Hi guys,
I'm going to the local urethane supplier tomorrow and will likely pour a set this week. I'll post em up in the for sale section when I'm done. I'm looking for feedback before I pour a larger batch.
Thanks,
Ed

OK. So I've run a heating duct to the garage so it isn't so frickin cold in there. I've got a pair of rears on the way. I'll probably put them up in the for sale section on the weekend.

I think what makes originals priced so high is that they're rare. Idk about $90 for just 2 of them with no hardware though. That's just me though.
Other than that, they look awesome.

Thanks Waldog. It takes me 3 hours of my time per pair. What's killing me right now is the cost of urethane. As for mounting hardware, I could probably scrounge up some screws and speed nuts. For the brackets, I was thinking of just using plumbers strapping. It's not as rigid but it should do the job. Then there's the business of all the 3M double sided tape that has to go on.
Unfortunately, even at $90, I'm barely even breaking even after factoring in the cost to make the molds. Anyways, maybe someone out there will want them. In my mind, they're much better than the foam originals.

I bought mine at the junk yard for four bucks haha. For mounting it I used the 3m tape on the bottom piece and drilled through the little piece of the inside of the fender and used two nuts and bolts per side. The tape is holding uP well with snow and the rain. Came out to like 3 bucks for the hardware on both sides

LaMuerte - I've got those too. I also have the wedges for the s4 frontbumper. I was going to tackle those this summer. I don't want to mount them and have them just waste away since they're rare.
