AutoTecknic Colored Carbon Fiber Gear Selector Groupbuy

Some of you may remember the Groupbuy of the CF levers to have Autotecknic produce a different color +/- for us.

So here I am again, this time shooting to have the Gear selector produced in a different color.

Minimum order to get produced: 10 per color
Color options: blue, red, yellow
Production time: 4-6 after place of order (estimated)
Cost: Autotecknic will try to have us buy them for $165/per selector I am not adding any profit for myself.
Why: Because I can't stand the fact that everyone on the globe has the same parts on the car. People that know my car and me know I try stuff and be willing to take a risk.

Pics: Due to the fact that as far as I know nobody has done this before, there are none. I put the Autotecknic regular black CF version here as reference only. AT told me that they would add colored Kevlar fibers to produce the colors.

ORDER: Just leave a comment on this thread with your interest and color choice. Once we hit 10 in any color, I can place the order. So this may take a while.
I will update the thread with current status per color as the information becomes available.

Payment: Last time Autotecknic was able to give me a code to enter directly into the webpage and shipped directly to the buyer. Payment was also directly thru their page. So I hope we do this again with this one to avoid having me to
collect funds being responsible etc.. Worst case I end up placing the order and ship myself after payment received. Not preferred by me, but doable.

Order count as of 9/17
Blue: 3
Red: 2
Yellow: 0

**** UPDATE 10/22 DUE TO NOT MAKING THE REQUIRED INTEREST I'M CANCELLING THIS GROUP BUY ****

I'll take red to also match my SO! Could you also do the trim and hand brake?

Wait.. would AT be willing to make a one off for me? I know there aren't even 10 Atlantis blue F8X's in the world, so this wouldn't work for me.. But if they'd do a one off, I'd totally dig it.

OP: should I just contact them directly? Is there anyone at AT that could do this for me specifically?

Thank you

I will add you to the list. I am sure they can, but you would have to do the same as I did. Reach out to them, get the ok. Estimated price and amount of orders needed to produce. They won't do just 1 piece. If you do Im in for blue as well lol.
Its a lot of work trying to do this, but it can be done. Did that with the levers a few month ago.

Hey Dude, they don't do just 1 single piece. Otherwise and honestly i wouldn't arrange these group buys. AT worked with me before, so I got a pretty good relationship with them. But if you want reach out to them thru their webpage.

I am hoping it will look like the Eventuri intake blue. But I wouldn't be able to tell you as there is no sample that was ever produced.

Unfortunately no. This was just an idea of mine based on the Eventuri intake colors. AT said it probably will be close to those colors, but they haven't done it before either.

[M-Attack]

Anyone else? If not I will give up on it.
