    Well i don't mean skimp on the quality too bad, but eurostop already has theirs at 300$, and even that sems a bit steep. Also, since used ones ( granted you have to modify) go for 150ish it seems.. it might be hard to sell if its too steep

      How I see it - it's a 20 year old BMW, and they need to be treated accordingly. I'm going for quality at a fair price - I'm just as poor as everyone else on here, but the one thing I splurge for is my car. I don't want fiberglass anywhere near it.

      If you like how the pieces turn out, and you want a solid part that fits nicely without modification, then I'd love your business.

      I'll try to get some rough price quotes up as soon as I can.

          +1... eurostop's price seems artificially jacked up.

          I don't know how much work goes into making a mold... would you be able to make simpler-shaped things like the BBS spoiler and Kamei splitters for a reasonable price?

            Haha for the sake of me getting to bed at a reasonable hour, I don't even want to get into the details of what would be possible if these spoilers turn out the way I'm picturing.

            Lets just leave it at - you'll be seeing posts from my sn in the FS/Group Buy forums a lot more often. ;)

                      Subscribed...Mtech 1, E30 or E28, is still titties. If reasonable I'll jump.

                      No longer stock ride height, rolling as low as a daily driver in New England should without worrying about breaking an oil pan. :up:

                          If you consider that the original when it was last available was well over $400 that price is not so bad. A lot of works goes into molds and such.

                            Update:

                            I'm starting to find out that the rubber compounds may be too expensive and sky rocket the price.

                            In general, prices are up in the air until I actually pour the first mold and find out how much material is actually used per product - but if I can use a less expensive, quality material, why not?

                            I'm going to look into flexible urethane plastics. The material cost is about 30% less then the rubber compounds. Ideally I'd like to get something with the material properties similar to modern day car bumpers - hard enough to sand but flexible and shatter resistant.

                              sounds good, can't wait to see how it turns out.
