Gauging interest: Spirit R and RZ reps with tilt rails

So I've been speaking with Angry Panda Factory and they are willing to work out a discounted rate for a group buy of 10 or more. My question is: how much interest, and what would you pay? If you haven't seen em:

Let's get 10-15 down and see what we can get!!!

I'm interested, and since you are in communication with him could you ask him for pics of the leather option he offers? In black?

I don't believe you are the first to try and make this exact same deal happen. Search around a bit and I'm sure you will fond something.

I wrote them an email about a locked in shipped price for 10 or more as well as the Leather. I'm hoping I can get at least 5 to 6 people on a list today to indicate how serious we are to get this done.

So far:
  1. Atx-rx
  2. Andre The Giant
  3. FDjonny
  4. Neo

Hope we get a few more to chime in.

So the price they have given me is $1,999 shipped for a group by of 10. More sets, greater discount.

Thoughts? Comments? Let's see em. My personal opinion- I'm in. Normally, total shipped is 3100 AU which is about 2,400USD at the normal price...

Interested in this as well. When you say 10 do you mean 10 seats or 10 pairs? Also is $1,999 the price for 1 or a pair?

I'm definitely interested in a pair. Does that count as two?

The seats are sold as a pair/set, with the tilt rails. Each person who pays the $1999 will get a pair in their choice of Spirit R or RZ seats shipped to their door in 2 weeks from the time of placing the order.

i am interested if:

- shipping to germany is not too expensive
- the problems with the tilt rails and the stock seat belt buckle has been fixed
- there will be no problems with the "recaro" (trademark) stitching on the customs duty office.
