If done properly, it's gonna cost $50 in materials alone...


Don't waste your time OP. You'll only sell a handful at most.

I didn't say I had them, I wanted to know if there was a big enough market for them for me to start making them. I can make one and price it out for you guys. It might be in the 40-50 dollar range because its small and wouldn't require that much work.

You call that small? It's long and curved, and has many holes and shapes.

Go for it! In for pics. In the meantime, I'll enjoy some popcorn

Lol I didn't mean small, I meant to say thin-ish. I just wanted to know if there was any sort of want for it. I might do it in my free time but right now I have too many projects that I have to get finished first before I move on to anything else.


Thanks for the replies though

it definitely would be cool, profitable I doubt it.

I'd like to see pics if you ever do one, and I totally understand not having an idea on price- without any idea of quantity.

If you could make it serve any purpose besides race inspired cosmetic enhancements then I'm in.

^ This is useful, I'm in for one of those (for a stock bumper though ), owning a white car, this is annoying because it scares off the little ricers when you have fuel/exhaust residue on your bumper.

It'll be even harder for them to believe it's just a bolt on-n/a car and not boosted

Instead of all the holes being drilled it could be smooth for better aerodynamics?

Send me an email DJCFabrication@gmail.com or just a pm and tell me what you are talking about. I have an idea of what you are talking about. Just not the specifics of the stillen.

Good luck thetorp!

Its great to see some people still trying to innovate. But is the windshield cowl that long plastic piece under the windshield wipers? That's what I am thinking, but I want to make sure.

But if it is, then this really is a subtle mod! haha
