I have the blue, but I'm pretty sure it was a special color only available for the group buy.

I contacted NST. They're taking special orders for colors. I'm putting mine in for a blue one. Estimated delivery is in late march.

Just wasn't sure if it would cost extra since you got a special color. Its also disappointing that they are giving folks that weren't in the group buy special colors

disappointing? its good news that they're serving all of their customer's needs. What was the group buy price anyway?

actually...i'm with Stephen on this one...this is completely disappointing...

NST promised us (amongst other things) discount pricing AND special group buy color IF we payed immediately....

so, while it may be good for others...the exclusiveness they promised to the group buys is completely shot. the only thing we get now its a discount...

and to be honest, the ONLY reason why i decided to get it for the group buy is for the exclusive color! if it wasnt for the color, i would have just waited...I wanted to see how it is, if its worth it, if its something i can install, if its something i would actually want since i'm not going for performance....the color is exactly why i decided to just go with the group buy....



...while i'm sure NST has good stuff, their PR with me is slowly going down the toilet...

straight up ^^

From my past knowledge, NST makes great products. Sure they had little to no communication during the group buy process, but the end result was a great product in whatever color you wanted. Now you can get whatever color you want if you wait a month at the normal price, why does that affect the people who already have them? The TC2 Market sucks, low demand = low supply = high prices and not a lot of variety. I for one am thankful that NST took a leap of faith and R&D'd a lite pulley for our car. Otherwise, we'd all be waiting a few years until this car became even semi-popular
