Carbon itself is very expensive!!

 

210, is pretty steep for a cover. I am waiting on the price for the grill. I have been looking for a nice grill but wont pay a arm and a leg to get one though.

 

I couldn't agree more! If this is a group deal what is the regular price?

 

Interested in the grille. What's the price?

 

So... what's an engine cover because I doubt your talking about spark plug cover you sell on your website for 120 bucks...

EDIT: Never mind.. I found it on your website... Look nice but I don't have 3.5

 

i wish i could, i got an essay due on monday. if i finish before sunday, ill be sure to meet up at the caravan

 

So you say, there are a vast array of mods that are simply cosmetic and $$$
Body kits in general arent too cheap, plus they require painting.
Spoilers are the same, any CF product that is custom made and not mass produced are goingto be a bit high.
In reality, the 210 isnt a bad price cionsidering the size of the cover.
If you think the 210.00 is expensive, you should be glad your not the one producing these items and paying to have the molds made, and then waiting to see if there is going to be a big market for it.

 

So true People don't understand the THOUSANDS it cost to get a product made and then hope and pray people will like it and buy it!!! shoot on the grille, I have THOUSANDS in the mesh alone!!! In serving this Maxima market we are serving a market that most other companies don't want to support because either it is not profitable for them, or the people complain about the prices of the products. When in actuality if more people bought products then the prices would drop. anyway.........


Carbon prices have risen and therefore prices of carbon pieces are going up across the board.

 

HAHA, Body kits can be seen all the time, there on the outside. How often do you drive with your hood up? Didnt think so. Anywho maybe sellers would sell more product if they werent outragesouly overpriced.It would take a bit longer to make profit but people might be more apt to buy the mod. My 2 cents on the matter.

 

So what your saying is your barely making a profit on your mods? If so then your in the wrong buisness! LOL J/K I know it doesnt cost no where near that much to make one.

 

No, but its a cosmetic mod.
If one has it under there hood, chances are they show it off more often then people without them.
I show my bay all the time, wether its a max meet or just a group of random guys and cars.
I currently have a CF plug cover/ MEVI cover and random other things that I like to show off.
If this isnt for you, dont post up.

 

Do you know why many people use carbon fiber products in the engine bay?

1. It looks good and you can show it off.
2. Carbon fiber conducts MUCH less heat.

Those 2 main reasons, not in particular order of importance, would make a person spend 220 bucks for a nicely crafted carbon fiber engine cover. I give props for people who spend money on things that doesn't have the bling factor just by looking at it.

And you are somewhat right on the price. Of course it's going to be costly for something that not too many people want but costs a lot of money to develope such item in the first place, i.e. tooling, mold, etc. (Also the fact there aren't 100 people selling the same thing on ebay yet) You would be surprised to know how much it would cost to make a simple piece of emblem like the Nissan logo when you first start off. I would know... I make GM parts for living.

 

where the money is spent is in creating a mold in the beginning. If molds were cheap, then everyone would be making products. Call a company and ask them to make you a eurethane body kit mold....15k, how about a fiber glass one.......5-7 k . you are talking about products that have to be created first and then a mold made of the one-off product.

 

............

 

To each his own. I just think that it is a lot of money for a group deal on something that is not viewable unless your parked with you hood up. Also our cover is not a bad looking one to begin with and it could be painted. Also I just hate it when a company states that they are not making a profit. This is not directed at RedMax personally at all. I just think more would be sold if it was a little cheaper.

 

I understand your point. I did not state that we were not making a profit. Is it Grossly huge? NOT. This is not that type of business. If I could sell them cheaper then I would. I know of 2 guys whos engine covers cost them over 600.00. To each his own. We have had plenty of orders of these covers because of their outstanding quality. My only issue with this thread is that if you don't like the price of something keep it to yourself or use PM. Sometimes whoring up a thread keeps others who are interested in the product away.

 

WOW that is nuts!


I agree with you. I did not mean to do that. So I am sorry if I did.

 

It's time for me to provide some light on the subject. I'm going to reply to some comments made on this thread.

and

Why does everyone think they are a business major? These covers are not "outrageously overpriced" do you have any idea how much material or labor goes into the creation of each part? Do you think that it's inexpensive to purchase CF, special purpose resins, peel-ply, release film, bag, purge valves and everything else that is needed and discarded for every cover that is made? Do you know how expensive the labor is? Have you ever taken into account manufacturing errors that cause a direct loss? I truly don't think so.

These covers are inexpensively priced to say the least. Two years ago some other forum members made some similar covers, they sold them for 180 shipped and the quality was sub-par. Here is a link to a post with pics of the GD thread: http://forums.maxima.org/showpost.ph...7&postcount=89 people loved them and I didn't see anyone complaining about the price back then.

