jgreening $0
1900wattcelica $227 defgeph $0 ($227 pending e-check). d-rock $0 WannabeGT4 $0 Batman722 $0 MiniSupra $327 Coomer $0 Both of the guys still listed as owing money are sending money orders. We should have all of our ducks in a row when Romas completes the skirts. Thank you everyone for making this a successful group buy so far. This group buy may end up taking seven months from start to finish but it hasn't been because people dragged their feet much (except possibly me with the whole VAT tax refund). The truth is that this is more complicated group buy than many due to the multiple foreign suppliers, the custom fabrication work, and working out the details on the expensive shipping charges. I appreciate all of the group buy participants getting the money to me on a timely basis. I also want to give Romas props again for making this work for the 6gc'ers in the U.S. We wouldn't have these quality skirts at ANY price much less $70 cheaper than any other option available. - Jay This post has been edited by jgreening: Jan 17, 2006 - 10:20 PM -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

Hello all you US owners - I've not got time to read through 18 pages of this but, can someone summarise this thread please? There are many 6G owners in the UK wanting some side-skirts and I believe this GB is sourcing them from the UK - can you give me more details please as I could possibly get some UK buyers interested thus bringing the price down?
Many thanks johny -------------------- Voted Best 6Gen Celica @ JAE 2005 (The UK's premier Jap Car meet!)

Many thanks johny Hi Johny and welcome to the site. These skirts were based on on skirts made by a UK supplier but are being produced in Lithuania. If you are interested in ordering, let me know and I will get you a price for shipment to the UK. You gotta act quick though because this GB is nearly closed.

Thanks for the reply - I've linked this thread onto our UK site - www.celica-club.co.uk to try and raise interest.
Can you give me a rough idea of total cost including shipping please? And also when will the GB close. Cheers, johny BTW - the skirts look very much like the ones I have on my Celica - fitment was not a problem and they look awesome.

Nice car Johny. Your skirts are from Z-glyde (or are replicas). These are Toyota replica skirts that came as an option. You are right that they are close but not the same. I will try to find out a price for you.

Looking at the Z-glyde kits my rear spoiler is very similar to the Z-glyde 2 spoiler but again , I'm led to beleive its GangsJail - can anyone confirm? -------------------- Voted Best 6Gen Celica @ JAE 2005 (The UK's premier Jap Car meet!)

For UK people it would be easyer to get the skirts directly from:
http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/ This supplier is extremly good, fast, and price for UK people will be practicly the same, and you could even avoid the hasstle of shippng and ETC. Quality of this guy is really really good. -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

Romas, any update?
I will be leaving for a vacation in Florida for a week on Saturday. So, payment may be delayed until I return. I might be able to find internet access somewhere down there and, if so, may be able to pay you before I get back if you get finished with the skirts. - Jay -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
