Yeah, how much for all of it, Qauntity price reduction??? lol

well guys, it's taking so long to reply because i wanna give you guys the best price possible for the highest quality... we've been playing with the clearcoating to see what works best, and i'm hiring one of my buddies real soon to do the trimming and sanding for me so i've been trying to figure out how much i'm gonna need to pay him and all.... with school and the amount of crap i have to make locally aswell, its probably still gonna take me about a couple weeks for each order, but we'll see if i can improve on that...

so here's the 2gn.org "pricelist" if you wanna call that... any future groupbuys or threads i already started will be priced accordingly; feel free to ebay or resell this stuff for more if you want, it wont be available to places like srtforums untill the new year maybe even spring...

A pillars -$110CAN ( ~$95.70US)
B pillars -$90CAN (~$78.30US)
C pillars -$120CAN (~$104.40US)
Door Sills - $120CAN (~$104.40US)
Cluster - $65CAN (~$56.55US)
--------------------------------------------------
Total: $505CAN (~$439.35US) + shipping

Group A: all of above (11piece)
-$455CAN (~$395.85US)+shipping

Group B: pillars and cluster (7 piece)
-$355CAN (~$308.85US)+shipping

Group C: pillars and door sills (10 piece)
-$400CAN (~$348US)

Group D: pillars only (6 piece)
-$300CAN (~$261US)

*as always, i suggest a good spray adhesive like 3M super 77 which should be available at most hardware stores or online... for under $10 you'll have an almost permanent hold, and the closest possible look to a full cf pannel without gaps or crap like that;

no paypal fee, but all transactions must be in canadian dollars... if this sounds good, i'll start a thread in the vendors forum; i think i put one there before but no one really replied which is good, coz i didnt have everything sorted out at that point anyways;

can u do a 3 pod pillar cover piece??

rice_eater · Post by **rice_eater** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 10:59 am

dunno yet but teamliviD is contributing one to the R&D effort so i'm gonna try it yeah

also, i did the conversion on the prices above assuming that 1CAN=0.90US ; the exchange rate has changed, it's now only 1CAN=0.87US, so remultiply accordingly... this should drop the prices in $US around $5... i'll update them later today when i have a sec, sorry but i need to head out

neonpla · Post by **neonpla** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 11:32 am

i will ship you my bumper if you can make this for us r/t -acr fascia guys

you know what would be hotness, a cf airbag delete bin.

J-Villa · Post by **J-Villa** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 11:35 am

would love to see a lip for an 02 non r/t bumper

make me a mold and i will... you'll even get yours free

ALSO, i UPDATED the prices to reflect the change in the exchange rate, and that dropped the US prices quite a bit... this is why i am keeping everything in canadian dollars; you just saved $20, without affecting my bottom line in any way, simply due to the dollar going down a couple cents

rice_eater · Post by **rice_eater** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 9:33 pm

finished C pillar

why thank you. here's a little more

and lastly, the fuse box again... i dont know, i'd be ok with the weave distortion, but it just doesnt look right by itself imo; i'm gonna make that whole panel cf and see how it looks then

refect · Post by **refect** » Thu Oct 19, 2006 1:24 am

im still waiting for you to turn your whole car in cf haha. or at least make the headliner in cf. i think that woul be hot. having all the pillars cf and then the headliner cf also. so the interior would be black bottom and cf top vs the stock black bottom and tan top...

neonpla · Post by **neonpla** » Thu Oct 19, 2006 1:59 am

cf airbag delete bin! NOW!, lol i think it will look sweet.

Well, Ill start gathering some packing material. Wanna PM me an addy or something to see how much shipping will be? Its not too heavy, but it is kinda large. I dont have the rails or the mechanics of the sunroof to send, just the glass pannel and the metal frame that goes around it with the tabs that bolt onto the mechanics of the sunroof.

here's my first attempt at a badge replacement for OB.... not clearcoated yet... i dont know, seems a bit uneven, but not too bad for a first try

SILVER-ES · Post by **SILVER-ES** » Thu Oct 19, 2006 8:04 pm

I like the badge replacement. I wonder if it's the same size as my Charger badge.

Hell, I'm half tempted to send you parts from the Charger.

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Thu Oct 19, 2006 9:26 pm

that looks liek a MUCH better quality badge than mine is......

trust me, we were horsing around at my buddys boddyshop, and we put the pillars next to various CF stuff they had around the shop and the shine is way better than anything he had there... granted, my stuff is brand new, but i put it next to my cbd gas cap that i bought i think in april, and there is no comparrison; i'll post some more pics once i have it clearcoated and shiny

if you guys want, and you dont care that its not millimetrically perfect if examined with a laser pointer, i can make these out of scrap fiber just like this one for a wopping $10... i end up with dozens of small chunks of fiber from cutting out the bigger pieces i need so i can put them to good use instead of chucking them... i've been keeping the bigger pieces, but i do end up throwing out a lot of small pieces of "scrap" fiber... i can make as many molds as i need, i simply cut this one out from a sheet of aluminum, so even if 20 people decide they want them i can make them in a couple days, have them clearcoated and out the door :wink

whats cool is how strong this badge is... i made it out of 6 layers of cf and its strong as steel; carbon is really cool

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Thu Oct 19, 2006 11:17 pm

please do. make one for an SRT bumper too.
