LETS get real...
lets start off, ive been doing fiberglass work for 15 years and counting....the stuff is cheap to BUY, yes, BUT the time and labor spent to have a finished product that resembles a perfect match to the original when finished is exactly what your paying for.
i also could pump out fiberglass cladding out of my garage and sell it for the price of a gallon of resin and still make profit...hell, id even include custom colored dye in case you wanted black, red, green or what have you....
you and i both know that buying the stuff is cake...hell, i can go buy a 50 gallon drum for $100 and make enough pieces to cover all the trucks that attended KC2000...... but actually working with it is not easy and does actually require some skill and crafting to have things come out decent.
your going to waste your time finding a complete set of cladding just to ruin it when someone has already taken the time to make the molds and do the job right..sacrificing HIS OWN cladding to do the job no less...
Paul has done an excellent job in recreating the cladding and is selling it at a fair price. Add up the actual GM costs of the full set of cladding and you'll soon notice that $1800 sounds pretty damn good for parts that are soon becoming impossible to find.
im not trying to bash on ya, but its just pointless to try to do something over again just cause you dont like someones price.
plus, how would you like it if you busted your ass making a product for everyone and then have someone else come up and try to undercut big time your hardwork and efforts?
ive been working on a fiberglass project for the syty, but have yet to open my mouth until i have a finished product so no one can take my hard work and steal it from me...
again, my opinion, but just think about it before you go and rip off someone elses hard work and dedication...
you dont see anyone else trying to rip off phil chivers with his propshaft loops and hood struts, Brian Green's and Todd A.'s Ultimate Chip, Bob Galla's Stainless Steel Turbo/IC Tube.....
why? cause they took the time and dedication to make something for SyTy owners at a fair price that would benefit us as the buyers and them as the sellers...
like i said... my opinion....
