Well I almost won an Ebay Crowl but I didnt want to pay more then $100 Us and it sold for $115+ $25 shipping. Also, this was for an overlayed CF Crowl. Which by the way I read a few post earlier this month on here about people complianing about that saying " Ohhh it's overlayed and that it was junk" and so on. But after loooking at alot of the CF stuff made the CF is overlayed over fiberglass so if it was layed over the OEM crowl what would be the big deal?

Now, the question, What does everyone think is a reasonable price for the Cowl and cargo cover?

I checked on a replacement cargo cover from mazda.. they wanted $350+ tax. I almost laughed myself out the door.. one of the BB members here (rukick I think sp?) made a really cool cargo cover out of birch wood covered in vinyl. It even had a piano hinge through the middle of it that allowed it to fold up in a A frame position. I think he was selling that one for $75 or so. Material cost of it was probably less than $40. (a fair price for the work involved even if my numbers are off) Basically what I would consider a fair price for a CF cargo cover would be no more than $175 -$200. This is from my vantage point as a buyer. I dont know if you could produce it for this and make a profit or not. And I am sure there are plenty of other people that would be willing to pay more for it. But thats my input on that topic

The wiper cowl.. $75-100 sounds fair. Again though.. I dont really know the cost of production (man hours or material costs) I probably wouldnt buy a wiper cowl for my RS.. if it bugs me enough.. eh.. I can always take it off and paint it. Now if I had a MX-3 that was just for fun and not daily commuting.. I would likely get one. Hope this helps.

Cargo cover and gas tank door would be cool. I really like that one another member built with plywood and vinyl. You could probably overlay it with carbon fiber wrap instead of vinyl and it would look good.

whiper cowel and rad support both sound very nice to me.. that and some kind of projector but i don't care what the projector is made of as long as its durable and produces good lighting

I like the thought of projectors, Id def buy a set if it produced better lighting than stock. They will probably be a lot of work and not worth it to you guys though.

My idea is a rad support that also has a latch for the hood holder rod thing for guys that have a CAI and removed the stock air tube with the latch for the rod. Could that be possible?

Definitely interested here. I recall seeing a pic of Luc's MX having a CF rad support and it looked great. Would be a nice engine bay dress item plus my stock one is rusting.

CF radiator support and front lip (stock style) price... maybe around 200-250 for the lip and 100-150 for the radiaor cover.
