Edit: finally got more quotes from GMK and I'm ready to get this started again. The "Green Mods Kit" and "Alphas Kit" have been combined into the "Green Base Kit", just like tons of people suggested, but I was a bit stubborn and failed at trying to please everyone. Go ahead and say "told you so" if you want, I'm prepared for it. But yeah, the price is noticeably better now for everyone that wanted the green mods. Both my store and the stores of my proxies should be updated over the next couple days and anyone that already ordered will be receiving either a refund for the price difference or an email to discus options due to kit adjustments.
New kits are done and ready to go

Prices aren't as low as I wanted them to be, but with the Euro almost 8% higher than when I ran Coniferous and the size of these kits, it's difficult to keep the price low. Someone pointed out "still lower than aftermarket tho" and that's true.
This is being run through my store this time instead of a Google form, meaning that not only do I not have to manually send out invoices, I also don't have to invoice separately for shipping like I did with Coniferous, saving everyone and myself some time. This does mean that I'll have to manually refund people for hitting price points, but that's worth it.
PLEASE make sure and read the entire description for important details before attempting to purchase.

In regards to shipping, I have implemented automatic shipping calculation at checkout which according to my testing is working fine. For anyone in the CONUS shipping is via USPS Priority mail with insurance included. For Canada and other international there are two different options: First Class International which DOES NOT include insurance, and Priority International which DOES include insurance. Please read my disclaimer in the description of the GB page which elaborates on the two different methods.

I agree, I feel like the interest in white mods is too little. I'd just sell white alphas + green mods as one base kit and be done with it. Cheaper and more likely to hit MOQ

Kinda pricey but I really need those green mods so I suppose I'll have to spring for one of them

Orders are actually on hold currently. I need to consult with GMK regarding a slight kits adjustment that may possibly have some quite nice results.

Obviously the base kit is quite close to the 250 price drop point, and I'm considering extending the GB period until Friday in order to help reach that point. There would be an estimated drop of $10-$15.
