I know metal stretches and deforms thats why and how you can pound out dents. FRP underbody tray would probably be ok also, carbon fiber would be expensive, but for either you have to make a mold, which isn't as easy as cutting/bending/deforming/drilling sheet metal.

^ yeah those are cool i guess...i would be happy with an on-dash pod setup though. i cant see myself spending money on that pod unless it was almost as cheap as 2 normal pods.

$1... no.... maybe $2 with free shipping? Ha ha! J/K
Depending on how good they look and fit up I'd say $50-150... maybe up to $250 if they look real nice. Carbon Fiber would be +$300. (prices before shipping)
But all pricing aside what would I BUY one for probably around $75-150 as it is just an underbody tray... kinda useful, but not exactly a must have...
Aluminum is more expensive than SS sheet metal I believe... I'd say the price to fab it up would be, 4'x'4 Aluminum sheet .040(3/64) thick is $36-ish, bending, drilling, cutting... I'd say $75 to make, add 50% Puts you around $100 bux.
Does that seem reasonable?

Not really. The materials alone are going to cost about $50-70, that's not including making it, S&H, etc. It will look really nice and be an A+ product none the less.

I think the only reason would be to produce one that doesn't have a logo on it, for someone who is going for a more clean look. Other than that it would be kinda dumb to waste time making these.

Brake Master Cylinder brace, a legit piece that can bolt in.
An N/A, or Turbocharged engine cover, I saw a couple members asking for that, its not my particular style, but those people would buy it.
Drop in cup holders, Put one in the center console in the big area for two, or if the AAS is removed, one could fit in that little rectangle.
Make a window switch package, that has the amplifiers
DTSS eliminators for the models that can't use it
Steering Angle Kit for the models that can't use it
Plexiglas or any other related material for a moon roof, like the rare model rx7
The aluminum undertray that was mentioned above
Euro lights for an FC, I know that its Hondalicous, but I'm just thinking of replacing the bulbs with LEDs, not totally making it white
Transmission rebuild package, I can't find one
I guess the word is "blue prints" for: Strut tower braces, Exhaust, Headers, and sway bars; I like the make things this simple instead of just buying it. This would help with how much material to get.
This is all my input, Don't think too much on all this, because I think it comes down to supply and demand. I hope it helps a bit though!
