Talking Interest in high end appearance upgrades.

Forgiato came to us to discuss working with them on developing and selling more high end appearance products for the Camaro. Are you guys interested in products like the DiFalco grille?

I actually love that look of the LEDs, but no way I could/would pay the money I'm guessing they're asking for!!

$3500-$4000, I'm guessing. Does the bikini gal come with it? That could very possibly influence my decision.

Naipes. That is one of the most ridiculously expensive camaro products.

I think you're offering this product to the wrong demographic.

Perhaps there's a market for higher-end interior appearance products? For example, I'd love to have a true brushed aluminum center console and interior accents rather than painted plastic or an overlay.

I personally don't care for the Forgiato style and that grill doesn't even look right to me. The headlight doors don't even open all the way.

I think the grille looks amazing but I would never pay that kind of price for it. I'm sure there is a market for it but its just not for me

I love the style and the idea of, but no way on earth would i pay over 1200$ for a grille... 3000$-4000$ is just... uck.. i mean i could have a huge payment chunk to a supercharger or turbo charger there..

Am I interested? Yes

Is there any way in hell I would buy their products? No.

Not because of any lack of quality they have (I honestly have no idea), but I'm guessing what they're asking is too much, even if it is adequately priced.

I feel like Forgiato is what rich celebrities would put on their Camaro, someone that has 10+ other high performance cars. Most Camaro owners and most of your customer base probably won't get this.

They should be catering to Mercedes, Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, etc. You're average camaro owner won't be able to afford this.

but thanks for asking us apex, I doubt it would be a mutually beneficial relationship with you and Forgiato. But thats just my opinion. Maybe they have other products that might sell.
