iKONA Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Well my name is John Perez and I'm the owner of i-KONA in chicago (www.i-kona.com). A great friend of mine (also x co worker at a renowned body shop in CHI) just bought a new 08 Ford Edge in White Sand and I have to say! Ford lately has been catching my interest and the Edge and Flex completely sealed it! I started making key hole plugs for the Edge (Ill have another forum on that (not for sale yet) and wanted to make more. Selling hundreds of products to Scions, Mitsubishis and mustangs I want to now see if you guys would have interest in these! Their called bumperets. Many luxury cars have them. Their for the guys who love a smoother flush look on their car! The picture I have below... The first one is a stock Edge showing the rear hatch with all emblems and what not. The second picture features the 2 bumperets (One on each side of the license plate) I can have them fitted with LED lights in any color upon request of order (NO ORDERS ACCEPTED YET WE ARE JUST GETTING SETTLED WITH A PROTOTYPE). I also have a debadged and shaved rear hatch handle (Garnish) What would you guys think is an appropriate price for this? And what other features would you like incorporated into it? The product would be made of high quality fiberglass or polyurethane and will either be attached to the panel via studs and bolts or a series of 3M adhesion tape stripes on the edges of the bumperetts. And yes I will the option to have them purchaseed unfinished, primered or painted to color match / custom color. We use high quality Dupont and RM paints. Lifetime warranty on all refinishes. I know I most likely have to become a sponsor or vendor to sell so I am not selling anything until I become a sponsor or vendor of some sort. I also want to d a group buy to brake the product in at a great price. Please post questions or add your name if you are seriously interested once if I become a vendor / sponsor of some sort and have the products ready to ship. I just want to see if theres interest in this so that I can make the decision of becoming a sponsor. :happy feet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Talionis Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 (edited) I started making key hole plugs for the Edge (Ill have another forum on that (not for sale yet) and wanted to make more. how interesting... I made one of these for myself the day after I bought my Edge knowing I would NEVER use a key. I will post up photo. never thought about a market for them, until now you say that, BUT if you make them in White Sand Tri Coat... I would buy one Edited September 14, 2008 by Lex Talionis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Talionis Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 (edited) These would be sick and I would buy for sure, as I expect many would... make them.. please start with White Sand Tri Coat - the same your buddy has I have and we each only need 1 a piece - a little research showed me the idea I had was not so unique and can be done way better (flush and color matched) and is being done by some already.. just not for Ford Edge it seems make it happen! UPDATE: best you read this thread before you act Edited November 10, 2008 by Lex Talionis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
