Zane.Ong Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Hi Rollaheads, I am looking to make reproductions of the TRD tosco seats. I am checking out a few guys who can make them and also want to make sure they are done with good finishing. I wonder if anyone is looking for them too? It will be cheaper to make them in bigger quantities, so we can cost down the product price. I'm targeting at the range of USD$220-270 for each (the cheaper the better), hopefully I can get a good deal negotiating with suppliers. Who ever is interested, can leave me a contact details so I can share more photos when I get the first samples ready.

LittleRedSpirit Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) At that price I suspect we arent talking about the same levels of safety as a proper regulated motorsport item. While I admire the intiative, safety equipment is very risky to produce poorly or by remote control. Id like to hear more about your safety and quality control programs before I suggest anyone partake in this.

We are not aiming for racing purpose and IF I can get a supplier who are able to get their product tested for safety measures. I will do my best.

LittleRedSpirit Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Aiming for racing is easier than ADR approval but do your research and see whats involved before you do much else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A professional shop that produces for major manufacturers will insist you dont produce a product thats an exact copy right down to the branding of TRD unless licenced to do so. They certainly wont risk the sustainable aspects of their business by reproducing IP they dont own.

Appreciate your thoughts very much. It helps me to have more points to negotiate for a better supplier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
