Perhaps, but that leaves about 20 members unaccounted for. I originally offered front only with full intent to offer rear sill inserts shortly thereafter... obviously follow through was bleak and this GB is no longer being offered.

As of July 11th, GB is no longer offered. I would be irritated if I was Ryan. Started a project with the idea he would have the minumum amount of orders needed to recoup his R & D. If Ryan is still around.....would you make the rears without a discounted price? Also, do you even have any fronts still available?? Thanks.
*edit - did anybody buy something other than the black with the white light? I know MGZ purchased the amber lighting. How about just powering it up and taking a pic so you dont have to install.
*note - if anyone purchased the front and wants to sell due to not having back pieces. Please message me. Thanks.
Installing a BBK (Brmbo) today and have some paintjob done which means that the car will be away for some time. I can however take a photo of the sills just like they are, without the lighting. If you are interested.
I completely agree with you regarding the group buy. So many interested and so few who followed up. Disgraceful.
I can't believe there isn't enough interest out there. I'm not sure if you are a distributor/rep or a manufacturer. I think if you did a better job marketing these you would get more orders. Is teaming up with a company like Bavarian Auto, who put's out a cataloge benefit you? I'm not 100% sure, but wouldn't these also work on other E39's (not just the M5's).
I'm not trying to tell you how to opperate, I'm just trying to help you sell more of these. I can't help but think if more BMW owners knew about them, they would buy them. This is a great board for "marketing" but it's just the tip of the iceburg and can limits your full exposure to the BMW market.
Good Luck and let us know if the rears ever become a part of a package.

Well, I am sure if you visit his website, you will see other vehicles and other designs. This post was specifically catered to the M5 crowd. Obviously, the M5 was never in "high" production like other vehicles. So, not saying read all the posts but, the money involved to do one offs is not worth the effort. That is why he required a min of 10 guaranteed people to buy. We had 25 "interested" and I dont know how many said for sure, but, only a few actually put the money where their mouth is. I really wish they did because being a new member, I lost out on a decent deal. I know its only 50 bucks but, I would def. buy at 350 but not at 400. Especially since the fall out of the fronts, he wont be making rears. Such a shame.

Not to be an axx or antyhing, but the diference is really quite small for a mod that very high on the $$/HP scale. I bought a set, and I think it's a lot of money for something that has zero functional value, but gosh - it sure looks cool!
Not sure about the rest of you, but I drive alone or with one passenger about 99% of the time I drive the car. So 99% of my door openings are covered by the cool sills!
To say you would buy for $350 and not for $400 makes little sense to me. It's a tank of gas.
$200 verus $400 maybe...

No plans for the rears due to lack of interest. The front door sill inserts are available on GrafxWerks.com.

If, someone wanted a rear set done. Would you "custom" make one and if so, what type of price? Just for my own reference. Cause, I guess there really isnt anything wrong with being unique and the only one.

You are definitely right. But, we all put caps on what we are willing to do. Given two gas stations across the street from each other, one is at 3.00 a gallon and one at 3.10 a gallon. Which do you choose? Wherever the gas is better? lol. given it was equal on quality. You choose the 3.00 a gallon. Would you shop at 7-11 or the grocery store? the grocery store correct? Why, is it to save?? Naw, more or less to be conscientious of money. At least that is IMO. So, when I say I am willing to do 350. That is what I am willing to do. Especially since I would want rears as well. Which he does not make.
Oh and btw. I am stating my view point. Not trying to be offensive. Cheers.
