KY Cargo Cover - What is it worth?

I have a cargo cover, it's not perfect, but with a little tlc it would be very nice. I also have the speaker covers (hinges), and two support pieces (one with the light, and the other one).

I'm interested in what it is worth.

I was also wondering if it would be worth taking and getting a mold made out of it (vacuum molding), so that fiberglass or carbon one's could be replicated.

Here are some pictures of the cover.

well concidering that only a handfull of people on this forum have ever seen one of those, and even less have one i'd say this is worth quite a bit. prolly gunna be hard to put a price on it since its so rare, i'd say get a mold made and stick it on ebay. let all the kiddies on there fight for it.

I'd buy 2 of them for that price.

I'm not trying to sell it, just wondering what's it's worth?
Also wondering what a fiberglass one and/or a carbon fiber one would be worth.

I was looking into carbon fiber material and it's expensive, so it would be costly to make them the right way out of carbon fiber without fiberglass backing, etc. Right now I'm just throwing some ideas around.

your best bet is to prolly just stick it in your fc and forget about it. the cost to reproduce it is most likely going to cost way more that you are willling to pay. and the chances of you gettin us cheap *** fc owners to buy a remade one are very slim. sorry if i came off as a dick, thats not what i was going for,

I totally agree, most of us couldn't/wouldn't shell out for something like this, I'm just inquiring.

I keep seeing a thread that is selling hid headlights for $799.99 a set (they probably are top of the line headlights). Just knowing that I could have bought a whole fc for $500.00 a few days ago, makes me think about people who put $3,000-$5,000 wheels on a $150.00 box chevy. WHY?
