    i'm adding a rule to group buys. if a person says they are going to buy something and a person orders one for them, if the person backs out and doesnt pay AND doesnt find someone to take their product. you will be banned, plain and simple.

    I would place the order myself, but I'm so broke it's not even funny. Also, I'm leaving tomorrow AM for California and won't be back until Tuesday. I've got the money for the lights and the horns set aside, but that's about it. What we need is for everyone to post what they want to order. That way we can get an idea of the total needed for each person. If that can be sent to one of us via Paypal, check etc we can do it. Unless someone has a better idea...this is my first time doing one of these.

    I'd be willing to make the purchase for the group buy. But this is getting crazy, we need to set a deadline and just do it! Should we start a new thread?

    For those Impreza older than 02, I'm sure that we could rig these lights up to make em fit.

    Alright, I'll send a PM to everyone in the list on Monday night when I get back from California. Turboturtle, if you're still willing I'll have everyone PM you and let you know what they want. We should also figure out how we want to get everyone their parts. I'm willling to send stuff UPS out of our shipping dept, I'll check with Joe once I know how many need their stuff shipped.

    Looks good for me, I'll call Wil tomorrow and let him know you'll be calling on Wednesday. Also, where do we want to ship these? And finally, how would you like me to pay you back?

    I've sent PM's to the other people in the group buy letting them know things are going ahead and to let you know if they want anything else. Thanks again Dan, you rock!

    ^ I'll get em shipped to my home address because it will be easier with the credit card that way. I'll bring em to Firestone when I get them, hopefully by next Friday and I'll bring the rest to BP subaru if that works for you.

    People on the list - when I get the total, I'll divide it equally and you can PayPal me or write a check or give cash. More details to come when I make the order.

    Hey Martin, I've heard that the India made horns don't sound that great and the quality isn't up to par with the others. I've seen a few posts on Nasioc and I-club about them.

    The order has been placed!
    Wow! :shock: Will really is a nice guy!!! He wanted to know about who we were and such and he was really happy to hear that MNsubaru.com choose Susquehanna Motorsports (rallylights.com) to make the group buy. In fact, he was so happy to serve our needs, that he wants everyone at MNsubaru.com to enjoy the super 10% discount at any time!!! He asked me to start a new thread to let everyone know that the 10% discount for MNsubaru.com members is permanent! And better yet, the 10% discount works on specials or already discounted items... anything they sell!!!

    More good news! The FF1000 WRX kit was on sale! The kit includes two lamps with the bulbs, mounting kit, wires, covers, etc (as stated in original post). With the discount, before shipping, the FF1000 kit was $94.37, not $125 as orginally stated!!! They have to package and weigh everything first before they can tell me exactly what the shipping charges will be. But since we combined everything, with the discount, we saved $115.78 before shipping! So I will know the shipping charges in a couple of hours, they have to call me back.

    Until then, cheers! [​IMG]

    Everything got shipped today, so it is possible that we will receive everything this weekend. It is more likely that we will receive on Monday. Stay tuned for updates!

    GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS:

    The good: I received the shipment today. Also two Hella decals were included for everyone for FREE. 8) See Pics below.

    The bad: They only shipped 6 FF1000 units rather than 7. Received all the horns and everything else.

    I got a hold of Wil and he's going to send out the 7th unit. Hopefully I'll have it next week sometime. If there is someone willing to wait for thier fogs, it would be greatly appreciated. There is a free Hella t-shirt coming with #7.

    Thanks Kelly for volunteering! You rock! :eek:

    Unforntunately, I can't make it to the ice race :cry: as I am moving to Connecticut very soon. But I have to get to Colorado and back and then drive out to CT. Which is approx 3500 miles within the next two weeks. That's why I can't wait for the fogs as I will be driving at night a lot.

    I'll get unit #7 to BP subaru so someone can bring them to you in Orr. Unless someone wants to stop by my house in Bloomington to pick them up when they arrive.

    Ok so there was a miss communication between Wil and I. The $93.74 price quote was for an FF1000 kit, but without the WRX mouting bracket. I didn't get the invoice until today. Sorry to get everyone over excited.

    The shipping charges were expensive because, in a general way, these things are big and heavy. The fogs are pretty light because of the cast mag case. But wow, those horns are really heavy. It had to be shipped in two boxes as they maxed out the weight/size limit. The total package weight was 67 lbs! :shock: I will inform everyone about the individual prices soon.

    So we still need the WRX brackets? Shouldn't be a problem, we can either order them or we can figure out a way to make some.

    Ok folks, here's the payment info. I will PM everyone with their total. The total will include shipping and everything. You can write me a check or give cash. I also love PayPal, but they rob you a few bucks from the transaction.

    PayPal me at [email protected]

    Everything will be at BP Subaru tomorrow so you don't have to wait. If you would like to pickup from my place here in Bloomington, PM me and I will hang onto it. Also we can bring it to Firestone on Friday. If you don't have the money right away, that's fine. You can pick it up and pay later. If we have an install day before this Friday, I will have everything so everyone doesn't have to make a trip to BP Subaru.

    ^ I'll meet up with anyone before Friday in the Twin City area. What we really should do is schedule an install day. We can have it at my place, but the garage is not heated. :sad: Anyone have a nice warm place for an install day before Friday? Maybe we should ask Jeff.

    Once again, the great and wonderful almightly Jeff has offered his heated garage for us to use. We can have it any day before saturday all morning until 3PM.

    Folks, please chime in on this so we can let Jeff know when we'll be at his place. I vote for Thursday or Friday.

    I just installed the horns tonight, just a quick install without using the supplied relay. We're out of wire at the shop, so there will be a more complete install later. However, I did get a chance to try them out this way. HOLY CRAP. My skull actually vibrated. I almost feel sorry for the first SOB they get used on. As far as the lights, I'm still debating how to mount them. I might actually get a rally light bar and go that route, since it'd be easier to aim and mount them, but we'll see. Thanks again to Dan for doing this for us.

    Also, I've got the stuff at the dealership. Those of you who want it shipped, let me know and I'll get it UPS'd out. For those of you who want to pick it up at Firestone, I need a volunteer to pick the stuff up and bring it to the crew as I won't be able to make it this Friday. Thanks!

    Yes that's right folks! Everything is at BP Subaru now.

    Aiming the fogs may be a PITA. I have yet to try it and find out. One of the adjustments for aiming is behind the light. So once it's mounted, you can't change that. But with the mounting bracket, small changes can be made while it's mounted in the fog well. I'll give the installation process a whirl tomorrow.

    I don't mind going up north. I have to go up that way to get you money and get me mud flaps. So if you're willing to meet somewhere else, let's do it! Justin?
