Default Interest in "BGRA" type mod

I have been looking into this and as it seems that this quality mod is no longer available new, I was thinking about making one.

I will first make one for my car and then possibly a couple of other to do some testing/fitting. Then do a first run.

But before this happens I am wondering how many people would be interested in this mod?

For those that own this mod, what might you change?

Thanks
Tim

The main problem you are going to run into is the market is not big enough, which I would suspect is the reason the BGRA went the way of the do-do. The only market is WS6's and T/A's with WS6-ish hoods.

Also, doing anything decent looking for under 50 bucks is next to impossible these days.

In the end, I am going the way Tainted is going probably fab my own up and hope it looks ok. If mine turns out jank, and you put together a really good looking one for between 50 - 100 I would probably buy it.
