kidjc Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Hey there Nick... how's it go'n? Ya know... I really thought you'd have another dozen or so more people jump'n in on this 2nd run Nick? I don't think that "all" realize just how fabulous these "hatch spoilers" are/turned out? I don't see how they aren't aware?... but perhaps not having 1, or 2, in hand... they just can't really appreciate them! & w/ N8's decals... Oh My Goodness, they are"FIT!" Look'n forward to these on run 2 for sure! Thanx Nick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Thanks Jerry! Maybe more people will want them down the line. If so, I'll put together another run. I may produce a few extra as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOTTY Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 ^ Indeed Kidjc perhaps an item maybe only suited to the true SQ connoisseur ? , a very subtle and well executed exacting copy of a pure "80s" accessory .I'm not into the U.S roof spoiler ,them fugly widebody mudflaps and especially louvers ,however this little JDM gem was different and Nick did one hell of a job reproducing it .Those who purchased one i'm sure love theirs as i do , those who didn't really missed out .

Thanks Scotty! It has been a tremendous learning experience, and I had alot of fun doing it. Maybe I can get to a point financially where I can just produce them without having to run a group buy...then members could buy them on the spot and not have to wait between runs.

MotoCam360 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Welcome to the game Nikofab.... if you can't make 30% mark-up for time, materials, business costs, and the general risk of selling products to customers (yes there is liability here), then you can't afford to produce the part.... make a few for yourself and call it good. I remember last year sitting on $2500 worth of hood struts and taking 12 months to sell them.... that was FUN. The upside to all of this is that you will become very choosy in which parts you endeavor to produce, which makes you a wise business man. Now I realize it's not all about the money with these cars (I'm guilty too), but it's also not all about going into debt to appease members......just my 2.6cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you're saying...but I'm doing this for fun as much as profit...hence not making 30% markup! I've got a full-time that takes care of the bills and then some, so a large profit margin isn't my motivation. I just like cool car stuff. That's why I bought your chin spoiler, fog lamp covers, and hood struts! But you're right...the fun goes out of it if you go into debt...which I won't be doing. But I will probably make a few extra for anyone who may have missed the group buys. Scotty...I hear you about the economics of the typical SQCer. That's was actually one of the reasons that drove me to do these spoilers...and to do them at a decent price. If I make a few bucks on the deal hey that's great. Plus it's pretty cool to see something you made on other people's cars! Edited November 18, 2012 by NikoFab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stesir Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 How do they look on a completely louvered car? Anyone have that combo yet? That is rear hatch and side louvers.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stesir Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I was just curious because I have the Louvers anyway.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yeah not sure why you'd want to do both even if you could. The louvers would keep you from being able to mount the spoiler...and even if you could, you'd probably have to bastardize your louvers, the spoiler brackets would have to be modified to account for louver spacing, and personally I think the look would be cluttered.

NikoFab Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Gentlemen, Materials have come in. I will start the same as last run, and begin with the brackets first. I'll keep you all posted as it comes along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
