Coooooool!!! So far we have three of the five needed for a group buy order.

PM with shipping info requested.

Tks,

Sean

How much lighter are these than sheridan lids?

Don't think I can justify that. Damn. Hope you get other commits.

650 a lid is just too high for me - for CF. Please understand I am aware of the quality and the low production numbers are fully justifiable. If Getty would give a good deal for F/G lids (same $$$ discount as the CRF ones)I will step up in a heartbeat - and I feel/hope a few others would as well..

It looks like there are a few others interested in F/G -

Let Getty know he has at least one guy and possibly more for a good deal with F/G and I will personally on my car add his business name to the body paint of the car in my "made possible by:" area, and let everybody know where I got the lids from....

Without a weight number, it'll be a hard sell for me.

Front: 16 lbs. (stock is 35 lbs)
Rear: 15 lbs.

See this thread.

I just spoke to Neil at Getty...Great Guy!

He's quite flexible with us (914 world) and we are GTG at 4 people for CF as he knows another discerning enthusiast will fall in line soon...also the FG (poverty model) will also add up for some orders...Getty also appreciates the good words brought forth by the "World" faithful....

If you are going to paint your lid(s) mention it to Neil as he will use a more stable white opaque resin rather than the clear stuff which may help 4 -5 years down the road.

Just call Neil tell him you are part of the group buy on 914 World and you are GTG...I'm ordering mine this week.

I guess your call explains why he hasn't answered my email. I informed him of concerns from prior group buy members about UV protection and asked if the headlights could be deleted. I also asked about the fiberglass buy... He must think wooby and I are the same person. Cool. Now all we need to know is if they can eliminate the headlights. Thanks...

Naw, I don't think so....
I just phoned him today before lunch (EST)...He knows I am someone different...

Very accomodating though...I mentioned the FG guys...he skipped over it.....the current 4 CF guys can just call him with your credit card (unless you are not in the USA like me)...

Hey Woooob,

By 'skipped' over the FG guys you mean no dealy on them?? Curious for sure am I...

J

Me too.

Neil basically said if we do the leg work...he comes to the party...

Soooooooo if you want FG lids, get yerself a posse then give Neil a call...I think he is reasonable...he likes us "914 guys" although I'm sure he realizes we are the bottom feeders of the Porsche universe and he will make more $ on one GT3 kit than any group buy we come up with.....

Really take names then go kick ass and....call Neil!

Oh and the "headlightless" guys will have to call him too. Neil takes alot of pride in his product and I'm not sure he can just whip another product up for limited sales....but it costs nothing to ask him.

I just ordered a rear CF lid from Neil
I asked about the "cut-out-less" front lids and he said that he knows that there is an intrest but is to busy with the 997 parts to develop a new 914 part.
Hopefully by the time my car is ready for paint he will have designed one. Hear that Neil? You have about a year, start filling those headlight holes!

Just talked with Mark I am in on the group buy. Thanks for the great negotiation

Way to go Larry!!!
