View Full Version : GI: FFF Protege Steering Column pod...'En Masse Production

FINAL PRICING IS IN!
Heres the Deal and the Info.
These are a "GO" on my end...Now it is up to you as the buyers and members who want this.
These will be even better than the originals.
The originals had a slight problem of being very thin and weak..They measured .060'' thick.
The new ones will be .080'' thick....Thats a 33% increase in thickness..but it will add a lot more to the Structural integrity than the added thickness does.
Definatley a plus without any drawbacks.
Now..On to the Pricing.
If we can do 40 Buyers....My price has come in Under the estimated amount as expected.
Here is the following prices based upon Paid orders up front.
The prices INCLUDE shipping and there is no additional PP fees.
The price you see..is what you pay..to your door. (US only...International Shipping is Extra..$TBD on an As needed basis)
These prices will only be for the GB.
After the GB is over..I will have these avaialable...But I am not sure what the cost will be for individual sales.
This will also likely be available form a vendor if they decide to sign on.
For reference....I do charge $165 for my Handmade pods in this fashion...so even at the 30+ Pricing..This is a steal for a nice molded product.
40+ Paid Buyers - $93 Shipped
30+ Paid Buyer - $115 Shipped
These will take apprx. 6 weeks to get done and to your door.
Also....
I forgot to add...there is another option with this pod.
You can get the pod without the Hole cut for the gauge.
This would give you a blank panel to work with for a custom gauges, Switchs, LED's , Shift lights ,Square gauges,Etc....Whetever you feel you need to be able to use...If it will fit..you can trim it to fit it.
Pricing is the same...Its just another option for you guys.
Now is the time to act.
If you want one of these pods....Payment for them must be made in full to OneSlowSol@excite.com
When I receive at least 25 Paid orders..I will place the order for the pods.
I will also continue to take orders and payments until the pods come in.
As of then...The GB will close.
If we do not get the required number of orders within a reasonable time.....I will cancel the buy and All monies will be refunded 100%.
I will collect money based upon the 40+ number in anticipation of getting that amount of buyers.
If you are in...Please Follow these instructions
Send the payment for $93 to OneSlowSol@excite.com
Please put "Single Gauge Pod" in the notes as well as your Screen name.
This will help me keep a running tally of your payment , your real name for shipping, and your SN for Board Tracking purposes.
I will keep a tallied list of paid buyers in the first post.
The buy is OPEN....Have at it!

(this is a Random Forum Members pic )
I am already in the process of getting these produced in Production form again...Not hand made..But Molded just as the original was.
I already have the item at the Mold Makers shop and should have a Solid quote from them by monday on producing these in Quantity.
I already have a Ballpark price on what this is going to cost , Hence WHy I am coming here to see if the interest is there to put these into production.And just for reference...Production molds can be and usually are in the thousands.
I want to know how many people would commit up front to buy one of these if they were readily available?
Now, I know what the first question will be.... "How Much?"
Well..It really depends on how much the mold is....But I am expecting to be able to keep the cost of these under $100.
This price would include your shipping and Paypal Fees.(Shipping to lower 48, Canada and Hawaii Extra)
If I kept the cost at or under this price....How many people would be interested...and would you be willing to pay a deposit up front to get this done?
If there is not enough interest...Then I will not proceed with this venture.
The part is already there..and after I get my quote for production Confirmed...This could be a go as quickly as I could dial up 10 digits.
I know some have attempted to make molded items before and Have never come through...and there even seemed to be the interest..so lets see how much interest there truly is.
This is something I have been considering and working on for a long time...and its close enough to fruition now to see who is in on the real deal.
I will also consider working with a vendor if they want to buy these in Quantity and maybe even offer an Exclusive offer to a vendor if the deal is right.
If you are Interested AND willing to pay a deposit on this item.....Please start a list and put your name on it.
Please only join this list if you are ready and willing to make the commitment.
It will take apprx. 40 Orders for me just to break even.
The target MINIMUM Number will be 40.
If for some reason this does not happen for lack of interest..Any monies will be returned 100% in their entirety if we start taking funds for deposits.

