💵 For Sale GROUP BUY- Lexus Hood Bug Deflector from Australia PZQ1560300 - 2nd Round

[munkeeboi]

I am in the process of getting 10 Lexus Hood Bug Deflectors from Australia shipped in. The estimated cost will be around $320 (could be more, could be less based on a variety of import and shipping variables). Please be ready to spend at least that amount for the deflector. If it ends up being more than what you wanted to spend or you change your mind, your deposit is fully refundable.

The deposit will be $130 and the spots will go on a first come (deposit paid), first serve basis via direct message.

• Pick up in the Van Nuys or Pasadena area is free based on my schedule
• Shipping (packaging, postage, insurance) to anywhere outside of the Los Angeles area will be extra. I will use Pirateship from my end, but if you can get it shipped for cheaper, you can send me your own label.

Please Message me directly if you are interested in placing a deposit. That is the only way I will respond with the deposit information. I'd like to receive the deposit within 24 hours. I'm not sure if the demand will warrant being bumped to the end of the queue if payment deposit isn't sent, but I'm putting it out there if it becomes an issue.

There is a separate chat here for any discussions, as I'd like to keep this sales thread clean - Gauging interest - Lexus Hood Bug Deflector from Australia

I'll add you to the list below as deposits come in.

Does it work?

 

[Emergencymed]

The answer is “works for what?” … for rock protection of leading edge of hood (yes), for small bugs at higher speeds (yes), for large bugs and rocks (unfortunately no). Munkeeboi set this thread up for orders - so see other thread for further discussion.

Thank you to those that are participating.

I will update this listing as needed, but will more likely send direct messages to the group with pertinent updates.

The 10 initial spots have been taken but I have asked for more and will be starting a waitlist for those that didn’t make it in the initial order.

The Hood protectors have arrived at the Australian dealership and are awaiting pick up by the Courier. Still waiting on final customs fees/tariffs, but we are still within the original budget for those following along.

Shipping will be via Air, so there's a chance they will arrive stateside by the beginning of next week.

Too late to get in on this?

Too late to get in on this?

Yes, it's too late for Round 1, but I'll put you down for a round 2 if there is enough interest

Yes, it's too late for Round 1, but I'll put you down for a round 2 if there is enough interest

I’d be interested too.

Good news / Bad news

Good news - the defectors are in and they are in perfect shape!

Bad news - they only sent 7!!!!

I want to sort this out before I release any. At least this gives me a chance to order packaging now that I can get some dimensions.

Round 2 GB is open to those who have PM'd me previously. Will open it up on Tuesday if there is space.
