Then you won't be one of the people buying them. They're not supposed to be functional or give you horsepower, but they sure look good and they'll stand out at shows more than a car without them and maybe drive home with a trophy.

More to come.

Those have to be cut on a lathe, or CNCed.

We can not do that. We can make caps that go on the top of those with etching done.

It depends how many pieces the kit ends up being, and how much my laser guy charges me to get them in my hands. I'll keep it reasonable based on what it costs me.

We will also break this down into separate pieces after we get the entire kit done. This way, customers can save some cash and cherry-pick what they want.

Maybe

Imagine a Camaro engine bay all mirrored out. But, if you'd like to, you can paint them. I think after the final kit is installed, not many people will actually want to paint their's, but I could be wrong.

You'll never give up! One day someone is gonna make these things and make tons of money off them!

In the meantime, pick yourself up a set at Napa. They carry the correct size for our cars in polished aluminum
