With a $699 price tag, um, I'll say "hell no" to getting one of these!! Terry sent me this quote after I emailed him about the price.

What ever happened to the $499 price I read about (on NLOC I believe)

They were cheaper but Terry was getting no orders. Like anything else , He has a lot of R&D time in them and the original price was based on a certain amount sold. Since he has not reached that quota, he had to raise the price.

Maybe if there is enough Definates (not tire kickers) I could try to talk Terry into a group buy.

Email me only if you guys are very,very,very interested.

Terry put a lot of time into these and I do not want to waist anymore. His stuff is known for high quality and great fit and finish.

Wow, no way I would pay 700 bucks for something that just makes my truck look sweet. Thats better spent on mods.

not to bash anybody, but i dont think raising the price is going to help curb the problem at all. I can guarantee i would buy one in 2 conditions.. 1, the roll pan matched the rear valence a little better.. and 2, the price was around $450 shipped.. because we cant forget we still have to prep prime and paint!

If those pictures are of the finished product then it is no suprise to me that they are not selling. I think it looks horrible! The lower side skirt to the roll pan makes me wanna vomit. I guess some Lightning guy actually do have taste. -Mat-

Sir Mike's:


Pro-Glass:


Not a real big difference. I think that the picture just highlights a sore spot. It would be difficult to blend that in when the stock ground effects are held on with duct tape and coat hangars.

Is everybody serious? The price for these is $700? No thanks. Get a group buy going @ $500 and I'll commit.

They didn't sell because Terry is not a supporting vendor and is not in the L community.
If people do not know they are available they will not buy.

ALL the rollpans make the rear valance look cut off. So I guess you will be puking alot.

Terry did spend a lot of time on these and the quality will show.

Well Vinnie i think it would be good business practice to get some really good pictures of the rollpan so we can appreciate the quality of it. Since you seem to be the most informed, can you see if this can be done? Thanks!

Nah, I will save the puking for a night out with the boys. I just won't be buying a roll pan. -Mat-

There is a '71-'72 Malibu sedan w/ a wooden bumper running around up here. The wooden bumper flows nicer than this one.

We have all seen the work that terry is capable of...So I wonder why he would make and market a product that does not look like it belongs on our trucks.
