honeycomb trim panel GP???

[redwolfstang]

I was wondering if anyone else, like myself, that is interested in a honeycomb rear trim panel group purchase?

[P Machy]

id be interested for a really good price.

[Red Mach'03]

I would be in.

[bubba"T"]

i'm in if the little women will give up the cash:smack:

[FstMvr]

I'm in....if the price is right. I was putting off the purchase until I could get a better price...the time may be right.

[MACHRMK]

I'm in if the price is right.

[SeXyReDMaCh]

count me in also

[smileyprincess5]

Count me in!

[03Mach1Racer]

You can count me in

[SeXyReDMaCh]

hey so whos gettin' it together??

[FstMvr]

That's a good question.

[SeXyReDMaCh]

hey whos gonna ask for prices and how many people we need for discounts? I want it soon I dunno bout yall!

[Mister L]

Count me in for one or two sets.

[FstMvr]

I didn't want to get tangled in this but...so if you are the original process owner you can take over at any time...;) (redwolfstang?)

I sent an email to Partshopper (Pro3 ind) to see what kinda deal we could get with 10 or more sets purchased. I asked for the price to include shipping.

Not sure if you are aware, but the price toward the first of the year was $155 (still reflected on the Registry product page as that)...it is now listed for $159.95. I'm certain that will factor on the final price.

I will post the response as soon as I hear from them. :HOPPY:

[SeXyReDMaCh]

Thanks Tom for findin those prices...lets see wut they tell ya

[FstMvr]

Here is the message I received from Pro3i:

Tom, I am sure we can do something on the Trim Panels if at
least 10 people can make the GP. We can offer them at
$149.95 with free shipping - FedEx Ground ($4.95 handling fee
applies). When all members have made their purchase we will
ship the trim panels at one time.

$154.90 total shipped, if my math is correct. So we need confirmation of 10 people BEFORE anyone orders for us all to get the discounted price.

So if you want in on the purchase, post another email confirming you want to purchase at this price--once we have 10--we can all go to partshopper.com and make the order with group buy in the remarks (or call them).

[P Machy]

OK im off the thread then. thats not the price i was looking for at all and doesnt seem much of a break. granted they have to make some money which is fine but does any one know what it really cost to manufacture one? mass produced and common material...nah. no thanks

[ShakerMach1]

FYI, found it cheaper here at this site:

http://www.karkraft.com/99-04_mustang.htm

But I am waiting to see what tach9 has to offer with his MR1 Vintage M1 - Vinyl “Honey Comb” Overlay. My .02

[FstMvr]

Nice find ShakerMach1! Wonder what they charge for shipping and handling.

What's tach9's M1 overlay--a decal? Has he posted anything on it?

I sent sn95guy an email asking about a group purchase rate. Problem is his website is not set up for e-commerce and is not secure. Told him I needed a phone number as well. Will let you know what I get back.

[Greggvh]

ShakerMach1 the panels that you are looking at are the orig factory panels with the GT area that they make a funky Mach 1 to sit in its place. The CDC ones are not factory and have had the area redone so that it is made to hold the Mach 1 emblem.

I would really make sure you go with the CDC ones they will look factory and not like you tried to rig something.

Thanks for the heads up. Did not realize that the GT outline would be in the panel. I definitely wouldn't want that.:SMASH:

[FstMvr]

Do we have anyone that still wants the GP of the CDC trim panels at the current price?

[redwolfstang]

I, as many other mach owners, think the $150 price is too high for the trim panels.

We can already pay that but only save on the shipping:(

I would do a GP if its toward the $100-115 range.

It does seem like we have quite a few owner interested in the item but we need to like the price.

Let me check some places.

[redwolfstang]

I think that we may have a deal......

I emailed MRT about the GP and here is their reply......


Joe,
I'd love to do a GP.
I could set the price at $130.00 and free shipping in the Continental
US.
I would need 10 orders before I could pull I off.
Regular price is $154.95

Thanks!

