Compared to anything Porsche, that would be cheap

You’re right about that, probably by a factor of 10+

So.... my question is: if I were to sell them, what do you think is a fair price for the 718 (or very similar 992/Taycan) mode dial covers in red or yellow?

Tom, you are the best person to answer that question since you know the time, effort and cost to produce/ship them. Maybe the solution would be to stop taking special requests and just offer them to people you find have contributed enough.

You were kind enough to produce and ship many of them to the Carpokes community so I think people will understand!

Given what Porsche gets for their options, IMHO $99 would seem like a bargain. Regardless, I concur with Wizz.

Tom,
Posted pic of my car as Avatar so hoping that earns me a mode dial cover in red for my 718 GTS! Happy Holidays!

Thanks guys. I won't be able to make more until next week at the soonest and am currently on the fence about whether to continue with the 'policy' linked below, or start selling them for a price to be determined. As posted above, I'm looking for input on what folks think would be a fair price. If I opt to start selling them, I will post info here, but in the meantime, here is the policy as currently in effect:

$75 seems like a good price. $125 like a Porsche price. I love mine.

Glad you love yours.

I'm thinking in that ballpark too. My thought is to make them in batches and sell from existing supplies rather than taking order and making wait lists, etc. I won't get back to them until next week, and will work on a plan in the meantime. I'll still be looking for a way to recognize active carpokeans -- but still mulling how to do that in the spirit intended (i.e., as a thank you for genuine community involvement rather than some kind of quid pro quo for posting). Open to all ideas....

I think random rewards are nice - just announce it here and there, and either have some available for people who see the announcement, or some for people who post in a quality and engaging way....or a combination

(I get nice comments on my dial cover often!)
