Seriously guys? Not ONE comment?
I'm going to need more input from everybody if this project is ever going to take off.

How much are you guys willing to pay for each piece? Maybe we can start there...

*tk-421* · 02-03-2010, 05:54 PM

Yeah you're covered as far as the discount goes. Unfortunately that won't matter unless the people that were once interested in these pieces speak up.

I'm also a little bit disappointed. First there was so much interest. And now...

And I have another question. Is there going to be a hole for the license plate lights? If so, do you know if EU and US use the same size of light? (I think they're different, but not sure)

yeah, I learned that lesson the hard way. After ordering bodykits from Thailand based on such great interest, many members backed out when they actually got here. I still have some stock after a year+.

So I totally understand TK's appoach, which is to do this as a Group Buy with people willing to pay first. It's just too risky any other way.

I think most are scared of the cost of getting them prepped/painted/fitted on. It is one thing you really dont think about. I know that caught me off guard. Also I think people want to see a finished product to compare to others on the market.

I know I am buying a RBK spoiler with my tax refund, sorry that won't help out here though.

I think holes vary from country to country, so we would look into how to accommodate different plates when the time to make the molds comes.

It would be helpful if you could send me a pic of how the holes are distributed in your bumpers so that we can take a look. TIA

Well, maybe we could set it up so that one fabricator paints a whole bunch of pieces once they are all made. That way costs would down substantially. If there is enough interest in getting them painted, then my fabber might actually consider doing it as well. There just needs to be enough volume to justify all the extra costs.

As far as the bold part, that just can't happen. There is too much risk involved to invest in something that may/may not sell.

That may not help with this project, but it sure helps with the spoiler project! So thanks a bunch.

frownonfun · 02-04-2010, 10:31 PM

well i already have the spoiler and don't really plan on buying anything else except maybe the eyelids but i could donate a little to the cause if it will help. say like $100. i really don't mind putting up the money for something like this. i think it's pretty cool what you are trying to do.

Jochen · 02-05-2010, 08:00 AM

This is the only picture I have, but you probably can't do anything with this. Maybe I can take some better pictures tomorrow.

What would you like to see in the sedan? I'm willing to get sedan parts done if there's enough ppl willing to pay up front.
