I wonder if Doggy could make these in Urethane for a little up charge. It sure would be nice not having to worry about cracking one of these on a piece of ice or something in the winter.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.

Manny, let me know the status of your deposit.

It will add about $50 per set...assuming Romas is willing to make them at all. Let me know what you guys want to do and Romas can weigh in if he still wants to do this for only a group buy of 4.

Jay,

Did anything ever come of the VAT tax refund? If we could get that, it would help offset the extra cost.

Also some people may think that this has already gone through. Could you modify the title and first post to attract new buyers. Add something like STILL AVAILABLE, and a brief summary of what is going on and a pricing summary to show how prices will be reduced if we get more people involved.

Just some ideas

I emailed the vendor about the VAT tax refund yesterday and got a reply that he ordered the form and it never came so now he has to order a new one. We will see what happens on that front.

I will change the title as you have suggested. Its a good idea. However, this thread has been near the top of the For Sale forum for a few months so I wouldn't hold out too much hope.

Really, this comes down to Romas and his willingness to do the group buy at 4. He previously indicated that we could "get started" with 4 but that was early on and I don't know if he feels the same if we only have a total of 4. Also, there may be some shipping savings by shipping only 4 sets rather than 5. He estimated the shipping cost for 5 sets at $400 from Lithuania to the U.S. Perhaps Romas can let us know if there are any additional shipping costs.

As for the final price of the skirts with 4 people, I think my prior estimate was a bit high. Assuming we could save $50 on shipping to the U.S., another $100 on shipping to Manny, the extra costs are really only about $20 for each of us. Of course, there is already the $20 surcharge for the VAT tax. I estimate the new cost at about $475 per set but that could change $25 either way. If we get the VAT tax refund, thats $20 off per set.

Romas, we are at a total of 4 people. So, it would the set we buy plus three that you make.
