Interior Piece Possible Group Buy

[AnderbrA]

I need to see how many people would be interested in this im working with VCFinishes (http://vcfinishes.com/) on this and they are going to give me a dealers discount because of the parts that I make and sell.

they can do pretty much any pattern, but what I inquired on is carbon fiber and brushed aluminum.....

this technology is how you get the stock wood trim or carbon fiber etc. dashes. They said you are looking at about 30 cents per square inch, but would be a little less possibly with the dealer discount. I only have to get a minimum order of $50 so that wont be hard at all....

post here if interested. I dont know the exact price until i get the list together and present it.....im only going to do this if it is going to be $150 or less ;)

heres an example of what they did to a saturn dash in carbon fiber.

[justinusaf]

Did you say that you were looking into brushed aluminum also or just Carbon Fiber. If you are going to get brushed aluminum, count me in.

[AnderbrA]

personally, i want brushed aluminum.....

heres a list of patterns avail.....they said they have more too.

http://vcfinishes.com/_wsn/page4.html

[justinusaf]

Count me in then for brushed aluminum. As soon as you need $$$ let me know.

[AnderbrA]

First thing is to get people together, because the more i do, the cheaper they will be....then i gotta get a set of pieces to them to get an accurate quote.

[isellalerodrop]

Count me in if they can do the carbon over color #155 in red.

[wy3134]

id like to see what the brushed aluminum would look like on our trim pieces....if it can resemble something very close to chrome id be interested.

[kou5oku]

mmmm carbon fiber goodness.

Count me in!

[AnderbrA]

ok, ima start a list.....

me: brushed aluminum

justinusaf: brushed aluminum

isellalerodrop: carbon fiber over #155 in red

wy3134: chrome or brushed if it looks like it

kou5oku: carbon fiber

AGT burlwood

[Vtolds]

What would be the cost of the carbonfiber?

Count me in on Burlwood. :thumbsup:

[AGT]

Whats the coverage of the kit or the layout if you could please sir?

[AnderbrA]

^^ i guess i dont know what you mean? if you mean what parts are done.....anything you send will be done....its not a kit you put on yourself, they do all of it for you, its dipped, its the same way that car manufacturers get the simulated dashes etc.

[AnderbrA]

tentatively it depends on all the pieces involved, she gave me a generic number of 30 cents per square inch.....but would cheaper because i would have a dealer discount....she would have to get a set of pieces to get an accurate quote....so as soon as i know how many people are willing to be in on this i will send her my set of pieces and get an exact cost......

personally if its more than 150 bucks im not gonna do it.... <_<


also , im having her find some more pics for us! :thumbsup:

[Vtolds]

Well that is ard to judge 30 cents a square inch. I personally dont know how many square inches make up all the dash trim but It is alot.

[FormulaNERD]

i would get in on this, but their carbon fiber pattern looks like ass.

[wy3134]

Hmm I wonder if they could do anything with the actual dash panel.....since they have more color schemes and all available.....

[FormulaNERD]

you'd have to strip the vinyl off of your dash, and then make the surface smooth.

[Vtolds]

i would get in on this, but their carbon fiber pattern looks like ass.
I think it is random depending how it is dipped.

[AnderbrA]

they have other patterns avail.... asked her to send me some pics of them.... the dash pieces are not that large, might cost a couple bucks for each vent or something....i really dont know...thats why we need to get a big list of interested so i can present her with a lot of business and get em done dirt cheap.

[AnderbrA]

Bryce -
What don't they like about the carbon fiber pattern? We have a smaller version and remember it can go over different colors. We do a large volume of aftermarket parts in the carbon fiber pattern 137 that is on our website. Also, we don't have offer a chrome finish at this time. That is a completely different process we will offer in the next few months and is more expensive.

You're idea sounds good. Let me know when the list is complete and we can revisit the pricing at that time.

there's nothing random to it.

they stick a sheet of the CF in plastic/vinyl form into the liquid, then they stick your piece in there, and a chemical reaction sticks the sheet to your plastic. and then they trim any excess that needs to be trimmed.

the pieces i have now were professionally WTP'd and i wish i could find the company that did them.

[AnderbrA]

formula......get a couple close up shots of yours and we will see if she can match it! ;)

We have a few different carbon fiber patterns, but because they aren't requested often we don't have pictures of them. If there is something these guys want to try to match and you could send us something to see if we have it that would be great. Otherwise the only thing we can do is sample some plaques in the different carbon fiber patterns and see if it's anything they are looking for. This would take a couple of weeks because our sampling dept. is backed up right now, but at least it's an alternative.

Let me know what you think.

