Group Buy: Skyline Power Steering Cap Cover Plates

[satanic]

Hi all,

Over the last year and a half I have been engaged in the rebuild of my R34. During this time we have spent a lot of time and effort adding small touches here and there to make things a bit more unique. Some are specific, and others are more generic (i.e. for everyone)

One such part that we came up with was a cover plate for the R34GTT Power Steering Cap. Even though the standard one was in OK shape, I found that it was a "dull" point when compared to the rest of my engine bay which is mostly filled with shiny bits n pieces. So as per usual, the spanners were dropped and the drawing board was manned. The design brief was "simple, easy to fit, and attractive". Once the design was finalized, Ann Harris @ K-Bar was contacted to do the hard work - as always she delivered with fabulous results.

Business Details:

Ann Harris

K-Bar Laser Etching

All our initial designs involving this technology were sent to numerous suppliers around Australia. Ann came back with the lowest quote from everyone, and was happy to assist with material choice, artwork and other recommendations. In total, around 20 suppliers were contacted and these guys were by far the best deal for our purposes (i.e. once off designs and productions)

What's on Offer

For those who took part in the R34 Fuse Box Plate Group Buy, the quality of the item is already known... the photos below show MY OWN version of the Power Steering Cap Plate - the final picture is the artwork that Ann has done for me, so I can offer it to you guys. Please note, even though I am 99% sure that this is good for ALL Skylines (dimension wise), please check by taking a ruler to your engine bay!

The third picture is the artwork sent to me this morning by Ann - there are a couple of designs there to choose from. I am under the impression that the numbers required for this GB are TOTAL UNITS, not UNITS PER DESIGN. So mixing n matching the order is fine.

Pricing

Ann is still finalizing the quote based on 0-10, 10-20, and 20+ units.

Just like the last group buy, pricing will include 1x Plate, Postage, and maybe a little surprise (not guaranteed)

GROUP BUY END DATE AT THIS STAGE IS: 15/11/2008 (or earlier pending public interest)

Specifics

Material: 3mm Metalgraph Plus (brushed stainless look)

Etching: All etching will be in BLACK (no exceptions)

Holes: No mounting holes will be needed; two small dabs of adhesive are all that is required for mounting

Care: Minimal care is required, this material is scratch proof - an odd wipe wouldn't hurt though

Interested pending price. Won't want to pay much for such a little thing

Is one of the bottom 'GT-4's supposed to read 'GT-T'? I would prefer that.

[satanic]

I think those designs are indicative and can change (text wise).

Hoping to get that final price back from Ann today...

Can one just say GT-R in large print instead of the current text? But keeping the disclaimer at the bottom?

If so, im in

[satanic]

Don't get you Steve, can you do a mock up in paint so I get a better idea? Can have Ann do the artwork after...
