Hey Guys,

Euroteck MS, is Ji, and he will be one of the main people overseeing and handling this entire group buy. The wheels are turning, they are not done yet! LOL.... Everyone's payment is in place with arrangements if required, but member Dafirm25, is the only one currently with an outstanding payment. His payment is not going threw, I do know he also totaled his car recently. If his does not go threw, there will be more spot available to anyone for this group buy. Which will no doubt fill up when people see the pics..

Gentleman,

we are still short 2 payments for the side skirts, would it make it easier if we opened the sales for the rear diffuser back up to help add to this total?

Neal, for what it is worth, and this is my opinion only, there's no material reason for you and your business to shut production on any of these parts. You have already done all the legwork, and absorbed the initial cost of design and manufacture. Yeah, " limited edition " and all that is great, but in the end to me at least it does not really matter. I purchase these parts for my car, and if others have it to, that's perfectly fine. I would much rather know if I broke my diffuser tomorrow, that I could get another one.

Now, what I do think you should consider as enticer for these types of group buys is a discounted price for the first 5 or 10, e.g. 20% off. So, the first few who put their trust in your design and build get a discount, then you keep sell more as per demand.

Just my 2c.

Not a bad idea.. Also no worries, if your diffuser was ever damaged, since you were one of the 10 you would always be able to order another one.

This is the link and we paid $850 + $50 for shipping = $900 total.

I think we only needed 1 or 2 so if you're interested, you should contact Neal first see what he has to say

BTW, sexy car man.

Personally, I want Neal/Ji to know that they can have as much time in the world to complete this project (no pressure, no worries) so we have an extremely high quality piece.

Only thing that I'm asking for is a small update here and there like Neal has done in the past. Maybe a picture of the side skirts...maybe a picture of the mold...maybe a "hi guys! this is what we accomplished for this project today!" type of thing....I dont know....anything!
