Kind of a bummer how expensive these are. I get it that they are a nice solution and require a lot less labor to install but still seems like a lot. And yes, I know it's a lot less money than replacing an engine. It's something I was going to do as preventative maintenance but the price tag is a hard pill to swallow.

Good evening everyone, I am organizing a "group buy" but the payment will go through me as I am fronting the money for 10 kits. I say group buy in quotes since I will be the one brokering the transaction/product. 1 spot is already taken (by me). The current cost if you were to order it yourself is around $600 + postage.
I am still working out the details, but it looks like I will be paying him a lump sum and he will ship to me, then I will ship to you all. Kits will be $525 shipped (add 3% if you are using paypal) from me, he explained to me the 4 kits for $450 were simply just ones he had around and were pre-production to gauge interest. I will take a 50% deposit and the rest payable once the units have arrived to me. It's not a huge discount, but I know how much of a pain something like this is for Mikhail to produce, and he's been great to work with on the DCT pan group buys I've done with him. Please send me a PM if you are interested. As far as timelines go, you should see your kit by the beginning of December, but no promises with how shipping globally has been going.

So I actually double dipped on this. Have the slonik solution on order (got in at the $450) price point, and have the carbahn plates on order as well. Need to have them by the 10th, so hopefully one of them shows up on time. I'll sell whatever solution I dont end up using.
For those that got in on the initial order of the slonik solution, has anybody gotten a shipping notification yet? I was told they would take 1-2 days to ship, but haven't seen anything yet. |

We'll call this one a bulk buy, as everything is coming through me. But it has been started and I plan to pay Mikhail by the end of the week.
So far I have 9 total inquires including myself but I am requiring full payment for ease of transaction, only a couple have paid. I have a spreadsheet going, so hop on while ya can.

We did not discuss any test details. I'm pretty sure you will have zero doubts once you install them. Cover sits firmly in place, way better than OEM covers. I don't see how it can come off Last edited by Audioslave686; 10-20-2021 at 02:31 PM.. |
