    Lets just leave it at - you'll be seeing posts from my sn in the FS/Group Buy forums a lot more often. ;)
    Happy to hear this. Good luck with the venture.

    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?

    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.

    If you want cheap parts there are manufacturers out there that make fiberglass repo's.

    I rather have a quality part on my car that fits nicely and is durable.

    2 -iece would be more expensive wouldnt it? i'd think the cheaper you can get these, the better chances are people will pick em up

    Not sure what the 2nd half of that post means, but considering the mounting technique, I doubt I would be able to do a 1 piece design.

    If there's actually a lot of demand for a 1 piece design I could look into different mounting to support that design.

    2 piece is easier to paint if you want a 2 tone.

    I will stick with the TWO e30 Mtech 1 rear spoilers I have, Thanks...

    Love the ambition you have in trying to make something other than fiberglass however...


    ;)

    How about a time frame? I'm going to go to a yard in the next few days, there's an e28 there that might have one. If I can get a replica that has stock mounting points, I'd rather get that.

    x2 what Sam said.

    I really don't want to spew out any numbers as of yet since I don't know volume or material costs.
