You want to knock off something that alot of people is interested in.
Make some DCW gauge pods!
Geez....I bet you get at least 15 people on here with up front $ for them. (Myself Included)

i'd like to see how this turns out.. i'm sure chrisc would be down to make copies of this if he can find a lip to make a mold out of and if there's enough interest.

this site needs another member like doGGy who can make us custom parts or replica parts.. i want rhd dcw gauge pods!

Definitely dead... and it's because of exchange rate of CZK -> USD. That means if I pay for work of local company 6200CZK it's 442USD now... and just few months ago was 270USD. Yes you understand right. Few months ago it was "cheaper" because of strong dollar and weak Czech crown... now that exchange rate is history. The same this project. I do not believe anyone would accept 442USD plus shipping.

depends on who you are and what you are selling. I would easily pay more money for something truly worth it!

Here we go, Just got it earlier today.

Not yet really fit on yet, would wait for next week once paint my car.

The quality is pretty good thou, but I don't like the smell of Fibre Glass, make me sick.

Cost me approx USD$170 for pick up, 1 week ordering time, the limitation of length of a air parcel for most of the countries are 1.5 meter, this thing exceed that, so have to cut in half, then need some magician or some expert to do a surgery to reinstate it

exactly Vince smile.gif I just can not believe you can cut the price that low! I would never be able to produce it that cheap... It's just impossible here... and about that shipping. It's true again. That's why for some countries shipping would be killer (because only chance is Fedex or DHL) or you must cut it... that one and half of meter is annoying frown.gif

No he is saying that he has to cut it in half to ship it. Then whoever buys it has to put it back together..

yea i got that...but what im saying instead of having to get them cut, just have them made into splitters. instead of making the entire front lip, start to round off and go down teh bottom of the bumper where they air holes are located. have the middle cut out, and there ya go, you have toms magic splitters. i think it would look really awesome myself.

^ i get what you're saying. that'd look pretty sweet. but that should be up to the buyer. you can choose to have it put back together or made into splitters as you please.

hmm..that might look pretty good..the main appeal of the Toms Lip is the sides anyway imo..so splitters would be pretty cool. If it's possible, I'd take some.
