dulnev,
Their phone number is listed in this url. I talked to Sandy Swanson when I had a question about my order.

Well! Yesterday I met Sandy and she said that 2 or more buys are for $25.00. I saw the product is pretty neat with very stiff nature and fill not fold or sag like the one I've seen in the past. I ordered one along with my friend which I'm picking up on Thursday. Will post pictures.

UPDATE
I just spoke to Bruce at Canvas Works. If we buy 20 or more, the cost is $15.50 each plus shipping. One person (call him "reseller") will have to guarantee the purchase with their credit card and provide to Bruce a list of people who are authorized to purchase at that price. These people would not be charged anything. Instead the total will be calculated including the actual shipping charges and then charged to this "reseller's" credit card.
I'm not sure I'd want to be this reseller, since there's an inherent risk and hassle associated with doing this. And I'd have to figure out how to collect money from the buyers (PayPal maybe?). Any suggestions?
I guess I could propose the price of $19 + whatever shipping Canvas Works charges as the price to the end buyers, which would provide me with some incentive to be this "reseller". Or maybe someone else wants to do this?

Would it be possible to have people call Bruce at CanvasWorks individually, telling him about the group buy on Acura-TL.com. Once he gets 20 buyers, he could then release the order.

why cant we pay the store and he will send you the money? amd if he is worried about 20 peopple actualy buying them, he can wait until everyone on the list gave him thier credit cards and then ship them all out. tell himk to charge $18 for that b/c anyone else would do that anyway.

WE'RE READY TO BUY!
Bruce has agreed to the approached suggested by couple people here. Here's the plan:
1. Everyone who's interested, please send me a private message with your Name and E-mail address, as well as the number of shades you want to buy.
2. Once I've collected all names (I'll give it 2 days or until all the people who posted in this thread send me info), I will e-mail the list to Bruce at Canvas Works.
3. Bruce will send everyone an e-mail with instructions on how to buy. The price will be $15.50 + shipping.
START THE PRIVATE MESSAGES!

How do they fasten when they're rolled up? And if they're rolled, won't it have the problem of trying to roll back together when you try to mount it on your windshield? (Much like paper when you unroll a poster, for example)

KEEP THEM COMING!
I have requests from 15 people so far for a total of 17 shades (two of these people still need to send me their full names).
We need 3 more shades requests for the 20 minimum so keep them private messages coming!
Remember, provide both your e-mail and full name, as well as how many shades you want.
Thanks.

I'll ask Bruce about the rear shade; I didn't even know they had one. I'll ask how it's attached on the TL. Although I have to wonder about the usefulness of the rear shade (if it's not transparent)...

It is quite stiff and straightens out without any hassles. However, due to this, it does not seem to roll up very compactly. Putting it on takes about 5-10 seconds.
I am quite happy with it.

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A LIFT OFF!
I now have 20 requests and will be e-mailing the list to Canvas Works!
I will keep you appraised of what happens, but you will likely here from Bruce before you hear from me again.
Everyone else who wants these at the $15.50 price, keep the Private Messages coming! The door is not closed by any means.

I collected mine from Sandy today. (Not in the group buy) This is very good product and covers all of the shield. ZVery easy to put but have to bend a little to tuck in under the mirror. Eventually it will crease there for sure. Once rolled it is about 5-6 inches. Does not go under any seat. I liked the product though keeps lot of heat out. All the best for you guys for the group buy. It's worth every penny.
