Can you send pics of the 2 types you referring too?
the link you posted in the first style (ABS plastic) the link I posted next to yours is the Aluminum style

Just waiting on Pics of the black with silver 86 engraved.

Once we have confirmation of style, price, shipping costs, we can confirm who wants and how payments can be made.
i dont have black w/ silver engraving pics unfortunately.

i will start the list from here. i will need 10 confirmed orders for my to do this group buy.

again shipping cost is $20 for 10 orders of ABS style an $35 for 10 orders of Aluminum

one the list is complete i will post this item on my website with a special pricing to SA and everyone can order and pay

Can those who want, please confirm your order, to verify we have 10 buyers.
Each person would pay $58.50, estimated R518.00

Can this be paid through Pay Pal?

$55 you have advertised in US includes free shipping to 48 states, surely we get a better price due to us in Africa paying for the shipping costs?

It is listed as $55 + shipping on the original US thread.

These can be ordered and purchase at my website using credit cards. (visa mastercard)

don't you guys think that we would be able to get this made cheaper locally. especially if we do a group buy. we have some talented metalworkers and engravers around SA? Just a thought.

For us in SA this is a very expensive order for this piece and agree we could get done far cheaper here, so I hope ZN86 would not have a issue if we replicated?

I was hoping to find a carbon looking one with 86 in red.

I am sure he would respect our decision to source cheaper locally. It would have been a different story replicating a spoiler or similar specialized product but engraving the logo of the car you own on a metal plate is surely not copyrighted?

Don't get me wrong I would gladly support these guys and their products look awesome but it is just a bit expensive. Also the idea would not be to take this idea and start selling it on. That will be frowned upon. To each get one for ourselves @+-R200 rather than +-R600 just makes sense.

@ZN86 : I trust you would understand should we wish to follow this route.
We will still keep an eye on your products and if the price is right you'll surely have some orders coming your way. That said there might even be guys here that would not mind paying your price rather than source it locally.

Anyone willing to investigate local prices? We might not be able to find it much cheaper and still go with ZN86.

Hmmm, don't want to step on any toes. Might be something I do in my personal capacity. If TMC does not like it I can just remove it. I can understand the reason for a lawsuit if I start making in bulk and selling on without permission, but surely they would not attack their fans and followers. If I decide to make myself a Toyota 86 mouse pad would they sue me for that as well? It's a bit of a grey area I suppose.

The issue here for us in SA, is our rand is x10 to your dollar, so the part just becomes far too expensive for us to import. If you could come in around $20 to $30 I am sure you will have support.
