I haven't installed mine yet, but the group buy that I did included George's flared rockers, and they look nice too. Fit really well when I set them into place.

I can't speak for George on the price, but I can pretty well guarantee that if you want steel flares, this is when you want to buy them.

Damn, the next car I buy is going to be narrow body and stay that way - you guys will build up it's value by cutting up original cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thank you all for the replies and the great pictures of steel flared 914s and the confidence. As Kenny so perfectly stated, there is a big set up charge even though we have paid for the tooling, and we have to run 100 sets of flares. That is a giant expenditure right when we have several big projects coming in from China and India and Taiwan.
However, I have seen enough response to propose this deal:
A club member can organize the purchase just as last time and for his efforts receive a free set of flares shipped. Depending on how many sets are sold the price will be as follows for the one time run:
40 sets sold 550.00 per set
35 sets sold 600.00 per set
30 sets sold 650.00 per set
25 sets sold 700.00 per set

25 is the minimum to make the deal go forward. To make it fair to everyone shipping to the lower 48 will be 50.00 shipped Fed Ex. The organizer can decide how long he will collect orders and when we have the minimum we will start production letting him continue to collect orders until production is finished and I have to pay for it! If by that time the 40 or more sets have been ordered, the price will be the lowest in the history of flare production even though the steel prices are much higher. As last time the organizer will collect the money and send it to us.

That is great Rob. I would like a guy who will really press the sales so we can get the lowest price for everyone by achieving the 40 set goal. If you are interested please call me personally and we can discuss My ext is 111.

George,

How are the shipping costs for Germany?


We can package all sets together and do it very reasonably as we have big lots going there all of the time. The more the cheaper per set. For example we just shipped a 356 engine fed ex 345 lbs for 750.00. The raw weight of the flares is 22 lbs per set, so from that you can get an idea. We could also ship them by a slower method. Obviously again the more sets that go there the cheaper per set as we will pallet and box them together.
