All good points to ponder...

Of course we could try the route of swindling good people with outrageously high priced... cheap products? Perhaps that will catch the eye of a rich business man with $30K burning a hole in his pocket.

Just got my ears perked by the vendor on this. I had emailed him to thank him for honering the auction @ 5.19. Little confusion on his part, but ended up sending him to this link in the forum which cleared up what I was talking about. If you've been to his Ebay store you noticed he deals in quite a few Polyurethane products. Long story short he's shown interest in our no longer available rear diffusers.
Not saying he's going to look into producing them, but the price we have been paying definately caught his interest.

Re: $5 Dollar Front Lip
From online PDF file - also think there is an instruction sheet included..
Before you start, please make sure you have the proper safety equipment to avoid potential harm to you and your
vehicle.
1. Clean out the oil stain on the product. Using the clean duster cloth to wipe up the surface of the product with thinner. Then, use the duster cloth to wipe up the product again.
2. Sand the product in the water with No. 320 sand paper. Then, rinse it again.
3. Painting the product with the PU epoxy primer.
4. Mending the surface of the product after the primer’s drying (fill up the pinholes with polyester auto-body putty until the product looks smooth)
5. Painting the top coating of PU series.

C. Installation.
1. After the front lip spoiler is prepped and painted, double-sided tape should be applied to the indentation on the inside of the front spoiler. This surface has to be CLEAN and DRY for the tape to properly adhere. A residual-free cleaner is recommended (e.g. Wurth ™ Clean-Solve) to prepare the surface. The surface of the vehicle should also be prepped and cleaned for proper adhesion. For BEST
results after cleaning, use of an adhesion promoter such as 3M™ should be applied to wherever tape will be used. When applying tape, make sure that tape is smooth and wrinkle free. It is best to use multiple small pieces on long sections rather than 1 long piece.

They have you wet sanding with a 320 grit paper as your final prep before paint? This is insane and will result in a rough, low quality paint job...
