That is great if we all lived on the west coast. If all NY we sent to me, some would be so far away even in NY. We will wait to see what pricing is first.

LOL yes I was referring only to bay area guys and gals ...

Following this thread from the beginning, and just realized these guys are right down the street from me! I'm still in for one, and don't need it shipped

Count me in for two if they're offering different levels of tint. I'd like to have a darker one and one that's barely tinted. I love being able to see the stars while driving at night, something I've missed since I've started driving a Porsche almost exclusively. I miss the moonroof from my old Honda Prelude. Hell, I'll even drive wherever the factory is and pick them up in person if I have to!

I'd volunteer myself & address as a distribution point for the Kansas City, Colombia, St. Louis, Des Moines, Omaha, Topeka areas. Could also drive to those cities to distribute purchases to the locals and would only need to charge an extra few bucks to help cover petrol. I've got my 944S tweaked for some decent mileage but it's still going to require gas in the tank to get there! Definitely less than what standard shipping would be.

So where are we at with the pricing question? Do we know a general range for how much Pilk wants for these yet? As soon as I know that, I can approach the local owners groups as well as several 924 / 944 owners I know personally who aren't any groups and don't read this forum. I'm positive that the majority of them will be buyers if the price is right.

I'm in as well. Subscribing to thread for updates. I could possibly be a distribution point for South East TN/North Georgia if needed.

I can offer a consolidated shipping/receiving warehouse destination in the DFW Texas area if there is a need. Northeast Fort Worth specifically, not far from Hurst.
