Default ***2nd GROUP BUY POSSIBILITY*** - CUSCO Strut Tower Bar

Received communication from CUSCO that Upgrade Motoring will be supporting this group buy.

Pricing for the group buy is $180+shipping and applicable tax for CA residents.

We are considering getting another group buy started for this bar. We would need at least 10 more members who are interested. Who wants in?

This wouldn't have been possible without support from our resident member KidJustin, who is sponsored by CUSCO.


He has plenty of photos and a short write-up here:

This is also his dedicated thread for the strut bar with a bit more info:

Current Members Interested:
1. amolozhaviy
2. disaster06*
3. Voltagedriver*
4. OGS (from CStC)

*depends on who wins the battle for the biglilsteve strut bar

Yup, I'm Steve...nice to meet you, Justin! (assuming that's your real name :-D)

And 10 sounds great...especially if that's the number of units you were thinking they would bring to the US anyway...

CUSCO just sent this to me via facebook

Thanks justin, please email us if the Scion owners have some specific questions about the strut bar. And the MSRP is set at $200.

Goooooood. They responded to my facebook post as well. I emailed them for details on how to best go about a group buy initiative.

Together, we just may get this thing rolling!

So far things are looking hopeful! Justin and I just got an email from CUSCO and they are in the process of finding a dealer to support a group buy. Who wants in on this??

$200 is already a good price for this product...a group buy price would be awesome!

I'd like to add...

its $200 MSRP....that is in comparison to TRD's $245 MSRP (trdsparks sells it at $215)

a group buy would mean a discount...so yea simple math...

CUSCO = better product + cheaper
meaning CUSCO > TRD

haha!
