Gauging interest... Altima Coupe Illuminated Kick Plates

[rjdmmfl1]

just a quick question shouldn't the driverside NISSAN be reversed so when you get into the car you read nissan, and not nassin??

I dunno if that makes sense Dr. Rob. also whats the shipping to Canada?

i understand what you are saying, but that's not how they are to be read... they are to read nissan when you are getting into the car from the outside, not from the inside of the car...

this is the same way the ALTIMA sign is on the factory aluminum kickplates...

GLOBAL EXPRESS 1-3 days via USPS $60.00Priority Mail International 6-10 days $35.001st class international ???? days $20.00

No thats what I also meant, however I am an idiot, I forgot to turn turn the top kick plate 180 degrees. Sorry its late and I have been racking my brain on setting up an openldap server.

I'll do the red version and the NISMO version when I have verbal commitments from you guys... again, these things aint cheap, and I can't afford to do these and not have buyers!!!

[spockrock]

can we start placing orders??

[LongBeachCoupe]

Im gonna have to hold off for a bit.. but doc id sugguest a down payment on any custom work.

[spockrock]

I am willing to pay upfront full cost before anything gets done I am would though like to see what the carbon fiber looks like.

[rjdmmfl1]

I would love to buy a set right now but since I don't even have the car yet I can't justify it right now. I can say that I will definitely buy a set from you if/when I get the AC, I just hope you'll still be taking orders in a month or two from now.

[rjdmmfl1]

A couple of folks have asked for that... but they have wanted it the way nismo is written with "nism" in white and the letter "o" in red!

I may do some carbon fiber nismo ones , but i will need a pre order deposit for those!

Custom orders will not be available for another two weeks. Right now, I have to recoup the money I lost on the R&D for these, and then I can new templates ready for these custom orders. Altima Coupe will require and entirely differnt setup with a 12" cutout to fit all the letters, new design from the design shop, etc.. but it can definately be done.... just give me a few weeks, keep searching the forum, and hit me up via email!

[sonicbliss]

werd. ill be checkin everyday. just say when and ill get the money together. buying all my performance stuff in the next 2 weeks anyway. so i should have the cash by the time you'd need it.

Price is a bit steep IMO but I would really love a pair of the nismo ones (white nism, red o). Can't wait to see how they look doc! win me over! lol

Honestly, when I sell to NICO folks, I'm not making alot of money off of them... the ebay price is a price for everyday "non-NICO" folks... and to be honest, for a one of a kind piece, its really not that bad of a price... put in illuminated door sill in ebay, and see some of the other prices on there... remember, as of right now, no one else is selling these for the Altima

Real talk, to do these right, even if you were to go and try to get everything done yourself, you would have to pay about $250 you have to buy the plexiglass sheet, get a mold created, and then have the plexi cut to the exact, curved dimensions, then find a good vinyl shop that will install the vinyl, then buy the luminescent tape, then find the kickplates, then put it all together... you can try to get it done yourself, but I PROMISE, you'll end up spending way more money than $200 !

Also, remember, if you provide your own kickplates, the price drops down to $140! Come to think of it, now that I realize how much money I'm not making, maybe I should raise the price a bit..... naww, just kidding@

140 with donor kickplates?? oh i am SO down!

[itsjustbusiness]

...I forgot about my kickplates! With a price of 140 - that just might be a steal. Although you did say 100-120 in the beginning. At those prices I'm definitely in! Put me down for the nismo ones (nism in white, o in red). I actually don't know if I'd dig the carbon fibre though but I would have to see. Maybe we could photoshop? Cough Mehdi Cough. Anyways, Doc - you the man! I'm anxious - When can I send in my kick plates?

yeah, those were guesstimates b4 the R&D and i saw how much it costs to produce each one!

[AzureCoupe0888]

ok well I am definitly down for this. i just took my contacts out so its too hard to read everything, but i think it says if we send in our kickplates it knocks the price down to 140??? sweet! DOC do we just email u and tell u what we want or is there another way we need to place an order?

[spockrock]

Yeah guys 200$ without kick plates is an awesome price considering it costs 75$ for the kick plates alone, rjdmmfl1 is only asking 60$ for it. Rob will you be providing instructions on installing these badboys?? Sorry I have never done any thing of the sort. Also I sent the paypal transaction this morning, so you should see the notification, but paypal likes to take its sweet *** time, I don't expect you to start until they actually put the money in your account. Untill then I shall salivate, hopefully when my wheels get in around the same time as the plates I can finally post pics of my coupe.

[adidas2go]

Yo Robert, check your email. We need to talk about getting these in!

[Italianbulldog85]

i should get royalties for my nismo idea

i get paid this weekend. hopefully i will have the funds to shoot you some money and my kickplates

[maxentropy]

Doc, when you get a chance, I'd like to know cost and turn around time for the following:

I'll send you my current kickplates, looking for custom wording 'DJ Maxentropy' in the same font as the ones you made already. Would like red or blue glow instead of white.

Dude, Rob.

These look GREAT. Good job man. I have kickplates on mine and I'm in for the discount. Let me know how much to send, how the hell I take my kickplates off, and how to install once you send these back.
