Lancer + Ralliart Vlip Group Buy
The price is the price. If you do not like the price, sorry I cant help you further. Since people consistently say they are going to buy it and disapear when it comes to paying, I am forced to go with conservative price projections. Why? Cost of the unit is not in question. The fact that it is shipping half way around the world makes things super tricky.
Pricing will be posted in the next few hours, just making a few calls to singapore (9:51am)

Just a heads up, i had this Vlip on my car during the summer and its a good idea to get it painted.
The lip started to change a purple, white colour from the rain / road / and car washes. I think the plastic doesnt take well to wax.

(LANCER LIP ONLY)
I say this in general not as a rant or targeting it at anyone specifically. But 180 dollars for a VLIP (of just the lip itself is a crazy good price) we are not going to be seeing much of a discount off the price. The problem that everyone faces is that almost the majority of the cost is taxes + shipping. let me give you guys the break down so everyone understands.
Assuming you go solo and buy it on your own straight from ebay.
$180 for the Lancer Vlip - constructed of Urethane, NOT FIBERGLASS. huge difference, once is durable and can take abuse the other has a glass jaw.
+
150 DHL shipping. The lip is traveling from Singapore/Malay, half way around the world within 3 to 5 business days. For the price and the size of the lip, thats pretty damn good.
+
13%duty + (6%duty in some cases)
+Broker charge
Where will the cost savings come from. Shipping. If the order is huge in to the 6 - 10 range, there will be a dramatic drop in shipping. the cost per unit may drop to about 80 bucks per piece shipping. give or take.
If two to 3people buy, your likely going to save about 30 dollars on the total amount.
so about $380 (US) - 30 dollars in combined shipping via DHL = 350 TOTAL.
Lips will be delivered to one place and we meet up and then everyone gets their stuff. Simple as that.
if everyone is down with this! AND YOU HAVE.....
PAYPAL $357 US DOLLARS( %1.9 if you pay via paypal )
OR
CASH $350 US Dollars
for every person added it reduces the price by about $10 until we get to the 6 - 10 category.
These numbers are conservative because I have gone thru this before and when things happen people bail or there are unforeseen things, I end up taking a loss. I am the one declaring this material and am ultimately responsible. The benefit of doing it my way is that I can ensure there are no quality issues as the item arrives, if there is one, then I can deal with Rick Personally to resolve them.
1. SmokeyLancer (Lancer GTS)
2. John A. (Lancer GTS)
3. Slyy (Ralliart, 250 dollar version)
4. Dennis W. (Ralliart 180 version)
Deadline for this buy is next Wednesday OCT 6

The soap / wax they use at car washes affected mine also if you plan to plastidip the lip you will need to prep the area with a light sanding. The plastidip just peels off if you dont.

ok I talked to Scorpion Body Kits the other day, FOR THE RALLIART GUYS, what style of lip does everyone want. There is cost differences between the two styles.