What do you guys think?

I think its a very good deal, especially with free shipping!

[FstMvr]

I'm in!

[Mister L]

Count me in IF it comes with the MACH1 and Ford Oval logo. If not............I think I will pass. 130 sounds reasonable!

[SeXyReDMaCh]

count me in 2

[redwolfstang]

It comes with a new Mach 1 emblem but you need to reuse your ford oval emblem.

So it looks like we have three as of today for sure......

1. Myself
2. FstMvr
3. Sexyredmach

we need atleast 7 more

[P Machy]

OK 130.00 and free shipping sounds better.

does any one have a pic of the MRT one before i commit?

[hawk]

I'm interested. How do you reuse the ford emblem? Do these come with new adhesive or something? I assume everything (honeycomb, emblems) is just applied with 3m trim tape or similar.

Anyone have experience with this kinda thing?

[Mister L]

add me to the list. Sounds like a good deal and an oval is nothing that I can't get an extra from Ford. I only need one set ............for the White Mach


:THUMBSUP:

yes, everything can be reapplyed using the 3m trim tape.

here is the description of the panels:

Classic Honeycomb Trim panel is available for 99-04 Mustangs. Part consists of 3-piece black, Mustang heritage, Honeycomb. (For each trim panel you will be removing your factory emblems and reusing at least the Ford Oval, on the GT’s you will also be using your factory GT Emblem, the Mach 1 Trim Panel comes with an emblem and the V6 Trim panel requires a purchase of a V6 Emblem. All trim panels come standard with the appropriate cut out so no modifications are necessary. This injected molded plastic is applied between the taillights in approximately 30 minutes. No drilling required just simply applies with 3M 2-way Acrylic Bonding Tape. Warranty - 3 years.




So we now have 4 on the list:

1. Myself
2. FstMvr
3. Sexyredmach
4. Mister L


P Machy, all companies use the same trim panel made by CDC. It will look like what you have seen on other machs.

[MACHRMK]

Any problems with shipping to Canada?

[hawk]

ok, I think for $130 shipped, the decision is easier. Count me in....:THUMBSUP:

[yellow mach1]

Put me on the list for the trim panels. Thanks.

Tom

[1badstang]

I'm interested for sure

[redwolfstang]

machrmk: I emailed David and will be recieving a response soon about shipping to Canada.

So we now have 7 on the list:

1. Myself
2. FstMvr
3. Sexyredmach
4. Mister L
5. hawkpilot
6. yellow mach1
7. 1badstang

thank you all for your patience and interest for the group purchase of the panels.

This is my first time to organize a group purchase but I will make sure that everything flows nicely and smoothly.

We only need 3 more and then its time for payment :HOPPY:

I just got word from David that it will add about $15-20 to ship the panels to Canada.

Let me know if you want to get the panels.

[mstangfrk95gts]

Im in !!!

if we can get em for 130 or less.

mstangfk@yahoo.com

[loathe]

how much can we get off?

[redwolfstang]

awesome!!!!!!

So we now have 8on the list:

1. Myself
2. FstMvr
3. Sexyredmach
4. Mister L
5. hawkpilot
6. yellow mach1
7. 1badstang
8. mstangfrk95gts

loathe: orginally the panels cost around $155 plus shipping, If you join the group purchase you only pay $130 and that includes shipping it to you. So you save at least $25 plus the shipping.

[loathe]

well ill see--i have to wait about 2 weeks for my paycheck. Ill give you the heads up.

\\Moses

BTW: Are you sure these are the panels for the mach1's (Like CDC), and not something that came from ebay/or has the GT cutouts slaped w/ a mach 1 emblem?

[mstangfrk95gts]

can we let this ride and see if we can get more people= better price??

just a thought.

lemmie know when and where to have the wife send the money since im not in the us right now.

[FstMvr]

There's got to be two more people out there that want these....please...please...please. Got to have them now....:eek:

:p

[SeXyReDMaCh]

I know:( come one people

[yellow mach1]

Lets see a pic. of the panels so we know what we're getting before we send our money or make sure we can return for a full refund if we don't like them.

