Group Buy: "Celica" Billet Battery Box - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #31537 67 posts Started by djultimate
for that price they should include a optima battery!
I want one too! But uh if you could reduce the price that would be great. Cause I'm supporting 2 celica's at the moment... *sigh

It's not really that bad a price it looks quality. pretty good gig, he can mass produce the frame and make the top plate car specific so everyone wins. I would make sure they are anodized otherwise they will oxidize
and look really dull.

JDM guy made me do it.
i think we should still try hardest to get a cheaper price. i would be willing to pay te 110 but i would be more than happy to get cheaper. Maybe someone shoujld talk to him and ask him if he could lower the price we could get even more people willing to buy.

I gotz 2 things my celi and a dream, the prob is commin up with the thrid one...

djultimate, make sure that the person machining it knows that our celicas need the terminals above the Celica/Supra writing. Otherwise the only way I see this fitting in the engine bay without extending the battery cables would be to install it having the Celica writing upside down.


I sent him an email and told him to flip the writing (good call!)

I'm sure we will be able to get the price down around $100 but only if we generate enough interest.

So far it's
1. djultimate
2. celicaST
3. defgeph
4. anubis0108
5. toyotatech
6. playr158
7. My2Celi
8. nik
9. Valo666
10.

I'll update the list as needed

We should shoot for about 20 or 25 of them in order to get them down to $100. But we need at least 10 orders to get them for $110.

ok guys... good news and bad news, and good news again.

The good news is that I got design proofs. The bad news is that they are not exactly what I requested. She used the actual Celica text. The designs are actually kinda cool. They are all very similar with slight differences. BUT more good news... they are gonna redesign it the way we asked (i sent them a pic of the badge) and send us proofs of those also. So here is what we have so far. (the pics are of the image on the computer screen) apparently they didnt know about the Print Screen feature, lol

I like One and Two personally

id go with #4 out of those because i prefer the way celica is written on that one opposed to others. cursive celica clean across just like the supras, im not a fan of the excess metal.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
yea def. with 4. I think the cursive celi would look better. The supra one looks cool, the cursive celica if it was made like the supra one would look sweet. If you get a proof/go with the cursive celica design, ill be in.

That's what I requested from them in the first place but apparently they misunderstood me. They are working on that design for us as we speak.

i'd say 80-100$ including shipping would be fair...
as long as it looks 90% like the supra one just saying celica cause those proofs look like booty...and i'm talking giggly jelly roll booty....not a nice pretty one

yeah, I know... the more i look at those pics, the more i hate them, LOL

The designer emailed me today saying they have been really backed up and won't get the design done til after the new year frown.gif

BUT IT IS COMING SOON!!! smile.gif Once the new design is done i will ask that this thread be deleted and we'll start another one showing the actual product we are buying and a list of people interested and none of this other mumbo jumbo that I keep yapping about.