[SouthDakotAlero]

Bryce,

Would we have to send in our stock pieces to get this done? Not sure I want to drive around with those pieces missing for a while.

[FormulaNERD]

yes, you would have to send in your stockers. or buy a set from a junkyard and send them in.

[AnderbrA]

yeah you would because they are dipped in a vat of the sheets and chemicals.....cant imagine turn around is that bad.....

[Vtolds]

There is a guy that sells all these pieces for the dash trim all done no need to send you stuff in.

[AnderbrA]

Originally posted by VTOLDS@Nov 12 2004, 07:27 PM

yes there is....its just cut vinyl....this here is chemically bonded to the plastic.....this is the way that the OEM manufacturers get the simulated dash kits etc.

[Vtolds]

No he advertises that it is not vinyl actaully but I saw it a while ago and it was for only the newer aleros. I emailed him and he said it was a dip like what you are talking about us group buying.

[AnderbrA]

all of the aleros have the same dash....the only interior difference would be 2 door vs 4 door....

you would still have to send your pieces to get them dipped.

[Vtolds]

Actaully there is a slight difference on the console around the shifter.

[FormulaNERD]

and what would that be? i have a 99, and the 2001 pieces i have are all the same.

[Vtolds]

Yeah but what do the 2003 and 2004's look like? I believe the replacements he had are for the 2003 and they defenitly looked different. He doesnt have anything on ebay currently so I have no way to tell exactly.

[AnderbrA]

i think he is right with the center console, if im not mistaken the difference is the cubbie in front of the shifter.....thats about it.

[AGT]

completely agree...and I like the idea of dipping better than a kit anyways....Thanks AnderbrA

[jamcllw]

I'll be in for the brushed aluminum if the price is right.

[blueyezalero]

^^^ Same for me

[cherrington17]

i'm thinking about it, but i'd have to get a set of spare ones from a junkyard, then send those. but i'd also have to get a figurative price for a center console.(around radio part)

[AnderbrA]

the only definative answer i can give you as a price is less than 30 cents per square inch....they cannot give me an exact cost until i send them a set. i am going to do that after i round up enough orders to make it worth it.....I am only going to do it if its less than $150 for all of the pieces...

[Arsonalero]

how much do you think it gonna run us? cuz if its gonna be like $0-$150 im in for Carbon Fiber

[AGT]

:lol: Seems like you are going to have to record it for them on a link AnderbrA lol

[-Alero-]

so you can send them any part you want, and they will dip it for you? well count me in. i want chrome or the closest thing to chrome. are they only able to dip plastics? and when does this group buy end?

[mobs241]

id be intrested if hte price was right for the small carbon fiber

[Super White Alero]

Hey Bryce count me in for CF # 137. And let me know about the Projector. Im will buy :thumbsup:

[mikegett]

I think it might be benneficial for us to reply with a list of the parts we want dipped. He could get a better idea of the quantity that way. Count me in on the radio bezel, shifter console, and dash gauge trim in Black Weave 155. If you could ask how they measure a particular piece it may help us to estimate the costs. Example. They have a picture of the explorer sport track Radio Bezel done in White Weave 137 . How would they measure this? I am going to guess it would be a measurment of the longest length and height. Thanks.

[Naich]

I wanted to do this too, but I don't have the funds to get the project going. Good luck Anderbra!

[AnderbrA]

naich...the good thing is i only have to get a min order of 50 bucks, so primarily the only benefit of doing this would be to get a better discount...they said they would give me a dealer discount because of all the parts that i make and sell, but if we get a bunch of people in...then we could get a better one.

[AnderbrA]

that would definately help....but right now i just want to get a list of those interested in the interior itself....the more pieces done, the more it would cost, the less....the less it would cost...

my goal is to get all of the interior parts done for less than 150.

[-Alero-]

yeah all pieces for under 150 would be nice. what about if you included your speaker housing/covers.

[AnderbrA]

anything can be done supposedly...

[Oldsman]

so when will there exact pricing on the pieces?

also what would turn around time on the pieces?

[AnderbrA]

once i get a decent list goin, im gonna send my set of pieces and get an exact quote on the cost. dont quote me, but i think she said 1 week....

[leroBob]

what pieces are u sendin in exactly

[AnderbrA]

radio bezel, vents, guage bezel, door pieces....everything you would normally paint

[|Rev|]

I might be in for the mini carbon fiber, depends on price.

[Oldsman]

let me know the price. but would be doing mine a cross between the rksport and OSV alero's

[AnderbrA]

got pics of what u are talkin about?

[Oldsman]

i only have a good pic of OSV interior. photos for rksport is in my head.

