Group buy ideas...

Since we have a GT3 seats group buy going I was curious in seeing if there is any interest in other group buys. I made a list of things I think people might wanna set up a group buy for. Here they are:

1. 993 Style Gemballa (or Gemballa look) hood
2. Carbon Fiber Door Mirrors
3. Carbon Fiber Rear Center Console (currently $889, but maybe we can get it for $600-700?)
4. Roll Cages
5. Carbon Fiber door handles and bin covers
6. Carbon Fiber guage rings (if thats possible)

Tell me what you all think. Maybe if we have enough interest, a sponsor of the board could step up and make some moves?

Thanks in advance

CGTs...

Other than that.. hmm I like the 993 CF hood idea. But damn it's crazy to have to pay 2.5k for one

I'd like on of those CF gauge surround clusters.. that'd be cool.

I thought the V1 thread already said Group Buy is a bad idea for any sponsor or business. Why are these exceptions?

The 993 hood rocks but I have heard nightmares concerning build quality and fit. Is anyone making a good one?
