This was brought up at the last meeting by Pedro. Who would be interested in purchasing a carbon fiber hood or trunk from VIS in the next 4-6 weeks?
The more people we get, obviously the bigger the discount.
If you are planning on getting something, simply respond to this thread and I will update a list. The reason why I want to keep it here in this forum is because we are all (most of us) local, and don't have to pay shipping.
So I will go ahead and start the list. We don't need a minimum ammount of people, just simply the more the numbers, the cheaper it gets. Just tell me what you want, the year, and anything else you want to throw on as far as accessories such as hood pins. This could be a HUGE group buy
1. 05BabyGTR (04+ OEM CF hood / hood pins)
2. phat_v (04+ OEM CF hood)
3. Couldabeenmine14.9 (02+ CF Trunk)
4. sensualbeast (02-03 CF Invader hood)
5. AJSPECV (02-03 CF EVO hood)

by the way, this doesn't have to be limited to just sentras. Maximas, Altimas, G35s, Zs, 240s, whatever, if anyone is interested, let me know.

1- for me nissan 240sx But how much
DEFYF8
08-21-2005, 08:54 PM
eric, what year and style?
I don't know how much, I am hoping to get around $100 off per piece, but that all depends on the ammount of people who want in. It may be more than $100 off.

A hood for your car, just OEM goes for $405, but I am looking to get it around $300, remember, it all depends on how many people are up for this.

Trunk lids go for $500, but I am looking to get those a little under $400. Again, it all depends on the ammount of people involved.

Update:
We probably aren't going to go through VIS anymore since they are being dicks about this whole thing. Our contact over there is a big fan of the "push them away untill later" tactic. So we are getting them custom made by a better quality manufacturer and they are going to be double sided carbon!!! Also, this is going to be cheaper than going through VIS cause we are in good with this maker :)
Who wants in? Just me and Chris?
az03g
08-23-2005, 07:10 PM
how cheap is cheaper?
DEFYF8

I want pics of their products so I know what I'm getting / options please
DEFYF8

ok, new news, group buy didn't work out cause our rep at ViS is a dick. Good products though. For team members, best deal I can get is 15% off, and yes, i know that is what the sponsorship is, but that will be a bigger discount than I can normally get with group buys. Prospects or non team members, discount will be 8%. Let me know.
To see their products, it is www.visracing.com
AJSPECV

What happened to the alternate vendor?
Couldabeenmine14.9
09-17-2005, 10:30 AM
Thanks Bryan. I will let you know when to order that trunk lid for me
DEFYF8
09-17-2005, 03:55 PM
the alternate vendor wasn't interested in making them for us anymore because there weren't at least 4 people interested in each style. He told us he usually makes things for at least 10 people, but we were all asking for something different, so ViS or Carbon Creations products are our products I would prefer you all having anyways.

Count me in for the trunk and for the Hood. (OEM)
I also need a price quote. I have an 05 SpecV.
Thanks! :)
