Re: TAX RETURN UMI GP!!
I'm in. Could get some goodies for my wife's camaro. Anyone know if the UMI lower control arms and panhard bar will work with an aftermarket 12 bolt? if so i'd be down for some.

Re: TAX RETURN UMI GP!!
Except for it being a "TAX RETURN GP"....Lots of people don't have their tax returns filed AN back by March. Several wait until 11:50 March 14th to even file! 
For a TAX RETURN GP, I would suspect would be better for people's wallets, in May.
For that matter....Businesses have until Jan 31 to send 1040s out, right? Some people barely have theirs filed by now, much less gotten $ back already.
Personally, I'm all about paying my credit card off BEFORE interest accrues, not having interest build, until the $ comes in to pay for what I bought.
Interest can quickly cost a person more than the GP discount even was.

I agree, mine was just sent in. No way it will be back by next week. And 2-3 days is VERY narrow, id say more like a week, at least 5 days.

Re: TAX RETURN UMI GP!!
Whoa whoa...MAY! Really? I agree with others a week or so would be a better period of time. I was simply throwing something out there. Maybe we can postpone to the end of the March but waiting till May is a bit ridiculous.
Another idea would be to have a 5 day period around the 3rd week of March and then those who need longer can setup a 5 day period in late April/early May. So, we would have two different buy periods for the same GP. That way we dont have problems choosing dates too early or late for anyone.

Re: TAX RETURN UMI GP!!
I sent Ryan a message asking about the two different buy periods and time span of each buy period. I will post up once he has replied.

Re: TAX RETURN UMI GP!!
I wish I needed suspension. I'd definitely be in. Maybe next year Ill catch another GB. I have motor and maintenance parts to buy.
Take care and hope this GB goes off well, as I'm sure it will. Might just pick up a wonderbar since its the cheapest part, besides the shocks, but no fronts and no springs? Darn, I need shocks and springs. Car has been sitting for 2+ years, new suspension is now shot...stupid me.

Re: TAX RETURN UMI GP!!
Do we order thru TGO, or from UMI direct and use "code" or something to get discount?
Never usedf Group Purchase before, but I'm in for SFC's on this one.

Re: TAX RETURN UMI GP!!
Ok everyone, code is up! The coupon code is "Thirdgen" - Add the items to your cart and hit the "view cart" button. This will bring up a coupon code box.. add the code Thirdgen and apply.
Now I did this quick to get it moving so there is a few items I missed to get the discount when I set it up. So I am going to recheck it in the morning. If you try to use the code on a certain item and you don't get the discount please PM me the part # and I will add it to the sale items.
I will be posting the details tomorrow but here is a quick rundown. There is no limit to the group purchase count, there is no minimum or maximum. I am going to run it for 2 weeks to the last day of the sale is Sunday March 22nd at midnight. The sale price is 15% off all 3rd gen items we offer.
I will post a new thread Monday morning. Thank you!
Ryan

Thanks for getting this started.
I just happened to email Ryan about some competitor's prices and he told me about this gp. What lucky timing.

Re: TAX RETURN UMI GP!!
My order was completed tonight! Rearend package, sfcs and reloc brackets on their way. Finish up the rear suspension and then move to brakes.
