May i know if these paddles change the feel of it when pulled. I don't like the OEM paddle feel in terms of the strength required to pull and the feel of the click.

Ryan@VelosDesignwerks · 02-22-2012, 10:34 PM

Gotta get me a set of these! They look great!

Cal@Sonic MS · 02-22-2012, 11:22 PM

One more teaser for you Gents

///M Rakete · 02-23-2012, 12:58 AM

So when can we get these? You're killing me.

bchang2001 · 02-23-2012, 01:12 AM

do these have a lip on the edge of the paddle on the backside? similar to stock.

I thought the price was going to be $100? looks like it went up by 50%

Boostin FD · 02-23-2012, 06:50 AM

Me too. 149 is kind of steep.

The pic shows a black brushed but the options only list a gunmetal brush. Is there going to be an option for black or is that it?
Or is the gun metal basically a black?

Me three. Looks llke Darwin changed his post on #15 to edit the estimated price of $99-$120 to $149-$199....
They probably saw all the hype on these and figured they could raise the price.

Boostin FD · 02-23-2012, 09:45 AM

I'm out... unless there is a group buy and it would be 100. 150 is a lot in my book.

Down for a group buy

Out for the time being.

Tom@SonicMS · 02-23-2012, 10:29 AM

Guys,

Price went up slightly due to the cost of anodizing and prepping the material finish prior to anodizing. This is a small batch production so the anodizing place charged us a minimum charge. We always use the best anodizing place here in the bay area, cause we know how picky u guys are.

I would like to be able to sell for $99-$129, but we simply can't. We only make 50 sets of these and at $150 we are making less than a 20% margin.

This is nothing to do with hype, we love doing this, so the money is not the issue here. We are not here trying to make a quick bux.

Install pictures coming out today. Thanks guys
