SUPER MADE **Group Buy**

[nismoWhore]

is everthing going to you first? then out to us or straight to us from japan?

[fast93]

is instant gent the only ones that make those headlights? cuz the one on the black 240 looks like its all one piece and not 2 pieces in that picture.

[Bubba]

OK I am sure someone has already broken this down for you but here it is again. The ones on the black 240 are the Super Made lights. When you put the lids on u can hardly tell they were 2 peice. (Unless you got right up on them) Drew doesn't bullshit you for a sale.

[boyou2]

i've sent you a PM

[nismoWhore]

any updates?

[MadScientist]

OK.. I know you guys are blind as to what is going on so I will try to explain... its simple really.

We recalculated the shipping cost which contained five
VIP-mufflers shipped by Yamato Logistics.
It is JPY375,000 yen. Three cartons.

This is a quote for shipping by Freight from Japan to USA... a Crate basically.
The difference is JPY125,000 yen / 5 exhaust = JPY25,000 yen each!

I also had them quote shipping on a single exhaust from Japan to the USA Via UPS (because its to big for normal EMS) - Super Made VIP muffler by UPS: JPY42,000 x 2 cartons each.

This is the math for EMS and UPS:

Maximum dimension of UPS
width + (height + depth) * 2 <= 330(cm)
width < 270(cm)
C/W(kg) = (width x height x depth)(cm) / 6000

Here is some more basic fun to figure out... We were including a few Extra goods like the New URAS Erobon Type 2... this is how they calculate.

Carton of 2 Type2 Erobon is 110x15x90(cm). C/W is 25kg.
*2 URAS Type2 Erobon ... UPS: JPY29,000

Although the price is the same for type1 and type2... the shipping is very very different, and causes the type 2 to be much more expensive.... about $150+ to be exact.

What does this have to do with the Super Made Group Buy??
Well it looks like I will be refunding all the VIP Exhaust Orders this week.
Also the 4 Gentleman wings ... UPS: JPY42,020... so we will be taking a loss and price will have to be increased on website.

Everything else seems to be great as far as cost and shipping becuse they are smaller items and easy to consolidate... The above is why we have stopped doing Sea Feight for larger items as well... its not cost effective unless in extremes.

So Yes... it has taken basically over 1 month to get shipping cost and estimates that are somewhat reasonable for the rest of the shipment.
I greatly oppologise to everyone for the inconvience and I will be processing this ASAP now.

* I will be looking at alternative shiping methods on my own time when no time constraints are present.
** ONLY Customers that Ordered the Super Made VIP Exhaust I and Offering the Buddy Club Spec II for $400 shipped to make this up to you!! Let me know...

Peace
Drew

[amplifi3d]

is there a way i can pay extra to compensate for shipping and still get the 2 instant gentleman exhausts I ordered? I run an import shop over in Hawaii and I know how shitty shipping can be. I'm pretty sure people who ordered the exhausts would be willing to pay alittle more to help you out.

Thanks!

[bryce with a y]

i know i was, but it would be roughy 400 bucks each exhaust in shippin....

[MadScientist]

Think about it logically... VIP Exhaust is $480 each + $420 shipping from Japan = $900... its not Titanium, ultra light weight, Race only, or worth it... I spent over $800 on my Kakimoto but thats not far off the normal price, and its Jasma Spec.

I didn't think shipping Exhaust would be an issue... we have done it in the past by EMS/ UPS (My Kakimoto, others URAS RS)... however I think this was mainly limied on size because of the Super Made Wings took alot of space... Japan also didn't want to consolidate the exhaust because the Tip is delicate.

I will do a Super Made Group Buy again after this shipment arrives... no exhaust... and limited # of Wings.

Mitzi took care of Refunding all Super Made VIP Exhaust orders last night!!

[mazdaRX7Galantvr4]

Would really like to receive parts ordered in January, sometime soon.

[FaLKoN240]

If anyone bought the checkered mats, I want to see pics.

[spectro]

Any idea when we are getting the GB stuff like the lens covers?

[MadScientist]

Money has been transfered to Japan.
Parts are being collected now.

