I would buy it if the inlet were larger. I would also prefer that the inlet started further towards the front so the slope is longer, I am thinkin it would be able to draw more air that way, same theory as when you port your intake/exhaust ports. Looks real nice though. I will buy if you can make the changes.

There is not alot of room under the cover so if you wanted a larger inlet be prepared to do some cutting of the headlight support. It was designed to fit without any modifications to the headlight support. but I will look into the starting point of the intake slope.

Thanks

I will be making them for a while so if you want one in a few weeks I should have one, I have a few built and ready to ship and will be building more this week.

Shipping cost depend on you location but it will be actual shipping charges. around $5.00 - $10.00

And yes the price is with your cover as a core.

PM or Email me if you want one.

I know that theres not alot of height to work with, it just looked like from the pics that it wasnt very wide. Anyways, I am assuuming that you are stamping actual covers, not fabbing them (explains the core requirement)? If so, I guess you could stamp the ones we send you, then get the same one back? (To save the painting process)
I am very interested. Good price.

If you can make the cutout wider and longer then I'll probably get one. What's up with the price???

Perez sells them for $10.

There is not much to it..thats why its only $ 10.00 dollors
and people will pay a reasonable amount for it.. so why
not..?? ask an arm and a leg, and nobody will buy the
product,or service...the customer picks up ALL the shipping,,to and from,,and furnish the part to be done.
I preform the service,send it back to the customer COD
un-painted,,easy,,i also can do different shapes too..
THE DUCT CAN NOT BE VERY LARGE,BECAUSE OF SPACE
LIMITS..

I will be able to look at enlarging the opening tonight. ...On the cost differences to Perez`s $10.00 light covers and mine, I am not sure how he does his but mine takes a while to make, cutting it out, welding in new sides, supports and sanding and smoothing the bondo to a factory look then priming. All I know is it takes time to make them and for $75.00 painted its a steal, just the paint materials costs almost 25.00. the fiberglass one above is selling on ebay for 150.00 unpainted.
