Welcome, KEYTECHNIQUES Is there any way we could get them primed or not painted? & also is there a way to make the hatch cover flush?

Hi there fellow Marylander! If you need a car to test these out on in person, let me know and I can zip over to ya

Welcome to the site KEYTECHNIQUES... nice to have you aboard. Looking forward to doing some business with you myself and I'm sure you will get plenty of other business from others as well. Already passed the word on to a few buddies that have Scions as well.

Im a Trix owner, the holes are identical, but the color may be different, I can supply if needed.I think I will reiterate a bun of others concerns with the hatch cover being fairly deep and not flush. How can that be addressed.

I have sold a few sets allready to matrix owners. I have most of the paint and was looking to Sonsor the Matrix forums soon.

If this project goes through and just as soon as you get your keyhole covers I would like to take high quality pictures of your car using my SLR cameras.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone and if this project is a go then I will order the paint and I will also take some time and find a solution to the rear hatch. Thanksdev

Progress... I like it!!!

Sure thing! My cars a little camera ham anyway. My vibe has the black unpainted door handles and the gray unpainted hatch which is the standard for the two-toned Vibe (which is why some of us are asking for primered covers.) So I'll have to paint mine to match before the pics.BC: I need to change my order to primered all around

How would the primed covers affect the price?

Um.... BC.... can i switch mine back to abyss???Im just gonna get them for katies car, ill prolly be trading mine in the begginin of the year.

Quote, originally posted by ANO_Vibe »How would the primed covers affect the price? The simple answer is that it wont. most of the expense is in the labor of making the cover and the little about of paint probably alters the cost by pennies to the dollar since they are made in batches. Painting is the easy part since we have a system and the prep work is everything.

So where do I sign up.

I think this would be cool but my handles are plastic on my '06

Come On! We only need 6 more people!

I am itching to make these covers for you guys. I have everything ready except the paint that has to be ordered.

Cool! Did you figure out anything to make the hatch cover flush?

I was doing some quick calculations and If I make them with only the colors ordered Then I can almost break even with the paint. I will need you guys to do me a favor and spread the word after you receive the covers. I will have to offer the rear latch cover at a latter date. The shipping is very minimal so don't worry about not being able to order at this time. Thanksdev

I'm still in with the hatch cover the way it is. If it's just the doors, I'm out. Too much trouble.

I will also offer free shipping to those that are on the initial list when the hatch cover is ready. Thanksdev

Thanks for the reply.Perhaps down the road.Keep us MO Members in mind.

Whatever it takes to get this off the ground. I understand the issue, paint is expensive and you actually have to buy a lot more than you need to spray a small piece of plastic. I'm willing to wait for the hatch cover.

SO does this mean you will start production on our covers?Do you have a website or anykind of company logo. I would be willing to put a vinyl decal on my car supporting your product.I will take the hatch the way it is.

Quote, originally posted by KEYTECHNIQUES » I don't understand. You don't want the door covers? I meant I would be happy enough with the hatch cover the way it was. If I had to do a seperate transaction for the hatch cover, I would not order but since you are offering free shipping when the hatch covers are done and there is no need for another transaction, then I am still very much up for it.

I too am interested in these if it's still available.

Hey guys... which color comes closest to matching the gray cladding? I saw a Vibe on the road the other day that was a dark grey and I almost couldn't tell it had unpainted cladding.

Moonstone is the closest match to the cladding. I think it was called Shadow on 04's and earlier.

I will post a link to the Scion forums on which I do a majority of my business. Soon as I collect enough orders I will order the paint and make the covers. Thanksdev

Oooh, I'm so excited, we're getting there! They look great! Can't wait for mine

nice...just registered yesterday...sign me up for these suckers...!44U/WA721H Salsa 2 doors/1hatchThanksRick

If he only has the matrix colors or if he is worried about paint. Can we get them primed since I have touch up paint and a rattle can then it is no big deal. What is the cost of the units.

Can we get them primed since I have touch up paint and a rattle can then it is no big deal. What is the cost of the units.He is getting the paints for our cars and you can also get them primed. For cost check the first post on page 1.

I just finished a big batch yesterday for all of my other forums and hopefully tonight I will post the link so you guys can place your orders at Scion life. Thanks dev

oh oh oh........ the day is coming. i cant wait.

They are available for pre order at this time. The cut off date for the free shipping on the hatch cover is two weeks from this date. Once I have enough orders to break even I will order the paint. 62U/WA916K Neptune is with me at the moment and will ship earlier then the others. Please follow the directions for ordering on this link on Scion life. You will be ordering the TC 1.2 covers. http://www.scionlife.com/forum...00479Thanksdev

I put my order in.But do we need to pay right away or do we wait till you have all the orders in?
