A little pricey, but it looks real nice. Glad to see someone has an entrepreneurial spirit

I'm going to see if I can't talk to my boss and see if we can work a better deal on the watercutting charges for those aluminum panels. I'm hoping to be able to drop my price down to $50 as well to better compete with the CF craze, lol.
And Sir Rupert Hobo....of course anyone can Home Depot their stuff and I won't argue anyone on a budget because I sure am on one too! lol

Yeah, CF is just not needed... and I'm not really into the whole CF craze.
It looks good, and If I had an FMIC, I would definately buy... but I have the black plastic pieces in place, and don't exactly need it. Looks like a great product though. The RX-7 label is a nice touch. Maybe when I go SC'ed and IC'ed I'll buy
EDIT
See... this is why there are NO products made for the FC!!!
Some guy, ON THE FORUM, creates what looks like a quality product... and IMMEDIATELY everybody starts jumping his **** pumping out more products from other companies for cheaper money. Honestly... If I were buying something over 50 bucks... and I had a choice of buying from a company and buying from another RX-7 guy and/or on the forum... I'd spend the extra 10 15 bucks to help support other RX-7 guys. Just my way of view on it. Yeah everybody wants a good deal and save money, but damn.
White Seven... Kudos to you man for creating a product. I was right there with Santiago when he was trying to sell his CAI. (www.aztechrotary.com). He comes out with a 'new' product for the FC, and immediately everybody looks for cheaper ones, and nick nack every part of his design.

You've made a unique product, which offers form and function and is easy to install. Hell, I am willing to bet that a lot of people on this forum are willing to drop 50-65 bucks on this panel, rather than spending half a day measuring--going to the hardware store--re-measuring--and again back to the hardware store--then cutting and fitting
keep at it, I think a lot of people would like to have this mod

poor_red_neck and zabo21........thanks for your support, it's really appreciated! I'll keep making my stuff and if people want to buy them then that's great, and if they don't and can find an alternate source (Home Depot or some other company) then that's great for them. I don't have a company, nor do I run any sort of home business. I am merely making these parts for two reasons: people that want more choices for things for their car, and obviously to make some extra side money.
On a good note, I did talk to my boss today and I told him I was getting creamed by the other company's prices, so he agreed to work with me on lowering the charge for watercutting the radiator panels. Once I get the numbers worked up and finalized with him, I'll drop my prices and *hopefully* it will be a bit more competitive.
Thanks again to everyone for their opinions (for, against, pricing/company options, etc).

Keep it going...
Looks like a very nice quality product in the pics... I strongly am considering buying one, but I have some more functional issues to take care of and I still have the stock ducting in place.
I'm interested in both of the products that you've had on Ebay recently... the oil pan baffle plate looks like a good part too. Any chance you'll offer them as a package deal?
Question: Do you have a template to cut them for the FD as well?

Great news! I got the final numbers worked out with my boss and I was able to shave off about $20 in cutting costs!! I've updated my eBay listing for it so it's now starting at $45. My website pricing will get updated later tonight when I get home from work. Hopefully this will please the masses, lol.
DoriftWolf: I don't have any kind of package pricing on the items right now but maybe in the future if things pick up a bit more and I am able to buy larger quantities from work. I don't have any templates for an FD yet, but I'll work on that soon. I pretty much stick to FC stuff since most times I can just walk out to my car and test-fit something I make. Not having an FD would leave me "hoping" that something fits after I cut it.
