On second thought I think we've all waited long enough, so here it is, but first a little background info.
When I first approached Al and Erica I wasn't even sure that we could get a dozen guys together, and Al wouldn't give me an idea of a price until he was sure that we were for real, thus the list with all our info that he asked for. We quickly tripled the amount of names on that list and Al knew saw that we really were serious.
I was thinking of a discount of 25% but quickly realized that was never going to happen. 25% off of the actual price of the TMs is between $170.00 and $200.00 per set, depending on which set you need, and I knew they would never go for that. I set my sights a little lower and asked for 20% off instead. That's when the communication suddenly slowed down. I think I might have offended them. Al countered at 10%, saying there was NO WAY he could possibly go any lower. I then fought for 15% and we haggled back and forth for a few days. We ended up settling somewhere in between at $80.00 off per set/per member. BUT if we actually come through and place 30 orders, Al will bump that up to $100.00 off per set. If that number goes up enough, he will take off even more.
So what do you guys think? Any deal is better than none, and I'd rather the 80 bucks in my pocket than somebody else's. It's the best I could do and I hope everybody will be satisfied.
Let me know, and if everybody is still interested I will tell you how to place your orders. By the way, there are already a few sets in stock for you guys who are in a rush. And no payment will go through on your credit cards for the next 3 weeks, even if you order tomorrow. Al and I will keep track of the number of orders given to see if we earn the $100.00 discount, instead of $80.00. And don't forget, you don't have to pay everything up front, only 50% then the balance upon shipment. Time from the day you order to shipment is generally 3 weeks.
Again, make sure you contact me before you order so I can explain the process.
Thanks for your patience boys.

Alright, that's a good enough discount for me. Can I sign up for a rush, in stock set? Bodywork on the Ex is juuuuuust about finished, and it's going back on the frame as soon as I get my suspension parts in. So I'll need these within the next two weeks, three tops.

To place your orders you can call Al or Erica at 714-630-1833 or email them at alsheaders@att.net, and be sure to include any pertinent information concerning your truck...build date, Ranger swap etc.
Believe me, I don't want to get caught up in the middle of the ordering. I'll let you guys fight it out as to who will be the first few to grab the in stock headers.
*The important thing is that you confirm with me once your order has been placed. That way I can assign you a number, like "buyer #1" for example, so that Al and I can keep track of how many orders are given, and to make sure that only forum members are getting the discount.
Good luck guys, and keep me in the loop. Sorry I couldn't have brought the price down even more. I am definitely going to call Al back tomorrow though and see if we can get a break on the shipping too.

Just placed my order! Thanks a bunch for taking your time to wheel and deal with Al for us Skurz. I really appreciate your efforts getting this group buy together. Now hopefully everyone who wanted one orders one so we can get another twenty bucks off!

Damn, well I don't have the money quite yet, but the deal seems pretty solid. Is there a timeline when we have to order? Because I am not ordering until I know I will have the money for them.
