If 1-5 people buy the price will be $X
If 6-10 people buy the price will be $X
If 10+ people buy the price will be $X
Start a sign up list and put an end date on the group buy. This seems to be the most successful sales format for vendors on most forums.
Just telling people to contact you without listing any prices will do nothing for your sales.

Right now, the pricing is cheaper than it will be for any group buy because I'm giving a significant discount to help me develop them. I do not want to post pricing because I do not want people to expect these cheap prices in the future.

This is going to cover every piece of the interior trim, correct? To include the sliding covers for the center consol, ash tray covers.. If I did this I'd want everything with factory trim covered in CF.

Every piece. We're still not 100% sure on the sliding piece yet, as I'm not totally sure if we'll be able to wrap it and maintain functionality (we're going to try), but worse case we just paint it black.

Interesting, I'm not sure about painting it. I'm big on uniformity, if I paint it black I'd want it to match the same "shade" of black as everything else that's black. I'm not trying to be difficult, I just want it all to flow. I'm sure other members would agree with me on this.

I will be sending my interior pieces soon. Was suppose to have already done it but haven't had time at the shop to pull them off. I did talk to Matt about the center sliding piece. He is going to attempt to cover it in CF. I will post up pics if it works out.

Chrome bits removed (they'll be reapplied once we're all done):

Shoot me an email at matt@ocarbon.com if you want a red/black set. We haven't done any colored sets for the W211 yet, so I can give you a good price.

Pieces are being trimmed and sanded soon. Should be clearcoated tomorrow.
We're still looking for more people who want a discounted set, particularly of some of the custom colors and weaves. Email me at matt@ocarbon.com if you're interested.
