Somewhat good news. Peter (VIS) quoted me $180-$200 shipped for the 99spec lip in carbon fiber being that it's 2 piece. That's right around the same price for an OEM. He also told me that he can make the lip ONE piece and it'll be considerably cheaper. Polyfiber or FB lips will be around $80-$100 shipped. Again, these are just quotes. I'm getting a final number either tomorrow or the next day.
Also, pricing on the carbon fiber door sills and replica FEED headlight cover are pending. The door sills will have the raised "RX-7" logo. w00t!

Just to throw this out there...
I recall a cf headlight cover Feed-style selling @ Rotary Extreme for a while in their monthly special section with no bites (not there anymore). I think the main turn-off was that it would have to have custom mounts attached to secure it to the headlight. I forgot the price.
Also, Attihun already sells cf door sills for $225

Last point I think might be good to know, is that a 1-piece lip is much cheaper to make, but much more costly to ship.
G'luck, and lemme know what happens with the 99-lip gb

They come in a white color and need to be primered and painted, just like the OEM ones. As for shipping a one piece, shipping costs won't be any higher. The overall price will be cheaper.

The door handles I'm still trying to work out but frankly, a GB for that is still aways off. Now, judging from the responses, a CF/polyfiber 99spec lip is in higher demand. Anyone interested in an R1 lip in CF/polyfiber? Also, what would you guys rather have; a one piece or two piece lip? Like I said, making it a one piece would be cheaper.
The headlight cover will probably be made of either FB or carbon fiber. The choice is up the GBer.
There has to be atleast 15 people each item to get a GB going.

im interested in the FEED CF Headlight Cover and FEED CF Door Handles. I am also interested in all the Badges. The three above i definatly want, and depending on the price of the CF Door Sills, that might be it. Ill pm you to confirm.

CF door handles, would they be whole new pieces or some kind of overlay? Can we send in ours as a core? Come on, one of mine is about to break and I need and excuse to take it apart and fix it. 
Also, the CF door sills, will they be the larger sills(like the aluminum ones) or be closer to the stock size plastic ones? Would they use the stock type snaps for install or have to be screwed/taped down?

The CF door sills will be closer to the stock size and I would prefer them to have the "stock type snaps" but they may have it to be screwed down. Again, this is all going to be worked out in the coming days.
p l a y j a y- If you can get atleast 15 people who are interested, I'll set one up.
