3. We need something to mold from (that we do not have)
In short,
Now we have 13 enthusiasts - great (but how long and to what price level will you stay)
We have a manufacturer - great
We need to decide whether full cf or gf.
We definitely need something to mold from, any ideas / volunteers?
- Interest is certainly here, on a broad scale. 13 people in one day... many people don't log on daily so expect this number to rise.
- The copies are priced at $250 because the originals were $250... if people will pay it, why charge less? Remember, Chrysler charges anywhere between $50-$80 for a plastic bin that goes in place of their rotten cupholder design. It's not a matter of what costs to produce -- it's what the manufacturer has the ***** to charge
- I'd volunteer a set, but I don't have a set. Anyone out there? .
I'm with Les -- price can wiggle a bit, given the rarity of the product. Fit & finish is paramount, but I'm not as concerned with weight... so if this needs to be a carbon-wrapped fiberglass piece, so be it. I don't expect Vörsteiner pre-preg quality for $250... I'm realistic. That being said, if the price climbs over $400, it won't sell well -- because I can buy the fiberglass reproduction for $250 and have it wrapped in CF locallly for roughly the same cost... no group-buy needed.
