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...

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