Who are you ordering from and where are they located. Phone # would be helpful. Thanks

Tom

Here's a link to MRT's description & pic (http://mustangracing.mrt-direct.com/trimpanel.php)

RedWolfStang, I'm just trying to help, not stealing thunder. I figured since this stuff was kinda spread through the thread, it would be good to have it all together to answer questions of those just reading it. We still need a couple more...

We are ordering through MRT Direct, you can call them at 248-449-4034 and ask for David M Raburn.

If you or anyone else would like to know more about them, you can go to there websites....

www.mustangracing.com
www.mrt-direct.com

here is a picture of the CDC Mach 1 Honeycomb Trim Panels....


Again we are getting these panels with the mach 1 emblem shipped free to the Continental US for $130

We only need two more to finalize everything :COOL:

These panels regularly cost $155 plus shipping, which could end up being $175-180 depending upon where you live.

Don't worry about stealing my thunder :THUMBSUP:

It will take more than me to get all 10 people signed for this GP :ANGEL:

[Mister L]

Do we need to go ahead and place our order with MRT or wait until the list is 10 persons or longer and then follow special instructions that you might provide. I don't want to be the one holding anyone up and I see my name on your list. I have all the patience necessary just keep me in the loop. Eventually someone will jump on this offer and meet the required minimum number of buyers.

Marty

[FstMvr]

MRT probably won't ship until we have 10 confirmed orders with them...did anyone place a notice on the other Mach1 site--bet there might be two people over there that want in. Just a thought...

[redwolfstang]

Ya, once I had people interested in this GP. I put it on the other mach site. No bites though :(

We will wait for 10 or more people to come on board the GP. Then David will let me know what to do next :THUMBSUP:

Then of course, I will relay the message to everyone.

[hawk]

I put an "ad" for the GP on the top level mods thread: What are honeycomb panels (http://www.mach1registry.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17714)

Maybe if people understand the heritage of these, they would be more interested.;)

[onebadmach1]

Hey guys! You can count me in on GP,just let me know when.Was trying to figure out another way to duplicate the honeycomb effect instead of buying one of these,but I think this is a decent price now.Has anyone else done something different back their besides install the trim panel? just wondering.

Thanks
onebadmach1

[FstMvr]

Wooo Hoooo! That's nine... almost there...come on, one more...we're sooo close now...

[Mustang Mach 1?]

You can count me as #10. My Mach 1 emblem came crooked from the factory, so it needs replaced anyway. Plus $130 sounds too good to pass up.

[SeXyReDMaCh]

[onebadmach1]

nope...I am hoping for a package by Saturday or Monday:HOPPY:

eeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr I mean Tuesday. Monday is a holiday.

[hawk]

Yep, just got 'em a few minutes ago. I won't have a chance to put 'em on for a day or two :(

Looks pretty cool, but there are no directions, other than "surfaces must be cleaned with isopropyl alchohol"

So how do the stock emblems come off, and are there any things to watch out for in the install?

how much pressure do you need to use when you stick 'em?

[redwolfstang]

You can take the emblems off by using some fishing line or maybe floss and work your way around the corners on the backside. Then just start twisting it and moving it. The ford emblem makes a hole in the decklid, i believe????

the mach 1 emblems should be very easy to get off.

You might also try a hairdryer to get the glue to soften for removal of the emblems.

I would assume they fit snug and once you push in firmly, that's it. firmly as in just leaning up against the panels should be enough force to keep them on.

[FstMvr]

Got mine 2 hours ago...got a date with the Mach1 tomorrow morning to put them on after she gets a bath. :THUMBSUP:

Thanks again redwolfstang!!!! :CHEERS:

Probably. If you can get another group buy (10+) going, they should be willing to do it again.

[hawk]

I finally got mine mounted, and they look awesome! Thanks again redwolfstang!

[hawk]
