UPDATE
Just received an email from CUSCO and Upgrade Motoring will be the dealer to support this group buy. Looks like this thing is going to happen. I have contacted Upgrade regarding pricing information.

I'm waiting on answers to a couple final questions I have for them:
- How much is due at the time of order (deposit or paid in full)
- What happens to those that already ordered if not all 10 members on the list follow through (10 is the minimum for the group buy pricing...we have exactly 10)
- Official cut-off date when all orders are due for the group buy (I suggested Oct. 1 to accommodate MightyP)
They are pretty responsive to emails and I expect to have these last minute details in the morning!

If you could ask them, in addition to those great questions, how much shipping to 34786 would be I might be in for #11+ (depending on the price cut off date.) I'm not ready to reveal my ride yet here but I'm working towards it ^^

Okay guys, I hate to be difficult, but I'm not thrilled with the discount. I was really expecting more than 10% off. Don't get me wrong, $180 is a good price, but so is $200. All else being equal, the strut tower brace is currently 5th on my list of modding priorities. So this group buy has to be a good enough deal in my mind to justify bumping it up on the list and $20 isn't doing it for me.
In order to motivate me to adjust my priorities, I want at least 1 of the following:
- Limited edition version
- Custom version
- Killer price
I hate to flake, but I've got to be realistic and I don't want to leave people hanging, so I'll say it now. I'll probably buy their brace in the next 2-3 months at full price, but I'm not ready to jump on this for $180. Sorry y'all

I totally understand where you are coming from. I was very underwhelmed at the $20 price drop, especially considering we'd STILL have to pay shipping.
Honestly, none of those criteria are going to be met. It seems like they have their hands tied with pricing because CUSCO enforces a minimum advertised price policy. None of CUSCO's authorized dealers will be allowed to sell for cheaper than $180.
I'm sorry $180+shipping was the best I could get from them (and believe me, I tried all sorts of tactics/incentives).
I'll take you off...no hostility from my end!

I'll continue to be the point of contact for this group buy, however.
That puts us at 8 interested members. Remember, 10 are required for the group buy to happen.
