Well........ 3 sets are a bit problematic.... Cuz - mold construction cost nearly the same as 2 pairs of skirts sale. And im not including all the transportation fees (from UK to Me) and all the packing stuff, delivery stuff to shipping place.... this would leave me nearly on 0$ after everything is done...
As for the shipping charge - lets say it is still 400$ cuz after i find out the exact dimensions it might chance to the lower side  So better to be safe and keep the price on 400$.-------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

I am keeping this group buy open until November 3. If we do not have at least one more person by that time, the group buy will be cancelled and the deposits returned.

My sideskirts fit like crap. Would someone get to keep the original urethane sideskirts? Because if I could get the urethane set then I might be up for spending the money to have a perfect-fitting and better-looking set of sideskirts.

[right][snapback]349224[/snapback][/right] The "original" is fiberglass as well. But, you could have that set if you jumped in the group buy. Shoot, I would even agree to take detailed pics of all 5 sets and let you have the first pic of any of the sets.

Coom, you should have joined this a long time ago instead of getting crappy skirts... now you have to pay 2X.....
Anyway, if you gonna change your mind, as long as i feel like i own you for helping mke out with some stuff, and as long as other people donated you money and stuff then you needed it to keep the site running, i would love to make you pair of these skirts for the cheapest i can go just to make you happier, and to say Thanks in some way... Just think about it QUOTE(Coomer @ Oct 26, 2005 - 9:04 AM) My sideskirts fit like crap. Would someone get to keep the original urethane sideskirts?

Someone should PM Batman, Jdog, and wannabe. Those guys expressed interest but could not commit at the time. Perhaps there were thinking that they could get them later. Maybe if they knew that the skirts will not be made if one or more persons don't commit now, they might change their mind.

Sorry guys. I've been watching this thread closely but I just can't do it right now. Trust me, I really wish I could.
EDIT: LOL I just remembered I've got about $1200 dollars in a savings/Life insurance thing I've been paying into for the past 5 years. I think I'll cash that in since I switched to a term life insurance policy... I'll get back to you all as soon as I find out more. I've gotta call my agent.

Jay, i found one person localy who is intrested... so i do think we can start on this as soon as posible. So your desidion, you could leave the GB open till the manufacturing time (till we build a mold) and if some other people will jump it it wount be a problem for me to make more pairs.
Just letting you know. -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

Just letting you know. [right][snapback]349575[/snapback][/right] fine. However, without another person making a deposit, I am short on funds to buy these. I am willing to front the money but I need a personal guarantee in the form of a post in this thread that you guys will not back out on me. Please post it up and I will send the money in. P.S. People involved in this group buy, you will NOT get your money if we buy the initial set of skirts and you later want to back out. I am just making that perfectly clear.

That's good news. Now my bad news isn't a deal breaker. The penalty for cashing in my life insurance policy this soon was way too high. Damnit!
