TRD/Toyota Throwovers Group Buy

[SuiCid3]

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone is still interested in the throwovers (seat covers) that were talked about a few weeks ago?

I spoke to the GUY (stupid lady came just as I walked away ), and he said he could bring it down to $50 for the front set (originally $60 a pair). This is from Paddy's under Market City.

Rear sets are $70, if there's enough interest in these, I guess I could talk him down to $55 maybe?

The guy told me there's 10 different colours.

From what I saw, there's (9):

Light Blue

Blue

White

Yellow

Purple

Red

Light Gray

Dark Gray

Black

The print can be any colour. What I saw on display were:

Black print on white

Red print on white

White print on black

White print on red

Another thing was, if we come up with a logo, he said we could get that printed instead.

So that's a bonus if anyone can come up with something.

They also have TRD floor mats. Which come in 4 colours:

Yellow print/border on black

Blue print/border on black

Red print/border on black

White print/border on black.

EOI's please!

If anyone wants, please feel free to go and speak to the guy if you want to try and get the price further down.

I will try and bargain him down further next time I pop in.

I got some pics as well, so I'll post those up when I get home.

Cheers,

Sui.

Pics added!

interested in white covers with black TRD logo!

Let me know how u go!

I'd also be interested in a set of either dark grey with white print or black with white print.

Another idea would be to get some done with a custom print which was mentioned.

How about a "Sportivo" Logo in the same font as the badging. Text colour could be either white or even Red with a grey, white or silver outline to mimmick the 05 Sportivo badging.

only problem this limits the Sportivo printed ones to sportivo owners where as the TRD ones would suit more people here.

Just thought i'd throw the idea in the air anyways.

mm...is the seat covers same for sedan and hatch...and preface lift corollas..and face lift corollas?

[SuiCid3]

Throwovers are practically universal.

So you can chuck em on almost any car and they'll fit.

[Hsien]

Cool, so where r u ordering from?? Brisbane, sydney or melbourne? and if i'm interested how do i pay??

[specialized32]

yeah were is that guy you went to located?

[SuiCid3]

Paddy's Market in Sydney.

As with all the other group buys, it would be best to send it all to 1 location if you're interstate, and then redistribute it from there, as this will keep postage to a minimum.

Sydney buyers can just pick up at the next meet. :)

If this goes ahead, payment can be deposited into my account, and I'll pay as bulk.

yerp that would be perfect...

perhaps we should decide on a colour combo.. eg. Black throwover with the new sportivo logo printed on it..

[CheekySportivo]

yeh i agree! :D

[SuiCid3]

Umm.. if anyone has time, can they pop in to the stall and ask how much the floor mats are?

I forgot the price the guy gave me....

Sorry Northy... :(

i like the Sportivo print idea, but if u get that, can i still get TRD? cos i was getting them for my brother, who doesnt have a sportivo! :P

Yep thats exactly what I had in mind when I made the suggestion.

Only thing that worries me would be the quality of the job. Nothing against market folk (there are "some" nice people there) but if they do a custom order and it comes out looking crappy, they're still going to insist that they are purchased.

Just something to think about...

Either way i'm still happy with a TRD set if everyone votes that way.

[SuiCid3]

That's true.

I guess what I can do is get a sample done and then report back to you guys.

[mick0082]

Depends if your willing to go out of your way for all this man.

I'm sure we'd all understand if you didnt want to chase something like this. Could be abit of mucking around.

I'm down for a set either way.

[SuiCid3]

I'd be more than happy to do it if everyone that's interested can confirm that they're definitely in and what colour they would like.

[iNdCeNt]

for the floor mats,

im in melbourne atm, i saw them at the QB markerts in the ct, the pair was going for 39, dats two front mats with trd and they had different colors. i mean the TRD was different colors, blue red yellow...

hope this helps

[mick0082]

Put me down for a set of black Sportivo front throwovers or failing those, just the regular TRD ones.

If the Sportivo ones go ahead, i'd prefer if the logo wasnt excessively large as they might look abit "****ish" if the logo is huge.

Maybe have it the same size as the badge on the car.
