Popular Post sevenfourate Posted May 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) After some recent chat here (On a 'Members car' topic) - i thought i'd start something separate to keep that members thread clean. Myself, @Lennym1984 and @Craiglm68 have already expressed an interest in these. Unfortunately our first point of contact @ $30 a set in the USA is currently not working (Presumably due to COVID-19). The guys in the Youtube video below (KI Studio's) are $65 a set in the USA 🙄........and price aside i think they look really good fitted ! They also state that 987.1's require different trims to 987.2's - which may or may not cause problems: ***I will do some research, speak to some people / send a few emails out and do whatever i can this afternoon and tomorrow to see what i can come up with. But if we can find the right product at the right price......is anyone else interested in a Group Buy ? https://kistudios.com/product/porsche-cayman-987-headlight-trim/ Edited May 16, 2020 by sevenfourate 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevenfourate Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hi Syer, I normally ship to the UK almost daily, via USPS. However, with all the COVID-19 precautions, international shipping has been experiencing long delays with USPS. UPS still ships pretty quickly, about 7 business days from USA to UK. However, UPS shipping costs are expensive. I’m suspecting as things are starting to open back up, we should be back to our regular international shipping routing soon. Hopefully within the next month. Normal cost is $65 for the kit, and $28 international shipping. UPS international is $48 shipping on one kit, and the price increases on packages over 1lb. If you would like to set up a group buy of 10 headlight kits, (left, right, and a squeegee) I can do $48.75 each, plus the actual shipping cost. Thats 25% off, plus what ever the saving in shipping comes to. I have done group buys to UK before. The down side is, if I ship them all in the same box, you will need to repackage them in new boxes to ship to your friends. So, that’s up to you. Let me know how I can be of service. I have them in gloss black, matte black, and metallic black. I like the metallic black on my 987.1 Cayman S: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koWyWk2oKEo thanks, Kyle Isbell KI Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennym1984 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I'm not sure that I can stomach paying $65 for a piece of vinyl so I may wait it out until the cheap ebay ones are back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well; $48.75 + Shipping. But yes: expensive for what it is for sure Lenny. imo too. I'm happy to do whatever as not desperate. If that means going with the majority and waiting on the $28 (?) seller on ebay to come back online apre-COVID restrictions - then i'm good with that.......👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennym1984 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Hi, Just as an update to this, I see that the cheaper ones are now back on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/722948880/porsche-boxster-cayman-987-headlight Perhaps we could do a group buy and split the shipping and/or get a bulk discount. I've emailed the company to see what they say but if thosoe interested could reply (so I can gauge numbers) that would be great.

It would be Matt Black for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennym1984 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) They responded and said that they would give a 15% discount. Making the total £25 plus shipping (and taxes I guess). Shipping would be ~£11.50 split between however many people want them. Import duty is harder to judge as we may or may not get away with it. If we don't it could add around £29.50 plus handling fee (usually ~£10) to the total cost. If we imagine worst case scenario and 5 sets in total, we'd be looking at ~£35 each.

sevenfourate Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) A guy on one of the Facebook groups (Jay Shoolman - Based in the USA - so prices in Dollars) also makes these. And has offered us the following price breaks for quantity: 5 pairs $25 (£19.75) each plus shipping, 10 pairs $22 (£17.35) plus shipping . I can supply for 987.1 only. My rings are in one piece. ***I've now asked him about shipping costs 🙂 Edited July 13, 2020 by sevenfourate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott1967 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I’d be interested in the gloss black 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
