Well, if you's are all in at a good price well I've got good news cos the more that get made the less they cost!
Awesome to see this much support in the first 24 hours. If everyone who's interested asks a friend or something we might be able to half the cost - seriously... I'll keep working on the design, see how many ppl we can get interested in the meantime... with some more firm numbers and closer to manufacturing time, I'll have more of an idea of a price!
Friends, family, cousins, workmates, or fellow ClubCJ or other lancer club members, anyone you think may be interested. Sorry, but I have NO other way of advertising these... so to get the numbers up word-of-mouth is the only way I can really think of... I'm not making 1000's and I'm trying to provide them at the best price, so in the interest of ALL of us we need a few ppl to help reduce costs.
Material cost is around $100, mainly because I plan to make them out of a solid block and machine them to shape... if there were seriously 50 buyers or something, we could get a mold made and probably halve the cost!
If getting them upholstered I won't have to machine them to a fine finish, so I'm kinda trying to reduce cost there. Anyone know (or is) an upholsterer? I know 1 guy that's ok, but he's not going to give me an awesome deal or anything...
If we can cut costs there as well we should be laughing... could be anywhere from $200 to $400 at this stage... (based on what i'm expecting, 50+ it could be closer to $150, but a figure like that's really going to depend on the upholstry as well...)
I may allow for a few extras just based on the "wow - where'd u get that, I want one too!" factor - seems not many ppl wanted the C lip until they saw a few of us fit them
so I'm sure ppl will be asking those of us with new centre consoles where they can get one too!
Are ppl happy to go with vinyl trim over leather? or is fabric preferred? I'd personally probably go vinyl cos it'll be cheaper and still look good... (like old car-seat vinyl, not front-grill vinyl!)
