would it be possible for a GB to happen with the Apexi sideskirts? any interest in it? or is there any vendor that would be able to accomodate this? I dont know anything about starting group buys(I've gotten in on plenty fo them though) and I searched to see if this has ever happened and I came up with nothing, and I NEED these apexi sideskirts, hopefully for less than $600!!!

thanks

gcthree 03-03-2004 09:05 PM

I believe that there is someone that does a knockoff of the Apexi skirts in California. I'll need to research it for you, as my friend (who runs TPR Magazine) is working on getting me a set. I'll get back to you.

zydecoking2 03-07-2004 09:53 PM

I would probably be in, but it would have to happen long enough after the diffuser group buy for me to recover some funds. Doesn't really help you out too much right now though Joe. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

T04Rx-7 03-10-2004 04:41 PM

I would be all over these!

I almost went in on the RE diffuser but ill just save up for the pro diffuser.



I want these sideskirts anyway so lets get this one goin https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

zydecoking2 03-11-2004 09:51 AM

Well Chuck says if there are 10 people he could do it for $350 for a SET! which is just over the price of one side of the Apexi ones so it's a pretty good deal. Since he doesn't have the sideskirts, and he'll have to order them(which I've heard not many people have in stock so it might take a while to get), then he'll have to start making them, so this all probably won't happen until the AFTER the GB for the RE diffuser is over, and even after that it'll take a WHILE(the GB for the diffuser is taking FOREVER!), so I assume chuck will need only a $150 deposit from 10 people to get this going...so if you know anybody that wants these please let them know. and maybe somebody could post this all over the place to get as many people as we can?

evot23rx7 03-11-2004 01:49 PM

Can we get a hard count going.



I am posting for TomBarkerrx7.



He is DEFINITELY in.

treceb 03-11-2004 02:20 PM

if i read the post on the diffuser thread correctly, he said he already has the side skirts already. just needs 10 ppl for teh group buy price to take effect.

zydecoking2 03-11-2004 05:38 PM

Chuck has the FEED ones already done(which IMO look better but are more $$$) but those won't cover up an area I need to be covered , if they did I'd already have those But these will cover up some damage I'm trying to hide, and I want these since they follow the lines of the car somewhat and look stock.

treceb 03-12-2004 06:52 AM

damn, thate why i hated reading comprenhension tests....

evot23rx7 03-13-2004 05:24 PM

So whos in?

zydecoking2 03-19-2004 04:27 PM

Well. it's been a while, and I guess nobody else is going to get in on this?

so far:

1. ME

2. T04Rx-7

3. TomBarkerrx7



if 7 more people could JUMP in here, that would be great...anybody?.....please..... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

gcthree 03-30-2004 10:52 PM

You can add me in too at $350. That makes 4.

zydecoking2 03-31-2004 01:31 PM

gcthree, the knockoff ones from Cali aren't avaialable I assume? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

well, six more to go I guess...I practically gave up on this one....

1. zydecoking2

2. T04Rx-7

4. gcthree



I'm still on board. same for T04Rx-7 and TomBarkerrx7 right?

T04Rx-7 03-31-2004 11:51 PM

Im down

gcthree 04-01-2004 08:42 AM

Yeah, no luck on the knock-offs. Guess my guy jumped the gun on that one. I'm really tempted on the Feed skirts, but the APexi look factory. If Chuck already has the skirts, are we sure he needs 10 to make them. He needed 10 on the diffuser GB, and got 17, so maybe some of the margins can be applied to this buy. How about a deposit to Chuck to show our serious intent? Like $100?

zydecoking2 04-01-2004 09:41 AM

Well the thing is, I dont think he has the Apexi ones, so he would have to buy them(I think they are about $600) and then make them, pretty much the same deal as the Diffuser GB

so he told me he needs at least ten interested for this to even get off the ground

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

gcthree 04-01-2004 09:46 PM

Have we posted this GB on the other forum?



That seemed to really get the diffuser one going....

zydecoking2 04-02-2004 05:33 PM

can somebody please do that!?!? I didnt even think about that!!!

Hi Joe,

this is Tom Barker, I'm in .

