i missed out on the last round,
anybody interested in another group buy on
side steps?
if we get 10, i believe the price is $402.50 *0.9 = $362.50, shipped at hondacuraworld |

| I am interested in participating in a group buy for side steps, but I believe the price would be closer to $349. I missed the last one and would really like to add this accessory. The best I could get from the dealer was $650 installed and they told me that was cost. |
|

| Alamat |
| ...last group buy cost $351 and change...I was able to get in on it but have yet to install it... |
|
|
| havapilot |
| Count me in for a set. |
|
|
| tim.s |
We are talking about the round side steps, right?
I'll join if the price is around $350 with shipping included. |

glad to see you guys reply,
i was getting close to just ordering
this elsewhere
wow, current price is 349...
either the price has dropped,
or i screwed up the numbers the
first time...lower is better
beowulf - the labor on these side steps
appear to vary from 1-3 hours depending
on the honda dealership...not sure how
this could take over an hour, but at $70-80
labor per hour, i figured i would do it myself |

I installed runningboards myself, which is as laborious as the sidesteps, if not more. It took me three hours and a box of Wheaties to complete the job and two 500mg Tylenol at bedtime. |

I'm looking for the running boards I guess not the round ones. |

|
| tim.s |
| Still looking for more buyers.:awais: The price should be about $352 (including shipping). |

| I saw a Pilot with the side steps and they looked great. If I participate in the group buy, will I difficulty getting another Honda dealership installing them.:confused: |
|
|
| tsingh |
you may want to call up your local honda dealerships
and ask to make sure.
i called 3 in the area, and all said they would
do the install provided the parts were honda |

Save your money and install them yourself. The installation is fairly simple, just tightening a bunch of bolts, no drilling, cutting, etc. I installed mine by myself in the dark in less than two hours. There really is very little to go wrong here. |

I would like to get in on a group buy as well. Anything under $400 sounds great. Who is organizing this and how do I get in?
Thanks, Chaz |

Chaz -
You guys currently have about 6 or 7 confirmed buyers. When you reach 10, someone (perhaps tim.s) needs to contact Tim (at hondacuraworld via PM or 1-888-RAY-LAKS) and let him know. When he approves it, it will usually be on the hondacuraworld.com web site under the Specials section for one week. Once it's there, go place your order. I just got done with a Group Buy for the Cargo Organizer -- piece of cake!!! :4: |

so far i think it's:
beowulf777
tim.s
ck55
vbchaz
tsingh
only five more! |
|

| aubrey4x4 |
| If the pair of side-steps are $350 w/shipping like those posted in tim s. post on 3-12-03, count me in for a pair too. They look great! How many more folks need to sign up before the order can be made? Thanks :4: |
|
|
| kemosabe |
7 down and 3 more to go!!!

TCSnVA could be number 9 but his respone seemed to be on the fence... :confused:
Out the door price will be $351.83 (as of today).
MATH: $388.70 * .90 = $349.83 + $2 Handling = $351.83 |
|
|
| TCSnVA |
| TCSnVA is interested, so count him in too. Just let me know what to do next. |

With TCSnVA I think we are still at 7, havapilot wanted running boards (BTW, havapilot, the running board GB is another thread ).

| I talked to Tim and HondaAcura world and they are setting up a group buy after next week. They only allow one group buy at a time and there is one ahead us...so hang on a few days and have our mouse ready to click! |
|
|
| aubrey4x4 |
| After there are enough people on the list, what is the process whereby those on the list get their individual orders placed?Thanks! :confused: |
|
|
| tsingh |
in order to buy the side steps,
i think tim from hondacuraworld adds
the side steps group buy to the specials section
on the website.
when he adds it, it should list the discounted price of the side steps...however, i don't think it actually
identifies what is being sold..
so, i think anyone can buy the sidesteps for that price when it is listed online. |

| Heys folks while I was waiting for Tim to do our group sale, now two weeks away, I found this parts dealer in Atlanta that is willing to sell Lighted Running Boards, OEM style for the Honda Pilot. His price in $249 plus shipping (around $30). I may bail and go for this, is anyone interested? |

The last time the link got truncated, try patching this together!

| Thanks vbchaz for the pics of the lighted running boards, but I still like the look of the side steps better, and will wait for them. Cheers :7: |

| Those side steps are only $358.80 on www.handaccessories.com, no group buy needed, perhaps you can get him to match the price then take 10% off that...then it would be a deal |

$358 is still more than $351, so hondacuraworld is already cheaper? Plus, handaccessories charges shipping so the side step price would be $358+$26.55=$384.55.
If you don't buy on a group buy here, then handaccessories would be cheaper...by $6.
When we do get the group buy together, then hondacuraworld will be cheaper by $32. |

hondacura's group buy seems to be
the best buy on the web for honda parts
i think we still need 3-4 folks to actually make
this a group buy...once/if we hit ten, then
tim from hondacuraworld will post a date
for the buy |

tsingh,
Count me in.
I thought the upcoming GB was for side steps, but now realize that it is for running boards. Dang, I can't keep the two step-up-thangs straight! :confused: |
|
|
| aubrey4x4 |
| This GB started out and still continues to be a side-step GB (although @ one point an alternative of "lighted running boards" was proposed and not accepted by the group)---RIGHT? If this is the case, how many are now on the list for the side-steps (Honda P/N 08L33-S9V-100A)? Thanks |

The answer to your first question, aubrey4x4, is YES, this is still a side steps group buy!! :4: :17:
Head count, please... |

aubrey4x4,
Confusion should be my middle name.
The "upcoming GB" I was refering to comes from another thread dealing with "running boards". It is my understanding that on or about 4/18/03 a new group buy for "running boards" (I mentally mistook for side steps) is supposed to begin.
I want the "side steps" so want into this potential buy. |

|
| aubrey4x4 |
| Head count---I'm still in! Thanks :4: |
|
|
| tsingh |
folks,
this thread continues to be the group buy
for original honda side steps only.
so far i have:
beowulf777
tim.s
ck55
vbchaz (not sure)
tsingh
aubrey4x4
TCSnVA
terrier
i am not sure if vbchaz is still in.
so we need just 2-3 people for the steps
group buy. |
|
|
| tim.s |
| Please post if you are still interested in side steps for a group buy. The total price should be $351.83 with shipping and handling. |

Count me in on the side steps ! |

Count me in too. That brings us to ten if vbchaz is still in. Who started this group buy or who is going to contact Tim and let him know this one needs to get in line, in another post he is looking for which GB is next, so we need to make sure this one is considered.
Current list of people in the GB for Side Steps:
beowulf777

ck55
vbchaz (not sure)

Has Tim posted the group buy on this yet?
If he hasn't yet, then count me in as well on this! |
|
|
| tim.s |
| Over in this thread he said it would probably be Thursday. |

Tim hasnt posted it yet, I just checked. From what I understand on the group buy thing is that even if you were not one the of the first 10 to sign up you can still buy the part at the group rate price as long as you buy from his web site while it is posted as a special. So you should count yourself in if you want one. |

| Thanks Kemo, just checked and the sidesteps are posted on the hondacuraworld.com website. I ordered mine, I cant wait to get them so I can try and squeeze myself under the car to install them, not to mention the missing skin off my knuckles and the frequent bursts of profanity, yep I can't wait. |
