GTR front lips - re posted

[lwells]

$250 sounds more reasonable than $300. You're up against genuine plastic lips that won't crack or shatter unless you pretty much smash the car. These can be bought 2nd hand (in perfect condition) for $400 (albeit not Series 3 design)...

And it's always hard to advertise one price and then suddenly double that price and not get customer dissention. It's human nature to feel ripped off and decieved.

The way I figured it was I was able to get the Series 3 style lip for $150, and if it cracked.... meh. Not a big deal... But now we're talking $250 for a lip that is quite liable to crack and shatter, it's still a bit harder to justify.  

Just a bit of feedback from where I'm standing at the moment.

:werd:

Like christian, I can probably let 200-ish go easily, but $300 is starting to get up there....

LW.

I dont know what you guys do for a job, but working in the race car industry, makes you a perfectionist. I too have a nice car and help with advice where ever i can to those without much knowledge. I am not a businessman here trying to make a fast buck and I dont make crap products!!!!!!

Mate I have no reason to doubt the quality of your products nor do I believe you're trying to rip us off. The only reason why I'm out is the same as merli - "The way I figured it was I was able to get the Series 3 style lip for $150, and if it cracked.... meh."

I can supply my lip for the mould if required, don't know if it's in good enough condition though. It has two "cracks" any way I can bring it by for you to check, you're in Kew aren't you?

[sewid]

Any plans to make lips for the R33 GTS25t type-M front bar?

[51jay]

jeeez!!! you guys are weird, you want a top quality product made by a perfectionist......then you want to pay less for it than you would for a generally pretty crappy mass produced item.

If the lip from U** is the same standard as the 400R front bar it is absolute crap. The fibreglass won't be wetted out properly and there will be more plain bog in it than you would like to think about.

as for durability I know of a c/f bonnet that weighs between 4 and 5Kg that you can stand on.(this has been demonstrated) though of course this is NOT reccomended practise.

[400kwgtr]

as per my email. i am in for 1 x r32. in fibreglass please. thanks

[The Sherrid]

51Jay: Thank you for your kind words. Its nice to see someone with some experience with bodykits. It makes a difference when people know their stuff.

pawley : just waiting for the limit to be reached as you can see some people had pulled out, i am also trying to source a front bar in good nic to copy

sewid: not at this stage

[400kwgtr]

any news on when these will be ready?

[ph1]

no updates so I'm out, I decided to get mine repaired, looks like new and only cost $80

[The Sherrid]

well it looks like i have made a blunder of this lower lips thread so I am going to pull out this offer, My appologies to all who were interested and disgruntled, we have been waiting for 2 more people for the R33 GTR's and now one has pulled out so I am bailing before it turns ugly. If i do go ahead for some strange reason all the poeple on the list so far will be notified and offered one.

to make it fair I'll keep it going for another week ending on 17 April.

thankyou.

Sherrid,

I am still really keen, but as I posted before, I have a wedding coming up (5 weeks now!! the nail-biting stage). How much are the glass ones sprayed? As I said before I can probably slip by with $150, but not much more.

I used to do a lot of fibreglassing in my old job too, so i know whats involved with making such things.

Thanks,

Christian

[jlnewton]

Oh well, that would be the end of that then. Would have been nice.

[The Sherrid]

sorry prank, since i dont have a mould i cant make you one. Um since you are a moderator you can delete this thread when you have time.

sorry fro any inconvienience!

[meshmesh]

Wait.....

How about if I agreed to buy the an original series 3 lip.

Let me know, as I think this lip business is getting beyond a joke now, no one wants to get off there a$$ and do something about it.

BJ get in contact with me if you're still interested in going ahead with this.

[JAGR33]

Damn, I was looking forward to getting one of these too!!!!

What do you mean exactly by "i dont have a mould" did you have a mould b4 you offered this group buy? or were you going to get $$ from ppl, then buy a mould, then make the lips?
