Well i'll make as many as people want; not limited production
Supposedly I should have the set in-hand by the end of next week (supposed to be in the states and shipping to me by Jan 24-25); but i'll know more by next week
And like i've said in past posts, once i get them, the time to make molds and produce some will be pretty quick
i'm excited!
Most of my extras are the M Coupe only items that no one thinks about like the side window trim and gaskets etc that only cost about 10 bucks.
And most of the things I am buying now are things that I couldn't afford when I got my car 10 years ago.
Regardless, the things that you are accusing me of buying up are things I fully intend to install on one of my 3 Z3s at some point in the future. I have no plans to re-sell them.
And 350 for a new bumper seems very reasonable to me, especially if you are paying someone to fix and prep a used bumper. The new one is going to be much cheaper in the long run vs some beat to hell junkyard part.
True. It was cheaper to go new and OEM than aftermarket for the bumper. Used usually have broken mounting tabs, expensive to ship and take a lot of prep work. Aftermarket are usually fiberglass, ill fitting and again, expensive to ship. Used plastic is usually a losing deal unless you find one locally in your color and in good enough shape to bolt right on to your car or if you are capable of fixing it yourself.
I bought a used radiator support, advertised as undamaged, which in reality has slight, unnoticeable damage until you start bolting things to it. I should have tossed it in the recycle pile because the hours spent trying to make it right have far surpassed the $100 savings.

OK, I finally have an actual solid update; according to my tracking information, I should receive the ACS splitters Jan 31.
Lots of things can affect price, but I'm shooting for at or below $200, so about 1/3 the cost of the real deal
Dropping them off to be molded up next week.
I'm going in for a front bumper repaint soon so hurry up!!!!
So awesome and worth the wait
