I contacted Lotek about making a 3 guage full pillar for the 6th gens. We would need 30 people to get the project going. Price would be between $40-60. Once they started, it would take about 2-3 months.
So, anyone interested? -Kaleb |

I think Charlie has already gotten this ball rolling and we are waiting for them to do it...... If not then I'm in again as long as it is a full piller.

Yeah, Charlie had it going but he was told it would be around a year, so he quit on it. The email I got didnt say it would take that long but I'm going to email them again and see when they could start. I'm going to keep trying.

yeah i'm out of organizing it. THEY didn't say it would take a year, that's what the guy who organized the 5th gen one told me. basically, they are hard to keep in touch with, but if everyone is ok with fronting the money and not getting the product for 3-6 months., then it's worth it, and also, once they make it, it's always available. i just know a lot of people recently have seemed to lack anything resembling patience on a group buy. just make sure you emphasize that the money has to be sent in advance but it's gonna be a few months at least. they are a trustworthy company tho. i know this. they won't screw you over. it just may take a while.

This is the original email I got back from Lotek. Just so you all know what would be going on if this happens.
"ORDER INFORMATION: Minimum order quantity is 30 per project. All orders must be paid prior to project start. Pricing will be determined after receipt of OEM pillar. Most of our products range from $40-$60. After project is completed pricing will increase. Shipping charges extra - Currently: $5.99 US, $10.99 Canada, $15.99 International REQUIREMENTS: Name, address, and contact information of project leader. Follow-up will be with project leader only. (Please do not have others call for status) OEM pillar from project leader. This will be use for manufacturing and is non-returnable. Make, model and year range of vehicle. Color samples (at least 4"x4", OEM pillar preferred) of all colors to be painted up to 3. Size of gauge hole diameter wanted (usually 2 1/16" and/or 60mm). Note: some models may not take the 60mm size do to pillar limitations. PRODUCTION SCHEDULE: Rough mock-up will be made and sent to project leader. * Place on pillar. * Check for clearances and proper angle of gauge pods. * Note any changes needed on mock-up and document on paper. * Sign and date changes or okay mock-up as is. * Return to Lo-tek. Mold-making process - approx 4-5 weeks Initial production run - approx 3-4 weeks Finishing and shipping - approx 1 week after receipt of product. *******IMPORTANT******** PRODUCTION SCHEDULING IS COMPLEX AND TIMES MAY BE (and often are) INCREASED DUE TO CONFLICTS IN THE SCHEDULES OF THE DIFFERENT MANUFACTURING PROCESSES INCLUDING THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS AHEAD OF YOURS, PRODUCTION DELAYS AND RE-TOOLING. THEREFORE, WE CANNOT GAURANTEE A DELIVERY DATE. PLEASE GIVE AN ESTIMATE BUT DO NOT PROMISE A CONCRETE DATE TO YOUR GROUP!" -Kaleb |

Well, with Lotek, once they do the initial group buy/project, they will continue to sell it. So I dont know if any other companies would also want to sell it. |

I don't really need a pillar pod at this point considering I haven't actually bought my 96 GT yet, but by the time I get it I'll probably need it so count me in.... jordan2757@hotmail.com
