Ran across this on ebay and emailed them seeing if there was any chance to make some for the tibs. He said it costs around 4000 to get everything ready and have a mold. So around 15 buyers would need to be ready just so they would start.

Thought this might be something for you show guys out there, because this is NOT GOING TO MAKE YOU LIGHTER.

Please PM me so I will get the email and respond quickly.

Thanks
GBS
If this needs to be somewhere else plz move I was not sure where to put.

good quality it looks like but i bet our roof wouldnt be anything like 600 . that part if for civic hatch(probably most popular tuner) they will sell hundreds of those with the right advertising.

with all the advertising in the world that guy would probably not sell more then 5 of those period. his cost would be thru the roof to R&D and produce this product.

definatly cool ass hell and i would rock one for like 600ish but the chances of him A. making the part and B. pricing it reasonable for our community. are lil to none

High quality, vaccum formed, but it's not gonna happen here at that price.

4000/15= 266.

But you won't get 15. You'll get maybe 3 or 4 that'll pay at once.

That's about $1000 a piece.

And no offence, but I'm not paying anything to make my car heavier.
