[hskrsolara]

[Turbosolara]

isnt back in the day it was only 300 per hood?

thats why I asked I think it was $400 but even on ebay you can get them for $550 shipped and I know they are real VIS cuz they are in the same area

These prices reflect the bulk order that I have to make. 5 people really isn't even considered a stocking order by Vis so That's why the price is as such.

As to whether Vis raised their prices or not, I don't know. You do have to take in account that as gas prices rise, the cost of shipping raw material goes up. That usually causes prices to go up to cover the added costs.

I can do 550 shipped in the continental US but that's as low as I can go and that's for 10 buyers to make a stocking order.

I think we all know how ebay works but for those that don't, Ill explain. Vendors on ebay usually buy huge orders of parts from companies like Vis and by doing such bulk, they get great deals on each piece. Im not going to lie and say that I can compete with ebay prices but I will say that ebay sellers aren't really known for good customer service. What if the part is a phony knock off? What if the purchase is incomplete? Good luck trying to rectify those situations!

I think I have proven myself in providing outstanding customer service. If you want examples of my customer service, ask around. I just sold a Kaminari Solara lip kit to a member (dont know the screen name) and when the kit arrived, one of the front lips had a damaged mounting ear. I had another lip shipped out 2 days later at no cost to the customer. He didn't have to send the damaged piece back or anything. I don't think most ebay sellers would offer that level of customer service. There may be some out there but good luck finding them.

If you want to take your chances with ebay to save a few bucks, then be my guest. I am only offering these deals; I never said I was the lowest price or that you have to buy from me.

In the future, if you don't want to buy from me, then move on.

Thanks
-Kevin

In the future, if you aren't interested in the thread, then no hard feelings. Please don't post a bunch of crap in the thread about how you don't think the price is good enough...

Thanks

I think this is the same person I got my hood from, and it is NOT real VIS. However, the quality is good and I haven't had it fade at all like other's with real VIS.
