Hey Guys/Gals
For the last year or two, I have been waiting patiently for the Invader Style hood to come out for our cars. No more waiting!!!!

I have called VIS Racing Sports a very well know brand name, and spoke to an associate named Andy, who has been very informative about us getting what we want.

VIS is willing to manufacture the Invader Style hood but we need is 14 additional people (thats it) to come up with $450 + shipping (Andy said of an average of $110-$140 shipping charge) to start producing the hood.
I have already opened an account with VIS for the hood,

The account name is "Group Buy Celica CF Invader Hood 94-99"

REFUNDS ARE APPLICABLE IF THE GROUP BUY DOES NOT MEET THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF PEOPLE IN (90) DAYS .

VIS indicated to make payments with money orders only, and must be committed, there will be refunds if all 14 people are not met.

So here are the instructions
1. Call VIS at 1.626.573.8383 and ask for Andy

2. Tell Andy you want to participate in the "Group Buy Celica CF Invader Hood 94-99" and ask for shipping Charge and Total amount ( should be between $560 - $600 including shipping) depending where you live.

3. Mail in the Money Order to
VIS Racing Sports
400 East Garvey Avenue
Monterey Park, CA 91755

and include
"Group Buy Celica CF Invader Hood 94-99"
ATT: Andy
Name
Address
Phone Number


Please email me at ljmolina@hotmail.com for those who are interested and/or post here so everyone would know how many we need left to produce this hood.

Thanks Again everyone.

Here is a picture of an example what it looks like

Can you post a pic so I can see what an invader style hood looks like? Im just want to see, im getting a gt4 hood and bumper >>

I just posted a picture to show an example what the hood looks like.

That looks pretty good I wouldnt mine having something like that

boner, I'll give him a call, I've been waiting for one of those

Umm.. i'd love to have one of those, but I dont want to send 600$ to something that may possibly not get done and then never get the money back. If we get 10 people, they just made a 6000$ off of us.

That hood looks pretty cool, but it's a big risk if we can't get all the people together, and I'd rather have the TRD-styled one that we only need two more people for. >>

I know that was my main concern too, but it looks like alot of you are interested, let me call Andy Monday morning and see if I can convinced them to drop the commitment thing..... doesnt hurt to ask.

I see the reason on doing it that way, because there will be people that pay and ask for refund, and then pay and ask for refund.....etc.

Yes, its a lot of money, but I took the risk, hoping there are at least 14 others out of the 10,000's celica owners.

Look at it this way, all that responded to the topic are interested, 5-6 sounded very interested and if thiose 5-6 paid already ...we would only need 9 - 8 left.....not only that with the other 130+ that viewed on the topic and sees that 5-6 already paid that would get better chances on getting the additional people we need and enjoy our hoods even faster.

That reminds me, for those who paid already please post here to show that you have done so. I will Call Andy every Friday to get an update count and will post here to keep everyone informed.

so, if I give my money to the guys at vis, and the deal dosen't go through, I lose all of my money?

GOOD NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!

REFUNDS WILL BE APPLICABLE IF THE 14 DOWN-PAYMENTS ARE NOT MET.

YOU WILL NOT LOSE ANYTHINGI spoke with Andy and he will provide refunds if all 14 people are not met, but he gave us a time limit of 90 days (3 months) or he will cancel the account and refund everyone that invested.

This SHOULD relieve alot of poeples worries especially mine.!!!

Also, its now 13, one guy walked in to VIS and mentioned this forum and put down the cash, because REFUNDS APPLY if not met

Did I mentioned refunds apply!! >>


13 MORE TO GO!!!!

you can count me in on the hood

http://celica.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?u...c;f=29;t=004628


its available, possibly we can get a group buy, but we dont have to wait

We are almost one month down and back up to 14 people needed. Very dissapointed >> We should have seen at least 5 payments made.

If I dont see any results in the next month ahead< i have no choice to cancel, the group buy.
