Would Anyone Be Interested In Mazda SPEED Replica::Pic Added

[posey92]

So ill be getting a mazda speed front bumper soon and working on a custom hood. More on the hood later but on the mazda speed bumper...I was thinkin of making a mold of it and making copies...I was curious if anyone would be interested in buying a replica of a replica. If so what would be a fair asking price for it...if any reputable members want to be the trial guy...preferably someone near by who can pick up...if not just pay for shipping to vouch for it. Id be willing to give u the first copy so as to let others know of the craftmenship.

it will be a hard sell at 300 dollars shipped to replicate them. Corksport had hard enough time selling them for that price.
Shipping will run about 110 dollars/each bumper

Fair enough...just figured id throw it out there since id seen some replicas selling for 3-500...well guess itd be all mine then:)....but the option is there if anyone gets interested....ill also post pics of the hood when I finish it...should only be a couple days....

I'm interested. The only places I can find online sell them for like $800-1000. Ridiculous! A cheaper replica option would be good to have.

I think corksport would do another production run if there were 5-10 units produced. Which would mean you'd have to buy all of them or somehow magically get people on the forums to buy in with you.
It would again be a hard sale getting more than 3 people interested though.

I'm not down to invest but, if you come up with a finished product I can swing by and talk numbers.

Ill translate. "You buy a ton of bumpers like $1000 worth and I might buy one, but probably not as life happens" Its not word for word my penny pincher is a little rusty

I mean im not trying to be rude but he obviously already has one. Hes just doing a favor and he wants to know if others would like one as well. Meaning people need to put refundable money up front so he can do the community a favor and get some copies made. Most companies aren't going to create something from nothing. They need to know there going to sell to even want to create the front fascias. Especially with corksport. Money up front talks...

Pretty much jus wanna find someone local that wouldnt mind putting up half material cost on first copy...this way u can install it and say yea its good...or feed back on what needs to change...so ppl know if they want one...ill be making a master mold to use manh many times so as long as someone wants it ill make a copy wont be 800 bux lol...basically cover material shipping and a lil bit for my time...I figure 400 max totl with shipping...I wont crank them out in a day just when I have time...

How much $ are we talking about for this? I am in San Diego and run the 15 a couple times a year... I'm a delivery driver so it would be thoroughly tested for durability . I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to convince my ol' lady we should stop by Vegas, I think that's where you are.

[posey92]

Im a delivery driver as well...as far as cost not sure exact yet. I havnt picked it up yet a friend is holding it at his place for me. But im figuring this 2nd one off the mold...first will be mine of course...just have someone here on the board pay half material cost and its urs...just want u to pick it up install it urself and drive...thisll tell me and otherz how is it is to install and the durability of it...

Sounds like fun! I will keep an eye on this thread for updates. Whenever you get a number, post it. I will start putting money aside in preparation. . Also, post pix when yours comes in, if you can.
