Group buy on CF front lip? is it going to happen?

Not sure if this is the right area to ask this, but is there going to be a group buy on the cf front lip as well? i know there is tons of interest and I am sure a buy of 20 would not be hard to achieve at all! just wonder how it was going!

If they use the right design, they can make an adhesive mount universal lip (think pur-r "B" type) that would fit sedans, wagons, coupes and sports pkg cars. Maybe even incorporate a flex rubber strip at the front edge to help avoid the damages of curb rash...

Yeah, they'd sell a few....hundred.

Well, it's all up to Neal (BlackC230Coupe), now.

I guess if people express enough interest, he might see the potential.

Allow me a little creative license as I modify this old quote -

"Build it - WE WILL BUY"

I'm not looking for one anymore, I bought one from a fellow member. Just a suggestion though, why not create an UNOFFICIAL INTEREST LIST on the CF lip, this may persuade him to have it made in one bulk.

Maybe it would help if we double-dog-dared Neal? Or should we go for his pride...straight to the triple-dog dare?

The CF lip we have for the C230/C32 i was going to do the group buy on soon, maybe after we did the group buy on the rear spoiler if it ever went threw.

But if you guys first want to see if there is interest in the lip FOR THE C230 or C32, by all means make a list here to first see if you have a bunch of people.

It would be much to hard to make a decent looking lip that is a pur r type that is able to fit a few different bumpers.

Neal,
I guess you still don't see the potential for a new customer base. I just thought that because of your sponsoship here, that you might want to expand your horizons fot the benefit of the forum AND your company.

That's ok....my money spends just as well elsewhere. Hmm....Maybe a new car is in order because nobody seems to want to support us coupe owners.

Nah....I'll keep my coupe!

This group buy like stated above is for the sedan only! for our exising lip. Not the coupe yet, so lets not make it more confusing.
