This guy is on crack!
 
I'm trying to find somebody to make me a carbon fiber sunroof on my 85 Rex. So I've been E-Mailing this dude for a couple of days now and he got me a rough estimate and I wish I was sitting down when I read this.


"Here is the break down. This includes tooling cost and the finished part with class A clear finish, 5.7 oz twill weave carbon fiber ready to bolt in. Finished part should weigh well under 4 lbs."

Description Qty. Price/ea.
Sunroof 1 $2830
5 $1732
10 $958


$2830 for a sunroof, a 24" x 34" SUNROOF!

I can get a hood for $650. I figured it would be around the same cost as the mold needed to be made, but this is ridiculous.

OK, end of rant. Tell me what you think.

It's a free country. Find somebody who will do it cheaper.

Too true. I'm going to try and build it myself. Can't get cheaper than that.
