TOM'S (magic) lip creation posibility..., how many would be interested? Options

[malpaso]

Since I have found how expensive original genuine TOM's lip is I have started with searching some possibility how to reproduce it. Yes I'm talking about fiberglass or kevlar copy of this lip. So my question is:

If I had genuine lip and created form in one local company how many people would want fiberglass or kevlar replica of that lip?

I do not have any numbers so far (price, shipping costs, nothing)... just idea and would like to know interest of you guys here. According that I may start searching for all information and numbers...

okay, i've mentioned this before, but i'm going to cover it again.

Cloning our bumpers is something that i dont even dare to do. There is just way to much activity going on.

Next, The price of fabbing them (even in bulk) is going to still rival companys selling them for what we feel is so expensive.

supplies alone is going to run like 50-70 bucks, (quality supplies; atleast) it can be done cheaper, but they'll last like they were done much cheaper

Then you gotta think about shipping, Boxes, stuffing, How are you going to keep it safe in transit? Foam-Peanuts? newspaper? Plus those big @ss boxes.

Then the freight charge to ship it.

This will rack up 200-300 really quick. Now for personal and local persons, It'd be a blessing. Truly would.

Just also remember how much work is going to be involved in this. One bumper could easily take 2 days if you dont have a systematic plan in place. And if you dont do a good job, There will be no end to the flaming that'll take place.

I've been working with FG for years, and i wouldn't dare mess with em. Not till i have way more time on my hands.

But if ya wanna, then good luck, and more power to ya. Have fun
