GB Feeler on A-Pillar Gauge Pods With Boost Gauge(airbag compatible ones from Supreme Power Parts)

I'm working with Supreme Power Parts on a GB for their A-Pillar pod kits, but I need to get an approximate number of people who want them so he can check his suppliers.
EDIT: This kit includes the pillar AND a VDO boost gauge!!
It's normally $265, and they are having a group buy sale at $225.
They may be willing to go to $199 for Vortexers if we can get enough people!!! This is almost at-cost , folks!!
This is an amazing deal on this product, and I KNOW many of you have expressed intrest, but were hesitating on the cost. This is your chance!

UPDATE... THE GB IS UNDER WAY, AND THE EXACT DETAILS HAVE CHANGED. GO TO http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=240193 FOR THE NEW POST

Would this be just for the pod? I would definitely be interested...

actually, i'm going to edit the post, because i approached him asking about the whole kit, so it should come with a VDO boost gauge.

Re: GB Feeler on A-Pillar Gauge

$199 is d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y not at-cost.
Why would a shop go through the effort of moving product, processing orders, filling boxes, shipping etc, to break even?
It is a good price for something normally retailing for $265.
Re: GB Feeler on A-Pillar Gauge (Jman5000)

i dunno... he said it would be at cost. maybe that means that it's at cost to them after all of the things you mentioned. ?
Re: GB Feeler on A-Pillar Gauge (spaceman_spiff)

I'm not saying you're wrong, sorry if I wasn't clear.
But discounts of whatever level still have some profit margin. This may be very slim, but they're not selling these for fun.
Re: GB Feeler on A-Pillar Gauge (Jman5000)

How many people are needed to get to the 199 cost?
that might be something to ask them?

Re: GB Feeler on A-Pillar Gauge (spoolin)

well, he said to find out how many ppl i can get for that price, and he'd check with his fabric supplier to see if he can get a discount on the supplies. if you think you'll do it, do the survey, and i'll keep you all posted as i find anything out. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
also, i edited the 1st post (again... i really suck at this! lol) to clear up the cost thing. it may have been misleading

I'll do it if it will 100% work with the airbag.
Re: GB Feeler on A-Pillar Gauge (einsig)

yep yep! (the airbag only comes out of the top 5-or so inches, anyways)

Cool, sounds like I'm in. Just waiting on the details.
Re: GB Feeler on A-Pillar Gauge (einsig)

Single gauge I am assuming.....But would def. be interested if it came with the gague as well. Keep us updated. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Re: GB Feeler on A-Pillar Gauge Pods With

I would be interested if the VDO gauge can be replaced by an Omori gauge. The VDO gauges rattle more than my Mustang, and are nowhere near as accurate as the Omori. The pillar _looks_ great, but the VDO gauge ruins it.

I am a bit worried about this too. Either an Autometer or Omori (don't really knwo what that is) would be fine and prefered.

Re: GB Feeler on A-Pillar Gauge Pods With (rub-a-vee-dub)

So, will it be 200 for people who just want a pod? What about core deposits? Say I send in my stock a-pillar, will we get a discount?
Thanks.
Re: GB Feeler on A-Pillar Gauge Pods With (bedes)

I'm interested, but I have a few questions for anyone that can answer them. I am guessing I will most likely be buying just the pod, but where can you buy the better/more accurate boost guages that will fit into the pod and how much will they be? Thanks, Greg.
