Group Purchase of Stowable Dodge Viper Hardtop

[silverten]

Hi, It is time again to see if we can get a group discount on the 3 piece stowable hardtop from AP Engineering. I am one. Who else would like to get on a list? I know that AP Engineering would love to get a group of us on this list to buy his top not only to have but to help advertise for selling of more tops. Nothing beats word of mouth advertising. Well maybe actually driving my Viper around with the top on it! I hope he can help us poor Viper owners that cannot afford the over $3000 that it takes to get it painted and buy the $200 bags. So I am trying again. Lets see how many people we can get and see what kind of deal that AP Engineering will do for us Viper owners. Thanks

im interested, but now isnt the right time for me. I'll PM you when I can afford even a discounted price (lol) if you're still trying to get a group buy together

 

[RikRok]

I also am a recent buyer, but I don't think that you will see a group buy discount. I don't think Jeff has the facilities to mass produce these to make it feasible to deep discount them.

 

[V10SpeedLuvr]

Jeff has said a couple times that he isnt in the position to offer a discount on the top. The profit margin on them arent very high to begin with

 

[Viper Scot]

I'd be interested as I'm in the market for one right now.

 

[Jeff Lemke]

First off, thanks for all of your interest in the top.

Right now is not the time for a group buy. As stated by Speedluvr, they are a difficult build and I am still several orders behind right now. However, I am starting to catch up and I am not opposed to the group idea. It may be possible to do this in about 6-8 weeks or so.

Five orders would be a good start to save a few hundred bucks. I'll have to figure out the max I can go.

I would like one but I would need the seat lowered more than the two inches it already is.

 

[Viper Scot]

The loss of head-room may be an issue for me too. How much do you lose relative to the stock hard-top? I've already got the seat lowered as far as it can be.

The stowable top is almost identical to the headroom of the soft top.

I've never had a soft top on my car - how does it compare for headroom to the hard top?

 

[Jeff Lemke]

Definately lower. I'd say at least 2 inches (from memory).

If this is still a go, I will buy one.

What do I need to do to get in on this?

I just wanted to say that I received my one piece, no scoop, top from Jeff.
Very nice, just what I wanted.
It makes the car look so much better.

What is the status of this group buy?
