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... This post has been edited by malpaso: Apr 17, 2008 - 2:24 AM -------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution... This is SS-four :)

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. -------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution... This is SS-four :)
