Interest: Alcantara Wrapped Steering wheel + Interior bits

RCZ · 12-03-2009, 11:25 AM

Hey Folks,

I'm currently in contact with JPM Coachworks, which some of you may remember did Bullitt's interior a while back. I was talking with Alex from JPM about doing a group buy for the370z.com and he said sure as long as there was enough interest.

EDIT: Here are Bullitt's pics.

Here are some other examples of their work for different cars.

They can do a lot more than just the steering wheel for those who are interested.

As far as pricing goes, this is what I got from Alex.

Quote:

MSRP on the steering wheels for the 370z guys is $395.00, and the options are identical to what I said in a previous message. The GB price on the steering wheel will be $375.00 with either the deposit ($125.00) or final payment ($250.00) paid via credit card over the telephone. We accept Visa, Discover, Mastercard and PayPal. We retain a credit card number on file in order to bill the customer for the core should they choose not to return it. At this point in time, we do not have a core steering wheel for the vehicle. Nevertheless, if there is sufficient interest, we will purchase at least one core for the GB.

You have your choice of material, material color and thread/stitch color. In addition we have the following options: Add 1/8" padding to wheel; Add a top dead center indicator stripe. The pricing for these options is $0.00 and $30.00, respectively.

They are asking for 5 buyers to receive the discounts. I am not a vendor here, so I cannot do anything commercially. This is a preliminary step to establish how much interest there is in the product, the official GB will come if there is enough interest.

Keep in mind you will NOT lose electronic steering wheel controls and you will NOT lose your airbags as you would with an aftermarket racing wheel. You get the feel of a racing wheel without losing the stock functionality.

Honestly, if any of you have ever felt a racing wheel or a BMW sport alcantara wrapped wheel you know what this is all about. Feels comfortable, sporty and it doesn't slip and slide everywhere like the leather one can. Also for you folks in very hot or very cold weather, no more having to hold a freezing cold / scorching hot wheel when you get back in the car.

So let me know what you guys think and I'll relay the info back to JPM Coachworks.
