FYI...

If any of you ordered the A4 shifter kit, he's a video of the install kit.... or how to install it yourself.

Hey Mark, I approved my design on the 14th. I know it takes a few weeks to get to me, but will I get a shipping tracking # when it's coming or will it just show up one day? Who is the shipper? Fedex/UPS?

This is just an idea but, do you think it would be possible to work out a deal with the print shop that is buying the equipment to make these for you to sell? I'm sure the price would have to go up but, I think it would be a win for everyone, you'd still be able to offer this great one of a kind product, the print shop would make money making them for you, and all of us "I'm ganna get one of those someday" people could still get them when the funds are available. I honestly believe if you started making them for imports and Mustangs, and sold them on Ebay you'd regret selling the equipment, don't forget you can charge the euro trash crowd double.

People do you seriously only read the first post, then the last page? He has opened it for 48hrs from yesterday, & mentioned to email him directly about a deposit if you can't pay in full!! MARK is trying to work with you, but if you miss out you only have yourself to blame for not reading how to get in on this KILLER DEAL!!


Seriously Mark, FRY is on to something, maybe leave a door open to do runs for maybe once or twice a year atleast? What would the machines cost (just wondering)

We were trying to find someone to sell them to that was open to still making them on a Group Purchase type like we did before. No luck though. The place buying them is just a local print shop and doesn't want to deal with the work involved (even though Brian would still design them it is lengthy process of printing, die cutting, putting together, etc... that they don't care to mess with they said).

We are still waiting on full payment (they just gave us a half down deposit) so I'm just going to leave the ordering page up until we get full payment, probably have until Friday...

How much would this setup cost for investment? Just wondering, also what kind of printer does it require?

I don't know the details of the machines (that was all Brian's dept) but we put $10k in machines not including the materials. We got $8K for them.

The main cost isn't acquiring the machines but maintaining them. The printer requires 16 different ink color cartridges @ over $300 each. A cartridge is pretty small too & they only go so far. They have all been replaced several times.

The blades for the die cutter run $50 each & you only get a couple of overlays out of each blade due to the thickness of the overlay before the blade either breaks or wouldn't cut butter lol.

Not to mention the giant roles of material that cost in the several $XXX each for 3 different materials.

There is also about 3 hours of machine time, hand finishing & assembly for each overlay AFTER the artwork is approved.

They are very costly & time consuming so the 8-10K for machines is the tip of the iceberg and only gets you so far, with that price tag you still haven't created a single overlay.

Can we get just a headlight switch overlay without the HVAC and gear selector for a price break?
Sent an e mail about it too, have money in my paypal.
