GB CLOSED- THANKS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED! ENJOY THE SIDE PLATES!
    
***UPDATE: 7/15: Only 3 Days Left to place your orders and this GB is closed! ***UPDATE 7/8: Folks- congrats and thanks for your participation! The sign-up for the GB is now closed. IM's will start sending out today- MAKE SURE YOUR INBOX ISN'T FULL. It will not be our responsibility to chase you down if our IM's bounce due to full inboxes. Also, please give me till tomorrow to get to everyone. I wont be answering any emails or IM's regarding late entry requests at this time- for now the answer is "no". I will attempt to answer you after all our obligations to everyone who made the deadline are met. In the event that we run into any quantity issues with the side plates, we will apply common sense rules that incorporate "first come first serve" as well as "family style" (everyone gets firsts before anyone gets seconds) principles, but I think we should be good. As for the 6" x 8" Level IIIA soft armor backers, we are making them available as an option on the ordering page for $79 per pair So if you don't already have soft armor and you're in need, don't miss out on these either.
Please make sure to review the original post for details before IM'ing questions. General guidelines are as follows: 1) The ordering link sent to your IM will be open until July 18, 2014. You must place your order before then in order to qualify for receiving these Side Plates. 2) Upon placing your order, please complete all your document requirements per our Body Armor Policy. They should be submitted with your order confirmation number clearly referenced. Your order cannot be processed until we have all your approved documents. If you have already submitted the required docs for a previous Body Armor purchase from us, you are good to go as long as none of your documents are expired. 3) Once we have your order confirmed and any required documents in hand, orders will be processed with the following guidelines as noted in our original post: •Side Plate-Only orders will ship within 10 business days of receipt of required docs and confirmed order. •Side Plate orders made with other items from SKDTAC.com will ship within 20 business days of receipt of required docs and confirmed order •Side Plate orders made with Level IIIA soft armor backers will ship within 30 business days of receipt of required docs and confirmed order. Standby for ordering details in your IM box! It's time to GET IT ON. ***UPDATE 7/2: 100 COMMITMENTS REACHED- WELL DONE ARFCOM! THIS BIYATCH IS ON LIKE DONKEY KONG. ***SIGN-UP IS EXTENDED FOR 5 DAYS- SEE BELOW: Due to our upcoming July 4th Sale (We haven't made this public yet so all you GB'ers are hearing it first ), and the sheer size of the commitment we've made to make this extreme deal possible, we are extending the sign-up period for 5 days so our warehouse team doesn't mutiny from having to sort GB orders during the middle of one of our heaviest volume sales. We are sending out an email blast in the next hour to get more people to join in, and starting July 8th, official details and instructions will be sent via ARFCOM IM, ONLY to those who posted commitments on this thread by July 7th. Thanks for all your support and thank ARFCOM for making SKD GB's possible!
***CLARIFICATION: YOU DO NOT NEED A PAID "TEAM" MEMBERSHIP TO PARTICIPATE- YOU ONLY NEED TO BE A MEMBER OF ARFCOM*** ***UPDATE 6/30: 20 MORE TO GO. GET THE WORD OUT AND LET'S DO THIS!*** ***UPDATE 6/28: NEED 27 MORE COMMITMENTS IN THE NEXT 4 DAYS AND WE'RE LIVE*** ***UPDATE 6/24: NEARLY 60% THERE- NEED ANOTHER 42 COMMITMENTS TO PULL THE PIN ON THIS GRENADE!!! DON'T LET THIS THING FIZZLE OUT- IF YOU'RE ON THE FENCE, SQUARE UP, INFLATE CHEST, LOWER TESTICLES, AND COMMIT!!!*** Ladies & Germs, It's time for another SKD Group Buy Proposal and this one could be our biggest yet! Mods approved- if we get the interest needed, we launch!
Up for consideration is a Level IV ICW 6" x 8" ballistic side plate from PPI. This puppy is a first quality ceramic plate with aramid (Kevlar) backing wrapped in a black cordura for protection from the elements. It is a svelte 3/4" thick, and weighs in at approximately 2.8 lbs.  
