In an effort to streamline manufacturing we have decided to make some changes at Icebox Intakes. With the previous line up of custom colors we increasingly found it counter productive to keep a stock of Intakes. Predicting the demand for different color intake bases and lids proved to be difficult if not futile. Building the intakes and letting them sit un-powdercoated was also not very efficient. So that meant that each and every intake had to be prepped, bent, welded and powdercoated after the order was placed.
What we noticed over this last year is that a quality product that performed was more important to our customers. Many customers opted for black bases on their intakes and may have added a splash of color on the lid. Because our intakes are so custom each lid will usually only fit the intake base it was made for. So with this in mind we are making changes to reflect what the market requested.
So for 2011 our goal is to build up a stock of our awesome Icebox Intakes in the various models available, with the really durable and great looking Mini Textured Black powder coated finish on the bases and have a limited number of colored lids available. With the majority of the lids available in the same Mini Textured Black for quick shipping.
We believe that this will help us provide you a quality product much quicker when we can actually stock a number of completed intakes. Hey when you are a small growing company you can make changes that will help you grow and that is our goal.
As of the New Year 2011, unless something changes in the future, we have taken all sales of Icebox Intakes in house. This is the only place that you can purchase Icebox Intakes is right here direct from the manufacturer.
Here’s wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year 2011.
