yo mxysxy,

would you like me to check out the shipping prices for the guy that gave me the quote for USD$3.55 p/kg airfreight??

it will take 2-3 wks.. basically the same.. again, if its cheaper fromthe phillipines then go for it.

Come on peeps ... help mxysxy out and provide details of your order.

These things are hard enough to organise as it is.

Cheers,

nice theory, but in practice most who want the seats have got them or are getting them, anyone who missed out might not want to pay $500 knowing it is double the price. and then there is the fact that they are fto seats so you have a limited market... but i guess there will be new FTO buyers in the future and if you held onto the seats you could sell to them... all comes down to patience really, and a bit of a gamble 8)

Guys,
I think few people called the supplier, it seems that he know we want his product. So, he doesnt wanna drop his price for a larger group buy.
I am letting my friend negotiate more with the supplier.
So, will let you know about the final price very soon.

Pagan is right, plus if you seriously thinking of doing that, you wouldn’t post it on a public forum & let everyone knows about your "business adventure" especially lots of non-member newbies & potential buyers browse through this forum.

well if you think about how many hours work are involved in fitting the covers $500 is a reasonable price.

but if i was you ed i would do it on a differant car, get a set of covers off a silvia, skyline, 180sx or commohore and take them with you.
