Epstein, remember when i spoke to you about mass producing some fender bracing for S13? I even thought about fabbing radiator cooling panels. Fabricating those parts took hours to make. Having a jig would be helpful, but that's me spending time and money producing a jig will be costly.
Well, they both went down the drain when I realized of how small of a market for me to enter as the big name brands and ebay sellers. The "demand and supply" theory came into my head.
Fearless, if you think entering this market by literally investing funds into a small market such as this, I wish you good luck.
The only reason why I would see to fabricate these custom aftermarket parts if the parts were priced well into the hundreds or thousands when it would take 2-4 hours to fabricate and little material cost.
Trust (Greddy) filed bankruptcy in Japan a few days ago due to lack of the sale.

Well the difference is that what I'm asking for here doesn't exist even in overseas markets. I agree though that these parts might suffer the same fate as the ones you made, though. Narrow target market.

Default be aware

some will say they will buy but when you finish the product then you only sale 3 of them,I think you need to test your product and research more on the matter.Theres a lot of options out there.Prices are cheap and good quality materials being use.If you ask me I would say build one that not only hold the suspension but to the fire wall to increase stiffness.The 240s have the alot of twisting when prom to chasis stiffness specialy in the front seccion.if you where to build one make it like a cross member type.
