WTB: Racing Dynamics Rear Apron for E30

[MikeTomascik]

Hey,

So I've spent the last week trying to track down an item that has been out of production for the past year or so. The Racing Dynamics rear apron (PN: 121.52.30.015) for E30's from 1984-1991. I am interested in this piece because it is the last body component I will need to complete my body kit, and it is one of the few that doesn't look half bad for the 5 mph metal bumpers. I have talked to Racing Dynamics and they will only reproduce them for a minimum order of 10 pieces. If you are interested in the RD rear apron yourself then post a response stating your interest and maybe we can get enough people to get them to produce it again. Or if anyone is selling the part, has it lying around, or is looking to get rid of one then I'll gladly buy it.

Thanks for your time,
Mike Tomascik

Mike;
Any idea what this apron is worth?Last weekend a friend of mine who collects rare parts showed me the very part you're looking for.

[ZM Blue Devil]

isnt there two different versions? early and late?

[MikeTomascik]

The apron was worth around $463.00 brand new when they were manufacturing them, and as far as I know, the part number(s) is the same for both metal and plastic bumper styles. They supplied a part number for the apron with stock exhaust (121 52 30 015) and with the Racing Dynamics exhaust (121 52 30 017). I have seen this apron on both plastic and metal bumpers.

Alright guys so here's the scoop. I talked to my distributor today and he called Racing Dynamics to find out more details. Apparently they don't have the mould for the rear apron right now, but are going to obtain it from Europe within the next week. The aprons will be made out of a more economical and pliable resin, carbon kevlar, instead of the old style polyurethane. I will have the pricing within the next 48 hours so sit tight.

Thanks,

So here is the moment of truth!

I spoke to my power dealer today, and everything is a go as long as we have a minimum of 10 people on-board and who are 100% positive that they are going to place an order. The rear aprons will go for $420.00 a piece. That will be the price for both American and Canadian residents seeing as our dollars are relatively at par with each other. As far as shipping goes, for those of you in the US the aprons will be distributed by Racing Dynamics, so you will not have to concern yourselves with any hefty international shipping fees or duty. For the Canadians, the aprons will be distributed by Oakville Motorwerks who are located just outside Toronto in Ontario. Oakville Motorwerks is a Power Dealer and have assured me that cross-country shipping will not be ridiculous, and will range anywhere from $20-50 per apron. They do this sort of distribution all the time and there's is no need for cross-continent shipping concerns.

As far as time goes, we should expect the aprons to be distributed by mid to end of June. This is expected seeing as Racing Dynamics must obtain the mould of the rear apron from Italy, and shipping time may vary depending on peoples' locations from California and Toronto. Kevin and I will record and tally the first 8 of you who show 100% certainty of purchasing, and then I will distribute particular details to the buyers. If we happen to end up with a greater number of positive buyers than 10, I will consult my dealer and ask if it's possible to extend his purchase order. Otherwise, it may be first come first serve (or first post first serve I should say). All costs will be paid up front to Oakville Motorwerks. After confirming 10 certain buyers, my dealer will post an ad for the apron under E30 on his website and purchases can be made securely through the website.

Thanks guys,
Mike Tomascik
