I'm making new insturment cluster covers

you know, the plastic piece that protects the gauges. Mine was missing and my kid reaked havok with the gauges. Well I am about half way through the procedure and I am very happy with the results. I should be finished in a few days. If it works completely I am considering offering this service. perhaps ten dollars for the work not including shipping. I guess the question is there any interest in this?