This is a great buy, wake up you other people on the line, You will never get a better buy on these side skirts. They will probably go up as gas prices go up .

So join in and post a response.



Tom

zydecoking2 04-07-2004 03:38 PM

I am not able to post on the other forum, so if somone, ANYONE could PLEASE do that it might help a great bit. I was told that the diffuser group buy didnt take off until it was posted all over the place(mainly the other forum).

ccw998 04-11-2004 03:41 AM

I am in for sure.

gcthree 04-13-2004 01:07 PM

Well, we're creeping-up on this one. This makes 5, correct?



Bump it up.

zydecoking2 04-13-2004 10:26 PM

any word on posting this to the other place?

blueskaterboy 04-14-2004 12:28 PM

i would be interested but i have no money at the moment

gcthree 04-15-2004 08:08 AM

I was just visiting SR Motorsports web site, and they offer the Apexi side skirts for $349 each. It's not clear if these are actually Apexi products or a 'high quality' replica, but the price is considerably less than other prices I've seen, and suggests that they're replicas. Let's contact SR and see if they'll put together a group buy for us?

AMRAAM4 04-18-2004 11:35 PM

SR Motorsports are real, why would they be imitation Apex-I? And for what it's worth, I don't know how you're going to get a PAIR for the price of one. A group buy is one thing, 50% off price is another.

T04Rx-7 04-18-2004 11:37 PM

thats 349 per side=698 for the pair L&R You can go buy them there but ill stay here for the replica's for 350 for the pair...

tigerdriver 04-19-2004 12:41 AM

I am in, they look great and chuck does good work!

montego 04-19-2004 01:12 PM

Hey count me in too!





I've always liked those side skirts.



Is the money going to be sent to rotary extreme directly?

gcthree 04-19-2004 02:13 PM

Okay, now we're getting somewhere. That makes 7, 3 to go.



Believe me, I don't want to pay $700 for the pair, but the group buy didn't seem to be taking-off, and I thought the SR Motorsports pieces woud be an option. If you go to JT Imports, Jason has them for $1300!!!! By that standard, $700 is a bargain. Plus, if we had enough orders, I expect that SR would do better than $700, no?



Anyway, our focus now should be on finding 3 more to get us to 10, and get this underway.

zydecoking2 04-19-2004 02:39 PM

plus I hear no matter where you order them from, it takes forever because most people don't keep these sidskirts in stock, not that this will happen in a hurry or anything(IF it even happens), but at least we'll be saving while were waiting, plus Chucks stuff is better than the real stuff lots of times. so beg all your friends to join this PLEASE!

PandazRx-7 04-19-2004 02:48 PM

Count me in also....I'd hate to miss out on this GB. But, PLEASE let's get this going faster than usual, the wait just kills me! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



By the way, I was wondering what the original ones are made of...not that it matters.

r-magic 04-19-2004 07:19 PM

OK....I'm in....Lets get this going!

gcthree 04-19-2004 08:29 PM

Nine!! ....Do I hear TEN?!!!??



We should check-in with Chuck. The rear diffuser GB required a deposit; shouldn't we be doing the same? Chuck?



Just in case Chuck isn't tuned in to this thread, I'll email him and get him focused on our GB.

zydecoking2 04-19-2004 10:30 PM

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif Yahoo for ME! this might actually happen!

anyway to answer the question posted by PandazRx-7, I'm pretty positive the originals are made of fiberglass, but these will be carbon fiber! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

just kidding! but from what I have seen Chucks fiberglass comes out smoother and cleaner looking than lots of original stuff. As far as payment, I suppose it'll happen like it did with the diffuser, and then he has to order an actual set and wait for them to come, so I hope that part doesnt take forever....

ccw998 04-20-2004 12:55 AM

How many right now? need one more??

gcthree 04-20-2004 08:47 AM

One more is needed. Actually, a few more couldn't hurt at this point. We haven't needed to put a deposit down, and I suspect that there's a chance that someone might drop out. Just for insurance.



I emailed Chuck last night to get this GB on his radar screen, and have him post the terms of the GB here for everyone to see.