This order does have alot of extra parts on it.

We got the shipping situation fixed... VIP Exhaust have been refunded.
Everything else is working.
Some of you guys have not paid... or responded to my e-mails.
Those of you with Floor Mats I have asked several time for you to send me Templates and have YET to recieve any!! I have tried getting some from Locals but oddly No-one has Floor Mats in their S13 or Hatch... SEND ME TEMPLATES FOR S13... ASAP! I will have to overnight the template to Japan to keep the order on time again!!

Peace
Drew

[Slidin240Wayz]

Drew,
Do you need templates for all four?

Carlos

[MadScientist]

Carlos,

Thank you... your the pimp. S13 only... I have S14. Just need the front set.
I went to Office Depot and got a Huge Easle Pad (27"x34") has about 50 sheets... forgot what it cost, but it was perfect size for mats. I did the S14 and Z33 templates already.

For everyone crying over this taking so long... honestly I am sorry for the constant stupid little delays like this. This is common when dealing with new companies and new parts. Next time I will know ahead of time what to expect and what to offer.

Thank you
Drew

[Slidin240Wayz]

Drew,

I have to go to my friends house because he has an S13. Can I take a picture of them and have a white background and write down the measurements?

Or, is a template the only way? I would need to be reimbursed or discounted something because of the easel size paper and shipping. Just PM me on that issue.

I might just tape some sheets together and use a marker. LMK if that works as well.

Carlos

[bboyt3nsk]

I assume this means the Yashio Factory parts too...thanks for the update, I, and we appreciate it.

[MadScientist]

^^ Unfortunatly, Yes YF Group Buy is on the same shipment.

Carlos,
I will take care of you for helping... Need full template.

Peace
Drew

[Slidin240Wayz]

I will do the 9 pieces of paper taped together and use a sharpie for each mat. I will be at an event tonight so I will acquire it tonight and send it tomorrow in the AM!

Please PM me the address to send it to.

I will send USPS Overnight in support of RT and expediting everyones floor mats.

Carlos

[Slidin240Wayz]

Drew,
I have your template. I need an address.

Carlos

[MadScientist]

Carlos,

Rare Trick, LLC
P.O. Box 231218
Harahan, LA 70123

Thank you agian...
Peace

[Slidin240Wayz]

Drew,
There is an issue. I traced out the floor mats of an S13 Coupe, which cuts around the hump on the driver's side. I saw a picture of a Hatchback's driver's side mat that goes over the hump. What do you want me to do? I can also get the template of the one that goes over the hump, but I will not be able to send it out until tomorrow. Since I will send it express, it will still arrive to you on Saturday Morning at 10:00am.

Carlos

[MadScientist]

Do both please. I will call customers and see what they have... I will send both to Japan anyway so they will be on file for later.

Peace
Drew

[Slidin240Wayz]

Drew,
I will go tonight to my boy's house to get the other template.

Overnight will get there Saturday. Will this do any good or is it possible to send it to Japan Saturday morning, or will you have to wait until Monday?

Carlos

[Slidin240Wayz]

Drew, Drew, Drew,

I went to a party last night and I went to my friend's house around 2:00am and I found out that the floor mats were thrown out. I called another friend and setup to meet with him this morning at 9:00am. I arrive there and he has the cut-around-the-hump style. He told me to hold on a second and said he had another pair from his old car. It ended up being the same thing.

I have looked into coupes and hatches and they both have the same style. I have to check if it has anything to do with the year model. I will hold off on sending the templates out until I check a newer model S13's floor mats. Forgive me for the delay, I am on my 3rd S13 and still have the same result. Wish me well.

Carlos

[MadScientist]

I believe the Hump is normal for both because the S14 has the Hump also.
The only mats that may be slightly different is the S13 Vert because it has an extra brace near the foot well.

I'll hook you up on the shipping when your parts arrive or throw in some extra goodies.

Peace
Drew

[Slidin240Wayz]

Drew,
I will just ship you what I have right now. I checked with a friend with a 93 and he told me the same thing. I will send out the package right now; USPS Overnight.

Carlos