[AnderbrA]

well plug the usb cord into your left ear and download that shiznat!!!

[AnderbrA]

you should post some good OSV ones so i can get it to them as a sample!

[Oldsman]

i have the wrong USB cable must go buy another..............lol

can do on the OSV

[Oldsman]

osv1

[Oldsman]

osv2

[Oldsman]

osv3

[Oldsman]

the last 2 pics are out of the 2001 OSV which are the pieces that formulanerd has. maybe he can get better pics or loan them out to get them made.

[-Alero-]

oh god why did they have to be crushed! :(

[Oldsman]

there is still one OSV around

[-Alero-]

ya i know but 1 out of 3........... remain i dont like those odds :(

[|Rev|]

is it the red one thats in your pic?

[FormulaNERD]

here's a closeup.... i think there is an insignificant spot in the cubbyhole that i can cut a piece out of and see if they can match it.

http://img45.exs.cx/img45/1986/close2.jpg

[smokinAMD]

Dont bother, its the exact same pattern as the stuff I have. And they are the ones that made the stuff I have.

[FormulaNERD]

i'd like to see closeups of yours, from the pics i saw from ebay, yours looked different, more like the picture on page one.

[bigd6983]

i would be in for the radio bezel, gauge bezel, switch bezel on doors, and shifter bezel for carbon mini 174, but need a price.......

[flalero]

Of course, depending on price, count me in.

[cutelilcntrygrl]

It's like a broken record... depending on the price, count me in but I'm not sure if I want the Carbon mini #174 or the brushed alum...

[mike2002]

i personally would like to see some cars done in carbon fiber and brushed aluminum before i ordered, maybe even some shades of woodgrain....is this somthing that we'll be able to order after the group buy is done? or after we've seen a couple done?

also, somewhat off topic, i thought there were only 2 osv alero's....1 supercharged 4cyl 5 speed, 1 auto H.O. 3.5v6...

[-Alero-]

no there were 2 red ones and 1 green one, 1 red one had the 3.4 and one had the ecotec. forgot the manta green engine

[AnderbrA]

ok guys, you need to read the first post.....im only going to do these if they are going to cost less than $150 for all the pieces.

that being said, those who are interested in getting these if they are less than $150 should post.

[bigd6983]

yea but some people dont want all the pieces, so when you send yours in have them price each piece according to the number of people who want things done and let us know how much they will cost.......

[AnderbrA]

that will have to be determined after i send them the set, so they can adjust accordingly....but if its less than 150 for all pieces it will be well under that for just a few pieces.

[Naich]

Wow, if it under 150 for all the pieces, definately count me in eventually. When I was looking into it, the cost was somewhere around $60 for the console pieces, 30 for the dash ring, 20-ish for each of the door handle trims, and like 5-10 for each little piece (the hazard button ring, etc). 150 total would be awesome!

[AnderbrA]

I Think i got a match for ya!!!

its called fish scale #110......

[AnderbrA]

u lookin for carbon fiber too?

[shortstar]

I am interested in the carbon mini, could I get a better picture than the one they have in the pattern ection on the website? If it comes out for 150 or less I am deffinetly in. Like I said I would like to see the carbon mini in an actual photo, if I dont like the look of it I'm still a go but I will take the brushed aluminum.

nope.

[mikegett]

What is the alero OSV's'?

[FormulaNERD]

the company that anderbra is working with is trying to match it.... but no luck yet.

[AnderbrA]

formula...see if you can get that sample....so we can send it to them..

[FormulaNERD]

no prob

[AnderbrA]

send it to me....i pm my addy.

[|Rev|]

^^ If we get the OSV one, that's the one I would be interested in

[FormulaNERD]

we will. i want more parts covered than just the ones in the osv, and i wont settle for a perfect match.... it'll be a few days, but we should have a perfect match soon.

[PinkAlero04]

do they do pink?

[AnderbrA]

lol im sure we can find something....

[mike2002]

you wont settle for a perfect match, JEEEZ what do you want!!?!?!?!? jk....

[cutelilcntrygrl]

Is there anyone that already has the brushed aluminum done that we could see pics of? I've pretty much decided that I don't care for the carbon fiber look but I'd kinda like to get an idea as to what it will look like in brushed aluminum. I can't remember who, but someone already has this stuff, or something like it. Any ideas who it was?

[AnderbrA]

i have pics, but they are too big, and im at work and win2k paint doesnt open jpg files so eh...ill get them up as soon as i can.

[wy3134]

if you wanna send those pics to wy3134@comcast.net i can get em resized..and in the jpeg format.

[wy3134]

brushed aluminum, definetely count me in now, this is sweet looking!!!

