Let's flood Depo's inbox for JDM Headlights and Tail requests

Imagine $250 JDM headlights with the amber bottom. Or which one of you WOULDN'T immediately buy replica Evo 7 tails if you saw a pair for $160?

Sure CT9A is out of production but we're still out there with money to burn. Let's give it a try, I'm going to send out a couple right now. I'll even try giving them a call. They already have the tooling for the rear tails, so that's not even such a long shot.

Take a few minutes of your time, we might luck out.

If you're an evom vendor, maybe even try this form: You know people would ****** these up the moment you got some in stock.

Subject: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7/8/9 head and tail lights

Hello, I recently found out that your company makes parts for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7/8/9. The USDM Evos came from the factory with uglier head and tail lights and many people are very interested in purchasing JDM style replicas. Your company can make that affordable for many people, and would attract the majority of Evo owners in America.

Please consider the opportunity to reach this market, especially since you already have the tooling for making JDM Evo tail lights.

Thanks for your time,

USDM Evo Owner

A lot of people **** on the idea of buying replica JDM stuff. My tail lights from depo are leak free and work great. I'd buy their headlights if they sold them.

For the $400 difference I'm willing to fix that myself.

I like consistency too, either I want to go JDM all around, or accept the USDM look and leave it alone. I just love amber so I'm giving this a try.

Ive always thought if there were a company out there that made a replica jdm headlight, they would sell the crap out of them. Lets face it, the price of the jdm blah blah is way too much. Its all overpriced, bumpers, tails, headlights etc. I had the depo tails before I did my own diy 7 replica tails. Never had any issues.

Good luck!

No doubt. A company making JDM replica headlights at 1/4 of the cost.... they'd sell the **** out of them.
