*** MOD EDIT *** GROUP BUY IS APPROVED BY OMICRON & BOOSTD 7, 7/15/04

I am gauging interest for a group buy on the Mint Blue spoiler. The minimum order to qualify for the group buy is 10 spoilers total (can be 5 c/f and 5 fbrgls). The price quoted below is in US dollars, and does not include shipping which is estimated at $50-$60 for the continental US (exact amount depends on where you live - Automotive R&D is based out of CA) and CA residents add tax.

Please post whether you would want carbon fiber or fiberglass and if you are in 100% or not.

Unpainted fiberglass (retail is $410+):
5 people purchase: $344.50/spoiler
10 people purchase: $323.30/spoiler

Carbon fiber (retail is $540+):
5 people purchase: $483/spoiler
10 people purchase: $456.75/spoiler

In all reality, we would probably just have to wait on shipping time from Japan...BUT the worse case scenario could be 6-8 weeks only if Mint Blue has to build them. My guess is that they would have enough in stock, but I can't guarantee.

If there is enough interest in the group buy, then I will tell you how to place an order and send money.

Just ask if you have any questions.

Here are pictures shown in carbonfiber:

I'm in on the regular fiber glass
but you know that

Cool. Two down and 8 to go!

that kit is otherwise Autoexe correct?

no
autoexe and mintblue are different

i was asking about the rest of the kit

oh sorry
the whole kit is mintblue in that pic

I'm interested in the mint blue spoiler.

I'm thinking fiberglass......but would carbon fiber look ok on velo red?

What was your logic in deciding on the Red vs. CF spoiler, Mike?

Sorry, MikeB, it seems my car keeps getting more and more like yours, other than the wheels. It's not on purpose, it just seems that you have good taste w/ your velo red. :)

EDIT: 75%, depending on when we get the 10 required.

I think cf would look ok but I dont have any cf on the exterior of my car

If I got a cf spoiler I would want a cf hood and mirrors to match.

I'm gonna stay with all red exterior pieces and keep cf in my interior.

Yea, so we have 3 people interested...

i'm definitely considering it. not sure what would look better on silver

anyone have an idea as to how much i can expect to pay for paint on this ? I will goto couple shops to get quotes but i want to know what i should expect.

paint should be 100 to 200

DAMN....!!!! i really want this wing...but i'm about to purchase the burnout kit.. hmmm...can you let me know when you plan on purchasing the wings...cause i might be able to get one...? thanks :confused:

I'll send you a pm when we get enough. ;)

Photos don't show, well one just popped up, but there other two do not. Now the other ones popped up. Maybe you should download and repost them.

Interested in fiberglass, but not 100%.

bump
I want this one

hey Mrs showoff put me in for the fiber glass, btw hows the quaility?

No clue on the quality.

I went to super autobacs last week and they gave me this info

mint blue
3190 east willow st
signal hill CA 90755
562 988 8702

Sup3rbad already said these wings are on back order, he has one of them... :P Perhaps someone could tempt him to sell it!!

is it going or not...??
I wanna get cf one, but it seems that there are not enough people.

is this still happening?

looks like 9 people have shown interest...need 1 more assuming everyone is still in.

well.....i think it will take long time and not enough for cf.
i'm out.
I think I should pay more for that cf spoiler.

i am interest this spoiler, but CF only. i have picture of this spoiler in the red 8.

I want it fiber glass... count me in...

I am interested in carbon fiber one.

Question:

How do you attach this? Can the trunk still be opened? Sorry... never put a spoiler on a car before :)

Im still in...

are we doing this or what?

Please! Mrs. Showoff say something.

I LIKE IT ALOT!!!! I want one of those CF spoilers but dose it fit on the OEM spoiler holes ?? :confused:

Hello Mrs Showoff. I believe you contacted us about this a little more than a month ago. I have registered and can assist you if we will be your point of contact for Mintblue. How many people do you guys have so far?
