Hey guys. I was interested a long time ago when this idea was presented. I am still interested and would love to send the money. I would like to contact APR directly this time to be completely sure that these orders are in fact will be or already made in a set quantity of 50x. I'm sorry to say, but sometimes in business you have to invest, basically you need to pay out of your pocket first, have the product there, so customers are satisfied and happy. I've crunched the numbers, and with 50 people your asking for 2500. I'm sure there's some profit to be made. And at 40 dollars a piece for pick your expected at a 500 dollar profit if everyone picked up the items. But your also willing to ship, with this there's no loss. I speculate the mirrors are manufactured at at least 25-35 dollars a piece since it's set of 50x. I would love to be on the bandwagon. But it's a 50 dollar risk. So I would like to contact APR directly to confirm this is no scam, and I know your a member with lots of credibility, but still. Can you prove the manufacturer website, email and number? Thank you.

wow, how about this, make a list of all the people who are willing $80 shipped for these, if that list is more then 30 people i will send playinwithfire $2000 (already sent $50 and that makes it $41 a piece, ill pay $1 to ship per mirror since they will all be in one box)
then they can get on with making the damn mirrors. then once they come in and yall see they are real i will send them to you, at $80shipped. yes the price goes up, but if i have to put my money on the line i am going to get rewarded for it.
playin, PM me if you want to work something out.

About the profit. Currently I only see about 45 names on that list. That equates to 2250 in my account. I will be purchasing 50 sets. the 240 will cover the costs for pre-paid envelopes from USPS and then I will have a whopping 10 dollars to pay back part of the 70 I spent out of my pocket. If I do sell the extra sets, yes I may make a small bit of money, but nothing at your expense. I have invested my time and effort into this project working out the logistics and spending my own money to get this done. I do not intend to make money off of this because if I did I would be charging you ALOT more haha.
To the bickering bunch:
Please stop fighting in this thread. I understand people are upset that others have decided to withdraw from the list, but in the end all fighting will do is turn more people off from the product. CarbonXe is not an affiliate of mine nor is he a part of APR and is acting on his own in these situations. Dakine and others, you need to understand the level of frustration here as we have been waiting since October for these and by now people just want them done. I am trying to stay out of the fights and defuse the situations, but it seems to be escalating with each person gone. If you are here, please watch the thread, comment, etc., but please don't fight. Let's harness this power for GOOD!
right, but what you dont seem to get is there may not be a set for you to buy if they turn out good. the offer is available to the people on the list. not to people who where on teh list backed out because of their own reason and then say ill buy it later when its done, its afaik only available to the people on the list, so in that essence its now or never (or at least till someone on the list parts their car out.

I am sad to see all this lack of faith! The issue is you most likely won't be paying at all if the product is available. If the product isn't that big of a deal to you like in 05 TRD TC's case then go ahead and wait. I just am offering the advice to those who really want it to take advantage of the sale right now. Feel free to click the watching link on the bottom left and stick around for the ride!
