Sorry Will and David, haven't been keeping up with the forum lately.

For those who would like a little more background of the manufacturer, when purchasing an expensive accessory for their Raptor, here are two links of possible interest:
Validation - Testimonials from Roger Penske, Bev. Hills Rolls-Royce and others.
Qualifications - A little background music please...

Bradley, it's understood, a lot of others things happening in the world...
Thanks for being such an appreciative customer!

Very legit. Thanks for posting this. Thought maybe ex Dodger pitcher Doug Rau had something to do with you.

Thank you-

We are new to forums in general, and would like to have a better understanding of 'group buys'.
Some members have mentioned it. How does work and get organized?

Generally speaking, a vendor will offer a discounted price to forum members for a set a period of time if a certain number of members will commit (through direct message to you) to buy at that price. So you won't have to provide the discount unless you get a bulk of customers. It tends to make more sense if the vendor is a distributer that doesn't want to get a shipment from his supplier unless he has guaranteed customers, but works for vendors that make custom products as well.

Also, I imagine it's a pretty good way to gain references and support from folks who frequent these forums.

I've been involved in quite a few on a Porsche forum and what usually happens is the vendor will offer something up or ask for ideas as to what people want and then come up with a price that is discounted from their normal price. I've seen minimum amounts of commitments before a discount kicks in and then I've seen no minimum amount of sales. I've also seen a few where the discount goes up with the number of units sold, say 1-5, 6-10 etc.

You've got a pretty specialized product so I'd say a one size fits all might not work. Might be better served by numbers of orders. I know for good money I'd like to get exactly what I want and bet others would too. I'm looking at the heating option since I live in BFE Maine.

Now if you can figure how to ship In-n-Out here then I'd pay more!

Did I see bits that looked like the CF interior trim package on your original post?
