We can source the part from Subaru and wrap a new set. We may even offer a core-swap/core-deposit, and at the very least we will offer a buy-back on factory parts. Please feel free to contact us directly via PM or email at sales[at]jpmcoachworks[dot]com if you have any additional questions. For all of our Northeastern friends and friends making the trip, we will be at the Wicked Big Meet next month as well! Quote:

Are the dash pieces going to have the option of being standard double dinn size or will that be a custom/extra cost?

Can someone please clarify this position? Out of all the prototype/one off photos, only Gen's item has that embroidering, so how did you guys come to the conclusion that this is what everyone wants? It is as though due to one high paying customer's request, it is now one size for all. Meanwhile since it is not done on an automated line, I don't see why not having the embroidering done (saves time) can cost more? It was an option that people asked to pay more for, it somehow turned into penalising the people who don't. |

The guinea pigs probably got an incentive in price for ..well...being the guinea pigs. Now JPM is willing to reduce the cost (basically giving you money) if you allow them to put a minor and (IMO) very tasteful logo of their company on the product. It all makes sense to me I'd probably get it with the JPM logo regardless of price difference. I think it prevents any "home made" look to it in the negative sense.

I get that you want the logo, each to their own. I see it as tacky and detracts from the discrete classy feel. The look I am going for is OEM+ with subtle minimalistic changes but noticeably upscaled materials, not a custom show piece look. All the above are opinions, likewise with your post. I was purely going by the actual cost involved and their decision to charge more for less work done. As for the comment of giving me money, fair they can reward the people that want it. But why penalise people that don't? |

Just another way of looking at it, I don't know all the semantics to say I'm right but I'm probably at least not dead ass wrong

Now that it is a production piece, with less time required to not have embroidering done, charging more and consequently penalising people. It isn't an issue to you because you are actually getting more, I just think it should be fair. Like you said, getting cheaper for logo, it doesn't have to be more expensive for none by making them the same price. Charging more means not only are the people not getting the cost benefit of the logo, but also getting hit with a fabricated cost. That is actually being penalised twice. |

It was in the quote of the post that I had quoted.
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...&postcount=101 Actually now that I think more about it, it sounds even more weird. Using your example, the item with the logo of 200 has a 50 dollar benefit, the item without the logo has to pay extra 50 dollars. What does this mean? It means people going for the item without the logo is actually paying for the embroidered logos for another customer. Not only are they paying more for something they don't want, they end up footing the bill for the extra cost involved for other people's item, something they don't even want for themselves.

Would you call Nike to remove all the Swooshes from your running shoes before you'd take delivery of them?

The difference is these products are based on forum member's requests. I like that they've catered for the people wanting logos. I don't think making others pay for someone else's embroidering is remotely close to being fair to the rest of the forum. In any case, they can do what they like because it is their product to sell. I just wanted clarification from them to justify paying for someone else's embroidering. |

btw, what happened to this?
Your setup is definitely the closest to what I actually want Only difference would be where the dash panel flows into the cluster, I would much rather for the seam and double side red stiching to flow into the same seam/double sided stitching of the cluster hood, which follows the original line of the dash panel, but that is just me |
