At that price I'll be happy to soak the CC percentage!

I have a 99 boxster and would be interested in 2 GT3 boxster red seats. Can you check on the Carerra GT / 997 GT3 style seats? Those would be nicer but my guess is more expensive. I shouldn't need brackets as I've heard they mount directly on the existing sliders. When do you order, when do they arrive and how do I pay?
thanks!!!!

Between the PMs and above, I have a few questions to get with the vendor(s) on. Let me figure that out and I'll get back with everyone. Based on all the people who have confirmed or just have a minor question, we've reached their minimum for the group buy. I'll of course confirm everything with people before we pull the trigger.

My guess is they will just want a check sent to them beforehand, but I'll find that out too. The backorder Q is a good one, but frankly, since they are dealing directly with the factory, whatever they are experiencing everyone else will experience too.

I'll be in touch in the next day or so with more answers.

I am still interested in the top lines but am traveling for the next few weeks. One more question for you. What will be the time frame for the group buy?

Who else is interested? If you have sent me a PM and your email, no need to send again, I'm building a spreadsheet and I'll confirm with everyone.

Thanks for putting this together JPS.
I am also interested in two 6 pt harnesses to go with my new seats.
Maybe this vendor can supply those parts at a competive group buy price as well ????

Almost certainly can, but haven't delved in to prices as most haven't expressed and interest in that. However, I'll be looking for the same, and let you know. Are you also interested in HANS?

UPDATE: Supposed to hear back from vendor for final straggler quotes. I'm looking to summarize and have this thing put to bed in next couple days, as I'm leaving for vaca next Friday (16th).

So, if you haven't PMmed me, do so saying you want in. For those asking on the sporster and SPG/XL, look for a PM from me a bit later.

Please include your email so I can start bypassing PM.

Ok, so I have all the info I think I'll be able to get. If you haven't received either an email or a PM from me and are interested in a group buy (GREAT prices), please PM me. I'm looking to wrap this up by about Friday since I'm out starting next Friday in Croatia on vacation.

There are enough people in the approx 20% discount will hold, so last chance to get in. Sorry I can't post prices here, but can respond on PM or email, so send away. If I reached out to you and you haven't gotten back to me by Monday, I'll assume a no.

I really like the new Sportster CS model. Are they not avaialble yet?

They seems the best compromise between street/race and lighter weight.

I asked them to get me a quote, but they haven't gotten back to me yet. I'll check again. Please PM me your email if you have not already and I'll give you contact info as well, since I'm going on vaca end of next week.

Daniel,

We may have had a miscommunication. I apologize, and I've sent you a PM.

I think the vendor we have been dealing with has been competitive on the price and very good to deal with thus far. I feel the right thing is to stay the course at this point.

However, for anyone searching on future group buys, I suggest they contact you as well.

Thanks,
Jos