In those two years that have passed the cost of CF and resins have skyrocketed. A bucket of ultra clear UV stabilized resin was only 67 dlls. Now it costs over $120. Back then a yard of 50" wide CF could be purchased for $14.50, now you're lucky if you can purchase a full roll at $36 per yard, and most vendors only deal in 100 yard rolls. Add to that the fact that prices keep rising every quarter or so.

Comments like the ones posted on this thread discourage potential buyers by making them think that they are going to be over charged. Posts like these should not be allowed in the GD forum, and should only be discussed in the maxima discussion forums, not in a thread where where a vendor is trying to promote and move a new product. I will make sure to bring this to the attention of the Org administrators.

Thanks!

 

I jus sent the paypal.

And to everyone else, its a group deal, if you have a problem take it to pm. Carbon fiber has been going up latly so thats why his price is what it is.

 

Jose, you should know by now that some of these org members expect everything to be dirt cheap, like Honda products but they fail to realize that the maxima market isnt as vast as the Honda market where there are over a hundred different vendors selling the same product, so they have to be dirt cheap just to compete in the market.
When items do get mass produced for the maxima, such as Alteezas, clear corners, etc. and the prices for them are fairly cheap resulting in many people buying them, they then are defined as "rice".

 

210 is pretty pricey, you might as well by a VIS Carbon FIber Hood!!!

 

From reading on here and other forums, VIS hoods are absolute crap, but so are most aftermarket "CF" hoods. Very few companies sell high quality hoods. But I agree, 210 is a bit high considering that only a little CF is used. Maybe if the price comes down, i'll buy it.

 

Where in the fawk can you buy a VIS CF hood for 210?
Where can you buy any brand of CF hood for 210?????

 

What Im saying is you might as well spend the extra to buy a VIS Carbon Fiber Hood.....

 

Maybe, but not for those who already have a carbon fiber hood and this could just add to the cf theme.

 

You're all whack. WTF if you have some personal things to say like... "might as well buy VIS hood" take it to the PMs. Who asked you what we should buy instead of the engine cover? You either buy the damn thing or you don't. The title of the thread does not say "what do you think about the price of the new engine covers."

Do you go into a group deal thread for shocks and springs and say "might as well buy coilovers instead"?... It's completely up to the person if they want to buy the damn thing or not.

 

He didn't ask any of your opinion in this thread. There are others in the 5th gen and general forums. Go ***** up those, not a GD

 

I always find it funny when people who spend money on things like DDEs, clear corners, expensive HEAVY wheels, etc complain about the price of "cosmetic" mods......if you're into cosmetic mods, 210 is a reasonable price for this engine cover. If you're into "all-go and no show" then it's proably not, since it doesn't make you faster.

Overall though, just STFU. If you don't like it, or don't want to pay 210 for it - here's an idea. DON'T BUY IT. But don't complain about the price just because you're a penny-pincher.

NismoMax - no idea what you're complaining about. You have a Stillen RSB (which is MUCH more $$ than an Addco/Cattman/Progress RSB that does the same thing). You have DDE's (which are cosmetic only). Shall I go on?

Other complainers - some of you have expensive aftermarket wheels that are BIG AND HEAVY - but you still pay money for them, even though they hurt your performance.

'nuff said.

 

I bought my stillen rsb for 140, but thanks. Anyways i was just giving my $.02
hoping maybe he can work out a better deal for those that are buying thats all.....
Hey i wasnt the only one, heck i was trying to help ya'll

 

First of all you do not need to be a business major to be a good judge of whether your getting over priced. If you are trying to sell your product there is no need to be a smart A%%. Redmax made a statement about this thread in a diplomatic way and I responded by apologizing and that I was only stating my opinion.


And second this forum is made for comments and opinions. If you want to sell your product and not get feedback from your buyers then don’t post it here and sell it on your website. Other then that if an org member wants to either state an opinion or fact and educate other buyers that a product is overpriced then one should be able to. I would want to be warned if that was the case. This is not directed at this sale specifically but is a general statement.

 

There's specific forum for such "feedbacks" and "warning others".

http://forums.maxima.org/forumdisplay.php?f=13

There's also specific forum for such "comments and opinions" about a vehicle specific items or concerns or questions.

http://forums.maxima.org/forumdisplay.php?f=26

I doubt the Group Deal forum was made for "comments and opinions and feedbacks". Last time I check it was made to show group deals and you either buy or you don't.

 

Then why are you giving yours?

 

Ok that's enough argueing in this thread thank you. Anymore of this in this thread who ever it may be will take a vacation. Thank you for visiting

 

Did you get my paypal?
