ram air & spoiler for ta

Hello.
I am in the process of building a working ram air for the third gens like whats on the 4th gens. How it attaches would be rivets into the existing hood. Also the spoiler on the back of my car is ridiculously heavy ( rubber wrapped kind ).
I am also making one of those out of fiberglass.

I was wondering if it would be worth making a mold out of, or just a one time deal. Do you think anyone would be willing to purchase the ram air for 120 bucks? And the spoiler for say 60?

If you sell a good quality wrap around spoiler for $60 you will have a ton of customers. I would be one of them.

its not gonna be rubber wrapped around, its gonna be made of fiberglass, but have the design of the wrapped ones. And yes it will be good quality, i picked one of the highest grades of glass and chopped strand, the same with the ram air.

Re: ram air & spoiler for ta

If u can build a rear aero spoiler for around $100 you will sell at least 50 in the first month.AS long as u keep the stock size and utilize the existing side mounting clips.Count me in, when do u want my money?

Re: ram air & spoiler for ta

Interesting...pics would be great.

As for the brake light...it's a seperate peice from the actual aerowing so making the mold of the aerowing would be sufficient and those of us that have the light or don't have the light would be happy. For the prices you're talking about you'd get some orders and once your name got out you'd probably get a ton more.