Many of you have Plate Carriers or Armor Carriers but do not have any side plate coverage or don't know where to look. We've been carrying an awesome PPI Level III ICW side plate package since last year, but we now have an opportunity to offer some Level IV ICW's at an initial ridiculous price. Cross-torso GSW's are considered one of the most damaging possible, as it can simultaneously hit any combination of your lungs, spine, heart, major arteries and worst of all that rib cage tattoo that took 8 sessions to complete. Side Plates can mitigate cross-torso GSW risk, and both soft and hard side armor has been responsible for countless fragmentation saves on the battlefield, as well as reducing blunt trauma injuries that would have resulted in broken ribs. Some side plates on the market are made of hardened steel and for those of you who have read my opinions on steel plates, suffice to say, we do not recommend or carry them. Steel plates are made to stop rounds by 100% deflection of the striking projectile- which means that 100% of a bullet will go somewhere other than the plate- significantly increasing the risk of secondary missile injury into very vulnerable unprotected areas on the wearer. Quality ceramic plates work by absorbing the energy of a striking projectile through destruction of the ceramic tile (and deformation of the projectile shape), and then by capturing the projectile in the backing material built into the plate. The plate we are offering is the PPI 6" x 8" 2803 Ceramic Plate. This plate has been tested to stop M2 .30-06 Armor Piercing (per NIJ 0101.04 protocol) when used in conjunction with IIIA armor. We will be offering IIIA backers separately as an add-on for those who need it (details to follow if this GB goes live), but many of you will have armor panels or concealment vests that have side coverage that would back up this side plate. These side plates were originally offered by PPI at $179 each. >>>If this GB goes live, the Arfcom Member price would be $79 Each- less than half price(!) on each side plate and far less than the wholesale price. Purchase 4 or more, your price drops to $69 Each- over 60% OFF!<<< We will limit the total number of side plates to any individual to 6. This opportunity is for a PREMIUM US-made product that was made by a major armor manufacturer with major military contracts (ISO 9001:2000 Certified), not some fly-by-night manufacturer or importer of armor. Police departments interested in submitting a PO for this GB deal- this deal must go live for the price to be available for departments, and shipping costs for PO's processed through our LE PO pipeline are subject to actual shipping charges, and ARFCOM Team Member orders take priority if we run into quantity issues. As with our previous GBs, in order for this GB to activate, we need a minimum of 100 members to post "I'm in" commitments on this thread IN THE NEXT 15 DAYS. This GB runs on the honor system so only post that you're in if you're 100%. If for some reason you have to back out, please edit your post to reflect the same so we don't include you in the count. This opportunity is ONLY available to US residents living in the 50 United States. We cannot ship armor overseas or to APO's. You need to be an ARFCOM member to participate, so if you have friends or family on the fence, get them to sign up on ARFCOM! We signed over 100 new ARFCOM members with our last Hunker Tent GB! If this GB goes live, we'll be opening this opportunity up for 10 days during which you can complete your order online. As with other SKD Domestic retail orders, shipping is a FLAT $5, no matter how many side plates you order- even if you order an additional 100 pounds of gear- STILL $5 SHIPPING. If this GB goes live, we will ship all Side-plate-only orders first within 10 business days* of the GB closing. All Side-plate orders with other skdtac.com orders will ship within 20 business days* of the GB closing. All Side-plate orders with Level IIIA plate backers will ship within 30 business days* of the GB closing. If you've had any previous experience with SKD GB's, you'll know we run an absolutely LEGIT operation. Our GB formula ensures that we have enough participation to get you the absolute best deal we can, while planning it in such a way that we don't completely overtax our warehouse team. Day to day, our warehouse runs like a well-oiled precision race engine. An ARFCOM GB usually means we're running near or at redline, which means we want to plan it out properly so everyone is happy. Don't miss out like those who missed out on our previous ARFCOM GBs- deals so good that we still get request emails for GB items YEARS after the GB close date. *Special Note: ALL SKD Body Armor sales are subject to our Body Armor Sales Policy (hot linked). Once you submit your paperwork, you are cleared for all future body armor purchases with SKD for as long as your submitted paperwork/ID's are valid. Please understand that as a small business that supports the livelihood of many hardworking American families, we have to take basic pre-cautions against providing equipment to individuals with criminal intent. The listed Side-Plate order shipping deadlines will be met assuming the required paperwork has been submitted and approved. If the paperwork arrives AFTER the close of the GB, the shipping deadlines begin from the date the paperwork is approved. With that, I hereby declare the "Interest-Phase" of this potential Arfcom GB LIVE! If you recognize this deal for the amazing opportunity that it is, fire away with any variation of "I'm in!" or "I'll take (number of side plates)" and we'll start tabulating. Thanks again to the ARFCOM Mods who approved this-- WE LOVE TEAM ARFCOM!!!

Looking at the pix of the plate, it appears that the plate is intended to have the 8" running vertically and the 6" horizontally. Is this correct?
