I like the idea, but with a CF edge thats embedded in the bumper is something you have to take care of like it was your child. If it gets ruind the price to repair the lip and repaint the entire bumper woudl cost probobly 3 - 500.

Nobody would like an OEM CF lip? I have an interest thread of that with only 3 guys on it ha.

i honestly think making a bumper might be much for a one man operation, but a carbon J's style lip or other options may be better.. and easier to ship

Ill post updates soon

And as for a replica lip... Maybe in the near future... But you know what they say about cheap stuff :\. I wouldn't be able to do it so cheap because put it this way.

If we made it and sold it for $75 dollars what kind of quality would you expect? Now this goes for any company that make parts.

Take into consideration, to lay this up in a mold, pull it, trim it, sand it, test fit it every few min to make sure your not sanding too far, repair any minor imperfections if any. All this work would take at least (start to finish) 2 hrs. On average fiberglass shops charge (for great quality) $75 an hr. So if it takes 2 hrs then thats $150. Thats not including materials (which would raise the price some) and then the name thats going into the product (addds on more)

And thats what it takes to keep a business running and keep the workers (besides me) interested instaying.

Say if we were to charge $30 for our garnishes. We wouldnt put the time and detailed attention into each garnish trying to fix all the imperfections or test fitting and trimming.

Id like to say the quality ofo ur products are top notch. Now Im not saying every single piece is perfect. Of coarse everybdoy make their mistakes and once every now and then we will accidentally miss something or skip a step which will leave a customer with a product that does not fit as it should, or needs more prep work to paint then it should. But of coarse if that were to happen we would offer a refund or a new product with out having to ship the old one back.

I hope this opens a window for some people giving a perspective of what needs to be taken into consideration as far how the product is priced.

If you didnt want to read everything I explained then this will sum it up.

Like they say, if its good its not cheap, if it cheap its not good.

I miss spelled a few things I assume so pardon my grammer!
