Here are the terms I've gotten okayed.

Retail Price : $995.00 + $150 for shipping (Totals $1145.00)

Here are the terms/pricing for the GB:

The GB is over

Terms:
A minimum of 12 Kits must be ordered at the same time to acheive the GB price. Longo will be ordering 5 kits (maybe more if the GB is just slightly off target) to help out, so only 7 members are required to participate to get the price.

The listing below shows those who expressed interest in participating, but no commitment yet. The listing at the very bottom of this post are those who committed to participating. We will need a solid count and will not perform any transaction until all 7 (or more) participants have all provided shipping/billing information. Once the total of the first 12 are received, the GB pricing will stay open for 2 weeks. After that, it will return to retail pricing.

Note: If more than 1 kit will be shipping to the same address, there will be a slight reduction in the shipping price (around $80 off the the 2nd and each subsequent kit, but I'll get an exact price reduction quote for you once I'm given the information). So if some of you live nearby each other, it would be recommended to have the kits shipped to one address. The kits would be shipped in 1 box though.

1. azndragon669 - Confirmed
2. Soulquarian
3. CRUZtc8
4. purpled_out_tC - Confirmed

Q & A

What does the kit include ?
The kit consists of 4 pieces: 1 front lip, 1 rear piece, 2 side skirts (1 per side).

Are individual pieces of the kit available for purchase ?
No, not at this time.

Is the front grille available for purchase ?
Not at this time, but the interest generated on SL has triggered Five Axis Design to research the cost of production. The current one seen on Longo Scion's Five Axis Design SE tC is a one-off grille. The front grille will have a separate thread in the future if Five Axis Design chooses to pursue production.

How much for local pick up (shipping) ?
These kits are shipped from the manufacturer to each location. No local pick up will be available unless you don't mind taking a kit that's not in-box. Since bulk orders (2+ kits) will ship in a single box/pallet, there will be a slight savings (estimated at $80, but will differ slightly based on the situation).

How much for local pick up (tax) ?
Due to the tiny profits, I will not be able to assist with tax like I usually do :doh: The reduction in price from shipping (the question above this one) offsets the tax quite nicely... so yea. Not too bad, right? :P

Which payment options are available ?
I will be doing credit card over the phone as the most typical form of payment.
If you would like to use Paypal, I don't mind, but I would require a 2% increase to help compensate for the Paypal fees ($957.67) and a verified address.
Check/Cash is also ok if you're local. :P

Please continue asking questions in this thread. I will post up the answers in posts after your question and ammend this Q&A section.

Thank you,
Jeff :bow:

I'll check into that today. If I don't get an answer today, it will likely not be until next week. I heard Troy is out of town.

How much is the 5 tC at Longo?

I think you'd have to speak to one of our Scion Sales Consultants for that info =P I don't think I can post up the pricing :doh:

^nice...how many members for this to workout?

probably a million. haha i heard they arent gonna give any discounts.

I just wanted to get the ball rolling so I can throw some numbers out, and also involve Longo to order a hefty stock to fulfill the rest of the GB quantity to, hopefully, get a more user friendly price.

Front lips for $995? Sure =D j/k

I'll also see if I can do it by section (front/skirts/rear) for those who are looking to mix/match kits, or simply get a front lip. It'll take some time though (like always)

is that a flat honeycomb design or is it like the stock grille. idon't like the stock grille because it holds water after washing the ride. picky i know, but it suck when you just dried that spot, then have trickles of water steady coming out.

also will a bottom grille be offered??

looks sick tho.

More info soon everyone. I will PM the info to those that left their name in the check sheet.

Also Yeldak -- You'll be able to save a little extra if both kits are shipped to one address :bow:

We didn't touch on the grilles yet, but that will also be answered tomorrow :bow:

Pick up will be cheaper, but there are certain conditions (see the original post)

Oh man, count me in on the front lip if there's any way to get it by itself. Price would be great too!

The front kit is not available by itself at this time. No plans have been announced to sell the kit piece by piece, but it has not been completely shot down either. There is still hope for it, but no guarantees.

+1 ot he count :P

You've most def got me interested, but when will we be buying it?

It is aimed for the end of this month (March) but I'll have this thread up until late April. If we have not received enough committed buyers, it will be cancelled (still available, but at a higher price point but still under MSRP).

don't forget to post how long this will go, please.

This will be available til late April if we have enough committed buyers. If not, then it will go down in dust :doh:

Hey jeff, I might be interested...but are these already color-matched/painted???? thanks!

03-18-2008, 02:01 AM
i doubt there will be color matching. i think it will just come primered and u'd hafta paint it yourself or send it somewhere to get it painted for u. only cause its not a dealership item u know?

yeah i know who you're taking about, but that doesn't mean some couldn't be done in green primer--might run out of black, idk :P . not saying it's going to happen, but i think it'd be funny. cats rolling around with green primer lits, it's kind of like the yellow donut, do it ugly so people don't want to keep it on there.

Just to clear it up, I will be placing the first order this week. You will have up to the end of this month to keep placing orders at this price. After that, unless arranged, the price will go back up to the MSRP. I'll see if it can be extended past the 2 week deadline, but we'll see...

Yea, that's why I set a date restriction. Aside from that, it'll be back up to MSRP. The currently problem is that no one had the kit on their car (except for 3 or so members). With the current participants, we're looking at 10 kits that we know of that are in the wild.

yeah i feel ya, don't me wrong though; i def. want the kit to be a success, i just don't want to see it as often as i see the OEM or the RS1 kit. that said i know a lot of folks don't want to put the money up for it, though the quality is better and imo it's the sweetest kit out (body or lip). :clap:

Wow that is definably nice. I wanna replace my 60 with a 250 sometime in the near future. I'm just glad that I have one with the discontinued emotion chip so I can play my PS2 games reliably. Most of the files I have inside is just my anime and option/hot version rips. I can watch them through the unit but most of the time I stream it into my PSP using remote play. ANIME FTW!! :rofl:

Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean literally "over" the stock ones, but a direct replacement over (versus) the stock ones; so yeah you have to take out the stock (besides you need a mounting piece from the stock to be put on the 5axis in order to install it). Sorry for the consusion :P

Five Axis does not want to part out the kit at the moment. I cannot part out the kits either (bosses won't let me). I will guess that the front lip will be available separately in a few years (probably mid 09), but I could be wrong.
