I had the bumper released for over 5 months and so far only sold 5. Before it was made, there were at least 200 people saying they want it for sure, if it's made, they will buy it.
If you worry about a bunch of people will have it, I don't think you will have to worry too much. Even though it's a lot cheaper than the original one, it's still not like a $150 made in China bumper that everyone can afford.
We try to make something that's high quality for 2nd gen people. I already know I am not going to make big money off it. Actually I might just lose money in this case. Same thing on the GTC bumper for 2nd gen. Sold only 5. Lost $3000 right there on the mold cost. KS style hood, sold only 4. Lost $3000 right there also.
It's the same thing on the Attila 2nd gen hood. I think after a couple of months of organizing, they only sold 10.
If you guys really want to see some nice 2nd gen part, I really need your support by buying the bumpers. If we can't sell at least 20 of them, we can't afford to invest money on 2nd gen parts.
We don't want to leave 2nd gen people out of the picture but reality is that money doesn't grow on trees. Help us and we will help you.

chuck,
im highly considering this, depend son the money situation.
my car's body is shot right now and im planning on doing bodywork and paint in the july time of the year. Depending on paint and bodywork costs this will probably be on order from me. Right now im looking at around $3k for the paint and bodywork so hopefully i will have enough, ive always been a fan of this bumper.
Also do you know the difference in ground clearance versus the stock bumper? i dont want the front bumper looking 5 inches lower then the stock sideskirts and ****.

i do want to know the price of the setup too tho, but if this many people are interested i might just back away.
"oh dude, make it, how much, great to see someone making things for
the FC"
then when it goes up for sale 2 people buy one.
