Ordered 4 pieces today!

 

Alot of people were asking what the crest in the pedal looks like. I was able to scan in the Ultimate Pedals ad which shows the Porsche crest in the pedals. Ultimate Pedals doesn't sell the pedal with the crest installed. They will machine in the pocket, then you have to buy the crest from Porsche. They will supply the Porsche part number and supply the instructions and epoxy to install yourself. Here is the scanned in ad:

 

I just received an email from Rob of Ultimate Pedals.

"Hi Glen,

Thank you for the links to the group buy.

I'm sorry but I have bad news about the crest pocket.

Apparently this is termed "enabling" in the legal field.

We have been strongly advised not to offer the crest pocketing anymore."

It looks like anyone wanting the pocket for the crest will not be able to get it. I will speak with Rob tomorrow and see if there is anything that can be done.

Thanks,
Glen

 

I just had a conversation with Rob about this "enabling" issue. The issue is the shape of the pocket machined matching the Porsche crest shape. You can have a pocket machined in the pedals such as a circular pocket, and that would not be a concern about copyright infringements. If you want a circular pocket, rectangular pocket, etc., machined into your pedal, just include that in your comments when ordering.

If you have already ordered the pocket, I would email or call Rob and let him know if you want any kind of pocket machined into your pedals.

 

Rob at Ultimate Pedals also told me that they have been asked by Porsche NA not to engrave "Porsche" into the pedals either, so looks like we're out of luck on both accounts...although I suppose if your birthday was Sept. 11 you might ask them to engrave that ..... 911.

Regardless, I still think they are great looking pedals and with the group buy will be a sweet addition to any P-car (I noted earlier that I ordered 4 frosted anti-slip with the inserts packaged separately on this GB).

Thanks again Glen for organizing....cheers

 

I just ordered 4 frosted anti slip w/ domed inserts.
Talked to Rob at Ultimate, FYI this is the most common pedal model ordered and the inserts are always shipped not installed.

 

just ordered 4 pedals, frosted antislip w/o grip inserts!

 

FYI, we officially have 20+ orders, discount is 35%

 

Just ordered a set!

 

I just spoke with Rob. As of 5PM, 36 orders have been placed!
A remimder, the group buy closes this Friday.
Manufacturing starts Monday and shipments will begin 3-5 business days after the buy closes.
Thanks everyone for participating.
Glen

 

I received this email from Rob today, pedals shipping early next week"

"Hi Glen,

Would you mind posting that we will begin production of the group buy pedals
starting tomorrow, 3/23/06.

Pedals will begin shipping on Friday, and continue till mid next week.

Unfortunately, the Porsche group buy coincided (within two days) of the BMW
group buy which ended 3/15.

Instead of our usual 3-5 days to ship the group buy orders, we are looking
at 5 to 7 business working days.

Please accpet our apologies for the delay, we appreciate everyones
understanding.

We hope everyone will like the pedals, and let us know.

We very much appreciate customer feedback.

Don't settle for "One Size Fits All" pedals.

Have a great day!

did they ship yet?

 

I received a notice that mine did ship. I think they are getting to them as quick as possible.

 

Mine shipped... I got a tracking number, however I did not receive an invoice.

 

Anyone receive anything yet?