That looks awesome! So it will be an entire replacement for the top of the column? Same plastic thickness and everything? How much of the odometer will it cover when sitting in the driver's seat?
Very interested, I just want a little more information.

This would be a Direct copy of the Old on that used to be produced...
I am just taking the time to re-produce it since it hasn't been made in years and is VERY hard to find.
I will go find a few more pics...and yes..It replaces your Upper column clamshell.
I can also Offer it with no hole cut in the upper section for a gauge so you can modify it how you see fit...Whether it be for other lights..Shift light..Knock light or a Digital style square gauge..The options of what you can put there will only be limited by available Space and your creativity.

Nice to see that these will be back in production. I don't need one now (not enough gauges) but I'd definitely like to pick on up in the future when I need a new spot after I get my oil temp gauge. The wideband will likely be taking this spot. Even better news I should be in Cincinnati by that time so I could just swing by and pick one up :)

It will cost me quite a chunk of money to get these done...and I wont be left out in the cold if the interest is not there.
I am not going to go into this and lose money..Hence the GI.
And this is straight up serious..No BS games..no forever timespans to get it done...This is a "NOW" thing.
Its actually at the company getting quoted..
Its literally in their hands...And yours as members...If you really want it.

If I go forward...It will be NO MORE THAN $100.....Period...Or it wont happen.
The mold maker knows my goal and are going to try to meet my needs.
PLEASE Start a list if yor are seriously "IN"

Hey how hard would it be to do the dual guage pod around the cluster? is it possible to have them mold that as well im sure the interest is there.

Hey how hard would it be to do the dual guage pod around the cluster? is it possible to have them mold that as well im sure the interest is there.No..It would costg upwards of $15K for the mold for that one because it would have to be injection molded...VEry expensive...Hence why no one has done one.
I took them one to check out at the same time..Its not cost effecive to make.
I really can't believe there isn't more interest for this....Any other time people are fighting for these things.

Yeah I would..but this is already in the works...and CF is out of my realm...and no one around heremesses with it.

lets say you got 35 ppl, could you bump the price up alittle more? Or will they only create the mold if there is a minimum of 40?
ForceFed
03-21-2008, 05:05 PM
No..I have already considered a lower number of buyers...and it may be possibble
The current Minimum is what I have based breaking even on....If I dont sell at least "X" amount at a cetain price..I won't break even on having these made.
This is based off of prliminary pricing from the Mold company..But until I have the final numbers from them..I cant give a solid number to you guys.
I hope this all made sense.....My Current numbers and price "Estimation" are based off of their prelim numbers...It may change for the better or worse when the solid quote comes in.
You guys will be the second to know when it does...Right after me.
But for now..I need more buyers or we won't even get off the ground....NO matter what the cost is.

Makes perfect sense. I can see it now, the price will be $105 and everyone is gonna drop out. 5 dollars over is wayyyyyy too much.
I'm not sure I follow your Post here...DO you really get it..Or ?????
Its not really very clear..IT seems to go in many directions all at once.
And yes...I have tried to figure out a viable solution to only doing 30 Units and even only 25 units...30 may be possibble...But I think the price would increase too much I think on 25
For Example
30 would and up being right around $125-$130 at the current pricng expectation.
25 would be between $155-$160 at this level.
Quite a price increase for 25...But yet still cheaper than I sold my one off hand mades for.
SO yes...It is an option, but as the price goes up..I am sure the number interested would go down.....Which would only lead to needing more buyers...Again.
SO, in short...Right now , we are still looking to fill the 40 spots and we are halfway there...So lets work on getting the numbers we need and keeping the cost as low as possible.
I am just like the next guy..I don't want to spend more than I have to to get good stuff abd thats why I am trying to offer this as low as I can.
I think his can be done..so tell your friends and lets make this happen! (2thumbs)
If I have a Protege, I will definitely be on this list. This is just a free bumpitty bump bump for you, my friend.

There is no Deposit Due right now...If this goes through..I will require payment for your item.
Until there is enough interest and VERIFIED buyers...There will be no sale.
If your interested and would be willing to pay for your item WHEN/IF the sale of these happens...Please add yourself to the list.
Only add yourself if you agree to the terms and are willing to buy one of these 100% if they go into production.

