No I just threw 5 out there as a number. What I was saying is my manufacturer wont go out and produce 30 just because I say so (even if we think they will sell) They will produce say 5 and once they sell make more. If I take deposits I would start a list and everyone on that list with a deposit would get a lip on the first batch. This allows the manufacturer to make as many as we need and maybe a couple additional ones.
I'll use my hoods as an example, I had about 6-7 coming in and they all sold out before they arrived (preorders) well I had people not wanting to preorder and figured they would wait and hope they didnt all sell out. Now once they sold out, they were stuck waiting another 3-4 weeks minimum for new hoods to arrive. Which is why preordering is always the best bet, if you dont mind waiting

I would say 3 months to be safe, I would push to get them done asap, but the way these guys work there is no guarantee. They have so many projects going on that they gotta go in order, however I have told them I would like these asap and they are willing to work with me on them to get them done quickly. If I could get them a bunch or preorders im sure I can get them moved ahead of some other projects they might have going on We have about 4-5 guys so far willing to preorder, if I can get say 10 or so i'll start a new GB and a list. Thanks guys.

Im going to e-mail my manufacturer and see what kind of response I can get as far as turnaround time for these, I will get my pricing set and I will start a GB. I will start a new thread and link it here. Im hoping within the next day or so to have it done, and hopefully new pix for the C&C lip as well.

Ok, they are almost done with making the C&C thinner. They will get me pix asap. Turnaround time is 3-4 months, it's a long process unfortunately. I always push to get these done asap, but I can't control it. I will start a gb later with pricing etc for those interested in preordering.

^ Yeah their staying, if you look at the original C&C it has the same thing. They wont be as noticeable when painted or in carbon (if your car is dark)
