natallica Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 id be buying one for sure. maybe 2. Hey man, I think that car in the sig pic needs a couple extra things before it needs an airdam -N8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckheads Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I would be in for at least one, again depending on price. Also I have a fed ex acount where I get a 20%disount on all ground shipments. When you have the weight and dementions of the box let me know and I will check my price to see if it is lower. Would obviously need to know the shipping from and to so we are comparing exact shipping qoutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Gentlemen, Been pounding the phones and doing research...and there IS a chance that I can do these for a decent price. What I'm trying to lock down is how many would need to be purchased in order to determine exactly what that "decent" price will be. Obviously the more units purchased, the better I can do on cost. So what I really need to know from you guys is...how many of you would be interested in one of these. Leave cost out of the equation for the moment...I'm gauging just pure interest.

FijiPhil Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Nick, Im sure if these get produced they will sell. Ive gone one NIB airdam that I scored about a year or 2 ago, so I dont have an immediate need. However, the supply of both new and used OEM airdams is drying up. As time goes on they are going to be costlier and harder to find. I have no clue how much of your money you would need to tie up into this project to get it off the ground, but i would think there are plenty of people who would be willing to pay 400 plus shipping (or maybe even more) for a legit factory reproduction piece. I know if I needed one, I would be game for it. There are a lot of people who own these cars that arent on SQC, Id think you might have good luck on Ebay with them as well. I hope this is able to get off the ground. If it isnt cost effective now, I think it could definitely be in a few years, as airdams dont just grow on trees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not looking to make a quick buck here...I'm trying to look long-term and provide our community with what is a true need/want...so your long-term referent is refreshing to hear. I just have to make sure I don't kill myself financially in the short run by doing it! Cheers,Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfsquest Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Niko, I'll take a chance, add me to the interested list for 1 and lets get to a "guesstimate" on price on the urethane 1-pc. unit. I'll go out on a limb and trust you'll deliver what you're paid for, after these are made. W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) I won't have money until next march, but if you could get them for $500 or less, I'll be in for at least 1 Edited November 9, 2012 by D_Venable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to do this for the long-haul...so next Spring or whenever will be just fine. I'm targeting between $300-$400, but who knows what I can put together.

Komeuppance Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 If we were talking about a volume order of 100 units or more, now your desired price point is what I would consider feasible.

NikoFab Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 As well they should be light wight than the stock one Weight is definitely an issue, but from what I'm hearing, not so much as cost. CF and FRP certainly solve the weight issue, but not the reliability issue. Urethane by nature is going to be heavier than the other two, but is not going to splinter when a pebble pops up off the freeway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullzaflare Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 As well they should be light wight than the stock onedont run one, or get a fiberglass one, problem solved lolwe want something that will last, id rather something that will last longer than a month or so, and weigh 1lb more, than take a "lightweight" one and worry about everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 dont run one, or get a fiberglass one, problem solved lolwe want something that will last, id rather something that will last longer than a month or so, and weigh 1lb more, than take a "lightweight" one and worry about everything That's the general consensus I'm getting...reliability (material) before weight.

SOTTY Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Definately better material > weight saving.X2 , iv'e had both urethane and fiberglass in the past , weight is not the issue , long lasting quality with the ease of repair should be the priority here , urethane is way light enough anyway , it's not like your strapping a block of concrete to your front bumper , making/buying a cheap fiberglass version is false economy , it's going to get broken and easily , buy quality one time and be done with it !

kidjc Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 That's the general consensus I'm getting...reliability (material) before weight. Absolutely Nick... not sure I even understand the "weight saving" perspective?... even a few, several pounds. Are those trying to knock off a tenth down the strip? The air dam is one of those parts that receives some of the tuffest wear conditions, IMHO: stay w/ the urethane & the duribility of it.