I'm not sure I follow your Post here...DO you really get it..Or ?????
Its not really very clear..IT seems to go in many directions all at once.
And yes...I have tried to figure out a viable solution to only doing 30 Units and even only 25 units...30 may be possibble...But I think the price would increase too much I think on 25
For Example
30 would and up being right around $125-$130 at the current pricng expectation.
25 would be between $155-$160 at this level.
Quite a price increase for 25...But yet still cheaper than I sold my one off hand mades for.
SO yes...It is an option, but as the price goes up..I am sure the number interested would go down.....Which would only lead to needing more buyers...Again.

OK...Talked to the Shop today...Still no Verified price..but they are close to figuring out the tooling cost.
That is all I am waiting for..I thought they were going to get back to me today with the finals after talking to them...but Alas..no call before the End of business.
No matter....We still need more people for this to happen.
If you guys are willing to pay a bit more..as stated a few posts back...We may be able to get the number down to somewhere between 30-35 if the cost is not too high for the mold.
But we still need more buyers.

Any chance of a pic from a drivers view. I'm trying to see if the steering wheel would block my view of the gauge...or the gauge block my view of my odometer. I don't really look at the odometer too much but monitor my gas consumption very often, with the odometer.
Any Idea how this might look with the dual pods cluster ones??
I was thinking boost in the middle, with an A/F to the left and oil pressure to the right

You know you picture it in head you use your fist to gauge the size yet nothing compares to the real thing. Thanks Bro!! That's about what I pictured. It puts the Boost gauge in a great spot!!

FINAL PRICING IS IN!
Heres the Deal and the Info.
These are a "GO" on my end...Now it is up to you as the buyers and members who want this.
These will be even better than the originals.
The originals had a slight problem of being very thin and weak..They measured .060'' thick.
The new ones will be .080'' thick....Thats a 33% increase in thickness..but it will add a lot more to the Structural integrity than the added thickness does.
Definatley a plus without any drawbacks.
Now..On to the Pricing.
If we can do 40 Buyers....My price has come in Under the estimated amount as expected.
Here is the following prices based upon Paid orders up front.
The prices INCLUDE shipping and there is no additional PP fees.
The price you see..is what you pay..to your door. (US only...International Shipping is Extra..$TBD on an As needed basis)
These prices will only be for the GB.
After the GB is over..I will have these avaialable...But I am not sure what the cost will be for individual sales.
This will also likely be available form a vendor if they decide to sign on.
For reference....I do charge $165 for my Handmade pods in this fashion...so even at the 30+ Pricing..This is a steal for a nice molded product.
40+ Paid Buyers - $93 Shipped
30+ Paid Buyer - $115 Shipped
These will take apprx. 6 weeks to get done and to your door.
Now is the time to act.
If you want one of these pods....Payment for them must be made in full to OneSlowSol@excite.com
When I receive at least 25 Paid orders..I will place the order for the pods.
I will also continue to take orders and payments until the pods come in.
As of then...The GB will close.
If we do not get the required number of orders within a reasonable time.....I will cancel the buy and All monies will be refunded 100%.
I will collect money based upon the 40+ number in anticipation of getting that amount of buyers.
If you are in...Please Follow these instructions
Send the payment for $93 to OneSlowSol@excite.com
Please put "Single Gauge Pod" in the notes as well as your Screen name.
This will help me keep a running tally of your payment , your real name for shipping, and your SN for Board Tracking purposes.
I will keep a tallied list of paid buyers in the first post.
The buy is OPEN....Have at it!

any luck on finding a vendor that will pick up some of these pods?
also, you said that you will order the pods when you have reached 25 deposits and stop taking payments once the pods have reached you.
what if you did not hit the required 40 pod purchase by that time? raise the price and allow us to pay more or get our deposits back?

Well will see how it goes until then....I will make it happen....Don't you guys worry.
I dont see why we won't get that number n that time frame..But right now..I nee the Original Parties to get their payments in...That number alone is nearly enough to get the order in.
