Gathering Interest - Instrument Cluster Gauge Bezel

OK.....I'm new on this board, but not new to the Protege scene or boards in general. I'm an AMM on the www.msprotege.com board, and have been selling the following product for almost 1 year. Currently I'm doing these pieces via hand fabrication, however I'm about to go into an agreement with a plastics molding company to produce them on a much larger scale to meet demands. Here's a pic of what I'm refering to for those that are unfamiliar:



Anywho....what I'm asking for people to do is give me an idea of what type of interest people would have in these if I had them in stock and readily available (currently that's not an option...and I'm backlogged with hand-fab work). If you haven't posted on the msprotege.com board, then post here. I'm looking to run GB pricing around $100, and then non-GB pricing (i.e. retail) would be around $125 +s/h. These would fit all 3rd Gen Proteges, MSPs, MP3s and P5s. Here's a link to my GB thread: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82871

Mods - I'm not starting an FS thread or anything, and my reputation on the other board speaks for itself. I'm just looking to bring this to the entire Protege community. At this point I would just like to determine if there is enough interest in this piece for me to warrant taking the financial risk with the molding company. Thanks!

That looks pretty peee-ump in silver. Unfortunately, for me, I've already got a dual pod for the A-piller.

*heavy sigh*

^^That's cool...I don't want to break any rules.... I just want to gather the interest of Protege owners that may not be on the other board(s). If I'm in the wrong though, just let me know & I'll get you whatever info you need. Thanks for the heads-up! (and yeah, I checked that out earlier with the GI thread.....sweet!!)

copy that...I'm just plain old Leadfoot on the msprotege board. but that screenname was taken over here. CF is very much a possiblity that I plan to research when I get the mold taken care of. Also, I'm learning that almost any type of finish could be put on them...the guy I talked to even said Chrome could be done.....but I have yet to hear back from him on the available options.

Once I have a mold I'll probably contact Gemini Composites to see if they would like to create a CF skin for it....and then we'll go from there. Thanks for the responses guys!

I think you'll find this forum is full of a lot of supportive people who like helping out smaller vendors like us!

Speaking of which, when are you going to sell the WOMP SC kit?

OT, check my womp thread...the first 3 sponsored kits are being built now. After they return their results from dynoing everything will go into full swing.
