J's racing STYLE front lip

Ok guys. I love this lip. This has got to be my favorite aftermarket front lip for the USDM front bumpers. But i know that all of us don't want to pay 420.00 for the front lip plus shipping from canada. What I hope "someone" can copy this lip in one of these 3 ways:

1. fiberglass with the carbon sides (original)
2. all fiberglass
3. all Carbon Fiber

I just want to know anyone who would be interested in this lip alot cheaper then the original Price. All "someone" would technically have to do is make a MOLD of this lip then making more of them.
If there is a demand for this lip i'm sure i can find "someone" to make them.
Please post reponses and let me know if this would be a good group buy.

Here is a picture of what the lip looks like.( picture style updated soon)

Let me know.
BJ

heavens...i clearly don't know of what rule you speak of. hahah ummm... this is my theory on the situation. If "someone" doesn't make a copy of it...a big buisness will market it and will be in direct competition with J's racing. It would either force j's racing to lower its price for the lip to stay in competition or suffer in the sales of the other company.

In japan everybody copies evryone's style. for example blitz made a wheel. a few year later volk make a wheel very similar. does this make Volk a bad copy? No because everyone loves Volk racing. This can be found is duplication of bodykits, wheels, and anything else out there. More examples would be the Nardi boss steering hubs. Momo came out with the exact same thing. Then Nrg came out with hubs....what followed that? Ebay hubs made from china. same "style product" style but made different because:
A. it was cheaper to make
B. demand for the item
C. people figured if it looks good and works for a fraction on the cost..why not?

so now that i found "A" because someone can make the product... we move to section B. Who would like one of these.
These would be as "Flawless" as the CF engine covers i have.

It's all good having a base Fit. Just set it off with some wheels and springs and you're GTG! I bought mine for its simplicity and rareness. I think there are a lot of Sport Fits around more than Base Fits. I'm waiting patiently for that right lip kit without breaking the bank.

Sounds like a good plan...steal a design another company spent R&D funds on and makes a quality product so someone here can make a lower quality product while at the same time saving time by not being original.

Having said that, it's hard to stomach spending almost $600 for rear spoiler (Mugen)...you can't deny the affordability of the knock-offs.
