Anything you want.

Only 1 pc needed.

Just pick your vendor and order it and email me the confirmation... and I'll extort my $5 commission from them. Thank you :)

Sorry I'm just not feelin the GB thing when it's so easy to just order the darn thing yourself from the vendor and there is no real money savings... plus you can buy it whenever you are ready for it and don't have to wait for min. orders or anything! GB's should be for unique/new products only!!!! (like the floor mats, etc) Just my humble opinion :)

Ahaha, you guys aren't making fun of me are you? ;) Don't worry, I'll be doing a custom upper radiator group buy soon, then we'll go on to targa X-braces.

No offense, but I think its time to quit the group buy ideas(or lack of). btw - there already was a targa x-brace group buy.

Great Ideas? Lol. Oh yea buddy what "ultimately great" ideas they are, and so original I must say! lol. :icon_conf By the way since when was this "your" forum? Ive been on these "supra" specific forums before you even had a license buddy.

If your going to attempt to conduct a group buy at least be original, and dont steal someone elses ideas. The Targa x-brace group buy was already conducted:

My Advice is instead of trying to make a buck off supramania and supraforums members with inferior products get a JOB.

group buy purpose isnt to make a buck off of someone, its just giving the surpa community parts they want that aren't mass produced.

damn. take it easy there, killer. if you don't wanna participate in one of these, then don't respond to the thread.

sorry i didn't mean to stir trouble :)

all the group buys are getting a little out of hand though, honestly....i'm all for group buys of new/unique items but please no more GBs of readily available stuff! :)

think of it like this: try to be less of a middle man, and more of an entrepreneur/inventor... i'm all for new/unique stuff related to supras, hell i buy most of it ;)

(again just my humble opinion)

hey matt, i really do have a good idea for you.... i forget who it was, but they made a boost gauge face out of lexan or something printed to match the exact style of the factory boost gauge but it went to 30psi and used a mechanical apexi gauge internals, and it looked super sexy.

if you can figure out who that guy is, get the pattern and his printing contact from him and get like 10-20 made, i'd be all over that and i'm sure lots of other people would too. i'd even buy 3 of them or so if it meant getting it made... it's something i've always wanted.

That would be good, I believe you're talking about Ron. And NJ I already know there was an X-Brace GB, but people said they wanted it, so I can't do another one? I really don't get this, this isn't to make a buck, but because of my new JOB, I have far more connections to a whole diary of aftermarket parts/accessories. I'm trying to figure out what YOU guys want, hence the # of threads lately. Sorry if you don't want me to help out, I didn't even mean to cause this much trouble. I'll be doing the small GB's I've mentioned before in about a month, take care.

Hey like I said I got nothing personal against you offering group buys. My point being that you should try to offer an item that is not readily available, and you will have much more success in getting a group buy going. Good luck.



Everyone keeps saying that the group buys are not there for you to make a profit. If your honest intention is not to make any money and you sincerely just want to "help" the community, then why not offer the items you can get through work for your "cost"? Now thats what I call "helping" the community in that aspect.

even though youve been here longer, im not one that would simply backstab the members on here.(i think everyone remembers what you did to Shaeff) If youve been here longer, then why is it i have better morals and do things for the community? Id be damned if someone would say i wouldn't help someone else out on these forums. They may not be my forums, but this is my home, and frankly someone intruding here is unwelcomed.

You have done ZERO for this community. The personal issues I had with another member is my own business. If you would like to discuss it we can do so via pm, even though its frankly non of your business. If giving someone a refund 7 days after they bought an item from me is considered "stabbing someone in the back" than you need to rethink your morals there genius. Your nothing but a punk little kid with MINIMAL knowledge and know how. Please show me where you "do things for the community" as you say (sits back and laughs).

why this thread has not been closed yet is a mystery to me.
