Default Front end support for more room? *PIC*

Hey everyone, I am possibly looking at making a bolt on front end support for our cars. I have done one on my car some time ago and it freed up a ton of room. It would be a bolt on brace that required no welding. Would you guys be interested in something like this if it was done at a fair price?
A few things, the one I have in the pictures is not a bolt on, the ones I would be making would be a lighter weight C/M tube that would bolt to the upper radiator support and the end of the frame. The upper and lower center is held on my dezus tabs for quick removal. The center tow hook would not be on what I would make.
If you would be into something like this, post and let me know, if the demand would be enough I will make them up for everyone.

Here is the link to some more photo's

I will absolutely by one for my WS6 car if you would like to make it out of CM with no tow hook. Even if no one else wants one, I want one right away. I have tried to get one like the BMR unit that Brett will not sell to anyone. I'm ready right now, PM me.

I have a Camaro and I want one. Dont need it to be so heavy duty without the tow hook but I will need it to have a custom upper radiator support for a smaller verticle radiator included though..

I don't think street driving is intended for this setup.
