We did a professional photo shoot yesterday of our MINI products, and here's a sample of what the products look like. The image has only been resized and watermarked. We will have pictures on MightyMiniZ's car as soon as we can arrange a date, and several customers have told us they will be taking pictures that we can use.

Soon to come: Rear Wing, Interior, Sunroof, Rear Handle (Thanks to Hank), and POSSIBLY a hood. We just toured the largest autoclave on the west coast (here in San Diego) to see if we can rent it to do large panels.

Regards,

4th of July sale? If we can get a group of people together who are interested, we can do a special 4th of July group buy at a deep discount. Note, we're already running a special on this board until the end of the month! Deal till the end of the month. Ignore crappy pictures!

Here's a small picture of the very first silver one we took out of the mold. The finished article is of much higher quality, but this should give you an idea of what it looks like. Everything we do can be done in this silver.



Regards,

-Dan

So I could install it, and if it dont like it I can put the stock back on and send you back the silver one for a full refund? Hmmmm

Deep discount? I am sure their are others on the form that like the Deep!

I'm in, lets see how many others we can get.

D'oh! If I learned to read I'd already know the answer - sorry.

These covers simply stick over your existing mirrors with hi-tack low profile tape which is already applied to the inside of the covers (Just peel and stick).

CooperSpeed: As an obviously unbiased message board participant, I'm sure you'll find our pricing very reasonable.

The quality of the BFP products is outstanding! It took less than five minutes to install my CF intake scoop. Can't wait to get my other goodies from them.

Nice contract with the Chili Red. Now you just need to get a CF grille so they match.....

The CF scoop is sweet! Would truely love to have one on my DS/B MCS with Front AERO fascia. However, at $299 or even $239 that's a little steep for me. At $200 or less I'd be ordering immediately. I realize CF is not east to work with and quality plays a major role. If there is a group buy opportunity at a "deeper" discount put me on the list as one of the first contact.

I was going to write some cheezy line about the 4th of July and how our CF is made in the USA, but that would detract from what the 4th celebrates...

In short: We're going to take the suggestion of another MCO member and do a sweet 4th of July sale. We will structure it as a group buy and round people up for the purchase(s). If enough people sign up, the price of the scoops could very well go to $200.00. Just so you guys know, as soon as we finalize our resale agreements, we won't be able to do stuff like this anymore, so this may be our only group buy for our products....

We're going to huddle this weekend and come up with a group buy pricing structure, which you should look for by Monday. I'd like to think Hank, Doug (MightyMiniZ), and others for your valuable input.

I bought a 2nd scoop, painted it black and installed it on my yellow/black MCS. Looks very cool IMHO. Not quite as professional looking as I would have liked, but pretty good. I'll post a pic one of these days.
