Gauging Interest: Carbon Fiber Sunroof for MK2 Supra

Hey folks;

so now that the hatch group buy is well on the way I asked Advan for details on the viability of making MK2 Sunroof Panels. I gave them detailed pictures so they were able to get me a very accurate quote. In order to give people a "break" between purchases I would only start this after the hatch group buy was all done and orders were shipped out.

Unlike the hatch group buy we will be able to offer slightly lower pricing for the group buy than we can through outside of group buy sales. But much like the hatch group buy we'd need 30 to get this done.

List Price on Advan's Site IF these get built will be: $399 + Shipping
List Price on Raptor Site IF these get built will be about: $350-$375 + Shipping
Group Buy Price: $299 + Shipping

For those with rusty sunroofs who don't want to take their chances on finding a ubber mint junkyard find these will be a perfect match. If anyone knows the weight of the metal on an OEM sunroof I'd love to know as to me if it's significant any amount of weight you can save from the highest point in the car = HUGE bonus. These are a complete swap and not just the cover.

Hey guys;

I just got word from Advan, they have inspected the sunroof that Tim sent them and are ready if we are. Pricing is a little bit higher than their original estimate, won't be able to do it for less than $330-$350 + shipping. I will need 22 units sold in order for it go through. Advan has said that they can start production in January but before they start I need to make sure we can do it so I'll be putting up a group buy shortly. If enough people are in we'll get it done...if not then obviously we won't.

What's next? No idea, I think we're scraping the bottom of the barrel with MK2 parts these days. The numbers of people who own them are dwindling, as are the number of people who understand that making low volume parts is not cheap. I personally have nothing on the "to do list" for MK2's anytime soon, which is kind of sad but hopefully something will come up.

I will take one if I can put half down. Need some time to gather funds. Christmas is right around the corner and it sucks to be happening @ this time. Will sunroof gaskets be available?
Yeah I can do 1/2 deposits...might be a few bux more as it's a lot more work for me to keep track of payments that way. Sunroof seals are not being made, I tried but they are just too complicated to make, I'd have to make 100 of them and initial quotes put them higher priced than the actual roof. I know this is a required piece for a lot of you guys but there is really nothing I can do about that, there is no way I'd sell 100 seals in the next 10 years. I still have dozens of hatch glass seals and they weren't that pricey to make so not really interested in holding thousands in stock for years again. For those that are hoarding seals this is your chance to make a few bux on them.