[wy3134]

light cover in 110

[wy3134]

light cover in 156

[AnderbrA]

thanks man.

[flalero]

Um, yeah, change mine to brushed! That looks a lot better than their carbon fiber.

[AnderbrA]

which one...light or dark?

[FormulaNERD]

hmmmm, that 110 is pretty damn close.... hard to tell with the reflection.

[flalero]

Actually, I thought about it last night, the mini carbon is going to fit my color scheme better, so back to the mini carbon.

[AnderbrA]

lol make up your mind!!!

[Oldsman]

i'd be in for the 110.

what time frame are looking at?

[AnderbrA]

anyone have a set of interior pieces that are not painted? Id like to have a fresh set to send them rather than mine which are all painted.

im hoping each set would be less than a week.

[FormulaNERD]

radio bezel, shifter piece, and window controls. but if i cant get a perfect match to what i have, i'll be using my extras, and selling the osv stuff.

do they do labeling for the window controls and stuff?

[Oldsman]

well my car is parked for the winter

[AnderbrA]

would you want to take out your interior pieces and send them.....primarily to get an accurate quote, then....if i can get a good price....>150 bucks we can get this rollin....

[Oldsman]

ok. and then after the quote you could then do them for me.

i should be able to do that. let me check to see if i'll have funds.

[Crazytaxi37]

Sure, I turn my head for a minute and all this happens. I'm in for this. Let me know when you need the cash and where to send my stuff.

[SouthDakotAlero]

I'm probably in for the CF as well. We'll see how the match turns out.

[AnderbrA]

crazy...what pattern do you want? cf or brushed or what?

[Oldsman]

how soon you going to need those pieces? and what pieces are you looking for?

[AnderbrA]

im guessing we want to do the most common pieces,

radio bezel
shifter bezel
guage piece
window controls....4dr.
vents?

we want to get those there ASAP because that is what is going to tell us the accurate cost...

[Crazytaxi37]

CarbonFiber Please!!! :D

also add the hazard button surround, maybe the glove box latch

the vent surrounds would be cool too, but you'd probably have to remove the vent things and paint them black or something.

i also want the rears next to the seats, would have to remove the vinyl first, but i'm not sure how smooth it is under there.... and a-pillars?

[AnderbrA]

lets start with the most common ones first, then we can add on a case by case basis.

radio bezel
shifter bezel
guage piece
window controls,
hazard button
vents

[Eh_nigma]

What would a guy need to do to get those parts sent up to Canada? (Ie., ordering info, currency exchange rate, shipping costs, thank you cards, etc.,)?

Ej.

[mikegett]

I am curious as to the order that we would be sending our parts. Would we all send them to you or the facility? Should it be a list and send as others are compleated or all at once? I am just curious as to what would be the easiest way to keep us from mixing our orders.

[FormulaNERD]

i think he's trying to get ahold of an extra set for the people who cant just send them in and go without for a week. then you can pay, he sends you a finished set, then you send your unfinished ones.

[mdodge]

Holy, another important thread i've been missing. I would be in for either CF 110 or brushed aluminum. Can't decide just yet till pics arrive. But I would like to be on the list. :thumbsup:

[Oldsman]

well my vents won't come out due to them breaking and me fixing them so they aren't broke but yet won't come out with out breaking again.

i do not want my vents done anyways.

[smokinAMD]

I got all my original stuff to send out. Shifter, gauge, radio. I'd be doing CF110 probably. I'd do the window switches if they could label 'em like formula's from the OSV.

[Lucky_13]

I'm in for the brushed aluminum if under $150.

[AnderbrA]

Ok, heres how i think we will do it, after we get a set to them to get an accurate quote, how this will be done, is i think we will send the money directly to them with your pieces....primarily what is going to happen is im gonna get a better price...

those details will be ironed out after we get a complete set of pieces to them...they may want me to send them all the $ or they may accept it as they come in...I dont know yet.

mdodgealero: all i have is the pics of the samples in this thread...

eh_nigma: we will probably be sending directly to the company so just stick tight and decide what pattern you want.

[mdodge]

Like most people, i wouldn't be able to go without my pieces for a week. I'll have to think about which I want. I was hoping maybe some people in front of me would get there's done first so that I could see pics of them and then decide.

[AGT]

I dont know...but I can't wait til we can get some notice of when to send some pieces.

[AnderbrA]

ive driven my car w/o the radio bezel for like 6 months...lol

[Vtolds]

Driving without most of the parts wont really affect the car except for the part around the radio and heater controls.

