Anyone wanna break the GB curse on this forum, .......buy this lip. SC forum is famous for talking, but when the GB's come and the price is right nobody put's their wallet down.

YEAP! Wow are the SC owners still on the ummmmmmmm frugal side?!

You're not too late. It was not going to happen any way so don't feel sad.

I haven't heard from Luis at Carson in a while. He hasn't returned my PM's. So, I don't see how this is going to happen.

We couldn't get even a couple legit people to sign up for this. So what makes you think you will get more than five? It's just not going to happen. Sadly.

well, just wondering if it's the price that makes people hesitate, because rideskins is cheaper... say like if it gets to the amount of a rideskins lip, you think people will make their moves...?

Like the fujitsubo exhaust system: people are saving their money for other things. given the opportunity, like $450 for a $1200 cat back exhaust system... People was buying them like crazy...

That Big Win will never be as cheap as the Rideskins. Because rideskins can crumple their lip into a small bundle and ship it for ten bucks. Can't do that with a Big Win lip. Combine that with the fact that they still need to ship it here from Japan, plus the cost Carson needs to pay for domestic delivery.

May I suggest you just buy the Fujin Lip from RideSkinz? It has excellent fitment and is made from urethane, plus it is less in cost too. it is made in the USA, and is available for significantly less shipping time. How do you lose?

I learned a long time ago that very few GB's on the SC Forum of CL are ever successful. Don't waste your time on this one.
