guaging interest Hey guys,
going out on a limb here, but i wanted to guage interest in the community on some products I've been making in my spare time, trying to decide whether there's a market here and whether it would support me becoming a sponsor.
give me your feedback, good, bad, indifferent, just trying to decide if anyone likes em, and if so, if you would venture a guess on how much youd be willing to spend on em, that would help immensely as well.
enjoy
Auto Pedal covers:
LS1 Camaro engine "clean up" kit (black FRP, just like the ss/ram air hoods):
I also made all the diamond plate stuff in the pics, battery cover, fuse covers, egr block of cover, etc...
Wideband plate for 98+ camaros:
LT1 fuel rail/fin covers (customizable):

cool, glad to hear guys! i havent done any save for the camaro so far, but ill try to get a TA from the club to let me borrow their car and make a prototype 
i know price is always an issue, im a college student so i know all about tight budgets lol.
NOW, just to be clear , because i know im walking a fine line, these are preliminary numbers, they arent quotes and im not trying to sell anything at this point in time, this is strictly a feeler.
That said, im thinking in the neighborhood of $70 a set, plus shipping, so probably around $80 shipped to the states. as of right now thats about three hours of my labor plus materials, so i feel its pretty reasonable.
please let me know how this sounds, like i said, this is preliminary, if i find there is a high demand for these, i may be able to lower the price some.
thanks for the responses btw, love the feedback!

The frp is just a hair under an eighth, probably 3/32. has to be fairly thin to bend and what not. As far as the heat build up, i honestly think its negligible, they're cool to the touch even after an hour cruise to car meets, that's the farthest I've driven with em on though. I'm sure its a non issue though.

looks like theres quite a bit of interest, let me know how the price sounds, and if its something majority are still interested in, ill start talking to the mods/owners very soon about sponsorship rates.
thanks for the input guys!

not offended in the least man, i definitely wanted honest feedback! i know different people dig different things, i dont care for polished/chrome stuff for example, so i know exactly where youre coming from just out of curiosity, what are your feelings on the frp stuff?

Clean up kit in carbon fiber would get my $$$... but im also aware that its alot of $$$ to fab up anything carbon fiber...
Advice: make a very precise stencil and use it for everything you cut out, so all the kits match up.

It's frp, and -m-, it would be sweet in cf, I'm not sure it would like the bends tho... there are sponsors that do wraps that might work tho, emblem pros I believe. And I definitely made a template already, I have a custom workshop, so I do this type of repetition a lot, thanks tho man!