[mdodge]

Well I COULD drive around without them if needed. But I'd RATHER not. I dunno, just be kinda weird lookin... :wacko: :lol:

[Oldsman]

i can send what i able but not the vents, due to the broken reasons, stated above.

i can't believe no one will part with the pieces for awhile just to get these made.

[smokinAMD]

I can, because I have the original ones allready pulled out of my car.

Thats the one thing I'm good for. Cores.

I have 3 sets of taillights, a set of headlights, and a butt load of other stuff lying around.

What I'm not good for....money.

I'd love to see some HID projectors on my car, and a set of ander tails, but I have NO way of paying for it.

[AnderbrA]

what kind of tails are you wanting smokin.....i could give you a fat discount if you wanted to part with those tails!!!! ;)

its whoever wants to send them cuz mine are all painted and i want to send a clean set first.....to get the cost...then when we get a cost, everyone send theirs and their money and viola!! done!

[|Rev|]

please change mine to the 110 carbon fiber :thumbsup:

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

Oh man! I wish you guys were doing this in March or something! The cold weather prevents me from wanting to do anything to my car except warm her up. :( (if the timing was better, I would have been in for a CF Radio bezel, and the ring around the guage bezel)

[FormulaNERD]

i dont understand why cold weather matters? i mean, you can still have your hvac in the car without the bezel, it'll be a little ghetto, but not for that long.

[Oldsman]

maybe he hibrinates in the winter so that is why he won't go outside to replace the pieces................lol

[AnderbrA]

thats the way mine has been for damn....like a year....i just know what the settings are on the knobs, dont need to have pictures....

[AGT]

I'm getting little reluctant now due to the "not getting anywhere thing"...no offense... I just think a kit might be better off because even when they dip these things there is still one question that comes to mind....Will the dipped pieces be clear coat labeled where the current text is on things such as vents and heat controls? :)

[AnderbrA]

lol its been 13 days....its not (not going anywhere) the sooner we get a stock set of pieces there, the sooner we will get an accurate price, then its done, you send your pieces they get done, then its over.....

johnnyboy was going to send the pieces, i just havent had a chance to touch base with him...

if you want me to take you off the list i will though.

i dont think they label them, no as far as the door ones.....but how often do you read them anyways...i dont....

as far as the HVAC ones, you mask that area off.

[AnderbrA]

ok guys, progress......lol

Oldsman has agreed to send a few pieces, and i am going to do the rest....

this is what we are sending

*guage bezel
*radio bezel
*shifter bezel
*door pieces 2 and 4 door
*vent bezels


once they get there they can give us an accurate quote....cross our fingers it will be less than 150 bucks

I'm still in, I just am a little reluctant to have no labels. I can wait it out. :thumbsup:

[AnderbrA]

you could prolly make some clear stickers with the Lettering on it or something if necessary....

[blueyezalero]

Well I may be out of this. I may be trading in the Alero for a truck.

[mikegett]

You will have to count me out. The holiday bills are going to be a bit tight this year.

[wy3134]

hope to get the prices and all back before the 20th, thats when I will be starting my interior painting, if prices come in under $100 ill go this route rather than wasting time on painting. thanks for the effort on this!

[AnderbrA]

we'll try....as soon as they get oldsmans and my pieces we will get a quote...

[-Alero-]

what about if you wanna include other pieces like the rear speaker housing, or the little cup holder for the rear passengers (from the center console on a 4 door) or any other small plastic pieces, because i know plenty i'd like dipped but i dont know thier names

[AnderbrA]

they can do them all, i just wouldnt know the exact cost...

im sure you could send them all in and they would just bill you accordingly.

[-Alero-]

^ ok sweet, i got alot of pieces that would need to be dipped. does it matter about size?

[AnderbrA]

i dont think so, what pieces were you thinking?

[-Alero-]

i wish i knew the names of the pieces but i know where they are.

[AnderbrA]

i was thinking of doing the pillars front and back, and the large dash piece were the defrost goes....etc

[-Alero-]

i was kinda thinking my gauge bezels for my faze gauges, the vent knobs, maybe some poop from the HVAC, uhhh these little oval pieces under the doors on the back 2 doors (4 door) and my speaker housing for the 6x9's and the cup holder for the rear passengers, and yeah thats all i can think of for misc. stuff besides all the other bezel poop

[AnderbrA]

lol...lots of poop....they can pretty much do any 3d surface.

[Mr_White]

are those the only patterns that they offer??????

[FormulaNERD]

[AnderbrA]

they can do any piece of anything really....just will cost differently....

[AGT]

[Eh_nigma]

As far as I know, AnderbrA's and Oldsmans parts are going there (or already there) and we're all waiting to find out what the most accurate quote is for this project.

[AnderbrA]
