Glenn, great, OK that is 5 so we have a minimum needed. I will give it a little longer to see if possible to get to 10. I will send a email to those interested, with some more information and how we wil proceed. Probably late next week of the first week in March, job getting in the way.
Thanks,
Glen McCartney

Why not x-post on the 944 board(s)? I bet you could pick up another 5 real easy.

Scott, great idea, just did it.
Fabio, tried to send you a PM but got bounced because you have too many, have to clear some out. Send me a PM with an email address to reach you.

Please send me a PM with the pdeals you want, please include year of car, pedals, style of pedal, whether you want the pocket for the Porsche emblem, what pedal you want it in, full name and address to ship to.

Will get back to everyone with final details to finalize the order.

Larry,
They cannot ship with the crest installed, Porsche asked them to stop it. They will machine in the pocket, $10 extra charge won't be discounted. They will give me the Porsche part number for the emblem, it is a factory Porsche emblem they use and then you can order it and install it yourself. That is what I plan on doing.

The group buy is almost ready to start. I spoke with Ultimate Pedals last night. I will be posting and sending a text file will have the information on how to place the order. Each buyer will enter it online themselves and comment that this is part of the group buy. Look for the text file and posting shortly. It looks like we have 20 orders, so we will receive the 35% discount. The broup buy will start on 3/1 and will remain open until 3/17. When it closes the total number ordered will determine the discount, whic right now is looking like 20 orders.

Watch for a PM and a posting with the instructions on how to order

Thanks,
Glen

Default INSTRUCTIONS FOR GROUP PEDAL BUY

Ultimate Pedals would like to offer a Porsche Rennlist group buy.

They are a machine shop in Southern Florida and have a line of racing pedals that they design/manufacture in house.

They custom make every order so customization is no problem.

In additional to pedals made specifically for your vehicle, they offer logo/crest/emblem pocketing, custom engraving, heel toe gas pedal extensions, heelguards, door sills, ete.

(This is going to be quite long, but for some of you this is your first GB so I am going to explain it all very thoroughly)

They can offer the following discounts:

1) 25% off if we get 5-9 orders
2) 30% off if we get 10-19 orders
3) 35% off if we get 20+ orders.

(pedal order minimum definition is a gas and brake or brake/clutch pedals)

They offer a no questions asked moneyback guaranteed if you are not satisfied with the fit or finish.

Other forum members really enjoy the product.

Now down to the nitty gritty

Having three (3) letters or numbers engraved is an extra $10 per pedal...Having a logo/crest/emblem pocket is an extra $10, having a custom logo engraved is an extra $15 to $25 (depending on the complexity of the engraving) per pedal.

The pedals will have the discount, any engravings/pocketing will not.

The engravings look like what you would see on the back of a watch or inside a ring NO COLOR IN THE ENGRAVING, it is just an engraving.

You can view engraving examples at the following link (scroll down to the bottom of the page):

http://www.ultimatepedals.com/pedal.htm

The group buy will be active as of 3/1/2006, and the last day for ordering is 3/17/2006.


The items will be shipped 3 to 5 working days after the group buy ends. (All pieces have to be custom made and depending on how many orders it may be 5 but we are shooting for 3.)

Shipping charges are typically ~$12 (UPS Ground within the Continental US).

So now that all that stuff is done, How do I get my Discount?

Preferably, if you have a pretty straight forward order, please use their website.

Their Porsche line can be viewed here:

http://www.ultimatepedals.com/catalo....php?cPath=135

Specify your vehicle, the Porsche Rennlist group buy, as well as any engraving/pocketing options during the checkout process when you are asked to indicate year, make, and model.

If you don't mention the Rennlist group buy you'll get your pedals quickly, but not discounted.

Also, with the website you wonít see the discount automatically, and you will get a confirmation email pretty quickly. That email will not have the discount applied to it, DONT WORRY....You are not charged until the items are shipped, and the set up of our software cannot compute a discount, it has to be manually accounted for. So when the items are ready to be shipped, you will get two more emails. The first email will be from our merchant bank and will let you know that your card has been charged the discounted price.

The second e-mail will be from UPS Quantum View (for the US orders) with your orderís tracking number.

You can also call them, please try to use their website unless you really hate internet shopping or you have a custom order, it takes up a lot of manpower to answer questions by phone.

Please post any questions in this thread, I will answer questions as quickly as possible.

I should point out ultimatepedals.com is not a Porsche product, but hey neither is Rennlist, so its all good.

Sorry for the very lengthy instructions, but I hate when there is not enough info.

Also PLEASE POST WHEN YOU HAVE MADE AN ORDER, AND JUST SAY HOW MANY PIECES YOU ORDERED (1, 4, ETC ETC).

Maybe we can get Randy V. to pin this to the top in the appropriate forums until the buy expires.

Group buy starts tomorrow, look at the directions above on how to get in. Please send me a PM with your email address if you are participating, or plan on participating. If we don't get enough by 3/17, I will keep it open longer to make sure we get the largest discount possible. We have lost a couple of the 944 guys. Thanks, Glen

So who's going to pad $30 to the order and engrave '8' on the accelerator.
'2' on the brake. And '9' on the clutch for you 3 pedal owners.

How hard are the pedal frames to drill through?
Great organizing the group buy, Glen.

If they machine in the pocket, where do I get the crest to put in the pocket I had sent them an e-mail asking this question and no response.
