I don,t think you would get much support.
Custom fenders didn,t get much support last year 
Obviously, since I never even saw it come up, my bad.
Well, as more young guys are picking up these "old cars" I'm sure there'll be more of this 'type' of stuff made. Only can hope. 
You'll actually probably see less.. If you haven't noticed, the Kids Of CEG like to talk things up, then back out when it comes time to front the money.. This is why about 10% of group buys go through, and Spring Zing's don't get the turnout that were expected.

heres the pricing for the parts the reason why i ask is i am paying to get the molds made just like last time but with a different manufacturer.
500 for two front door panels (interior)
450 for fenders both front fenders
i dont know about the trunk lid, i was thinking about doing the rear reflector but i think a one piece with no reflector would be cool too. reverse lights???
300 for cf side skirts.
fenders would weigh about 5 lbs since they will be 100% and 5-7 layers thick. i wonder why those cheap honda hoods are so heavey and the 800-1000 dollor hoods are like 5 pounds?? ive thought alot about those ebay hoods but they are too cheap.
i know a trunk lid will be super light weight but dont know how much.
side skirts ould be like 2 to 3 lbs but id hate to hit a curb and have them get destroyed.
anywhere i can get a cheap pre 98 lid so i can get a mold made from that??? i have a 98 and the reflector would be a problem unless i just forget about it and shave it to the trunk.

i think the only thing you would realistically sell would be a cf trunk
I know the guy who made the Survivor kit was looking for interest on it at one time and there was interest but then he just let it die...

I do know some fender lips are a MUST. Any business would make good business with those I think.
I want those!

This is a bad time of year. Christmas, yes that emptying of wallet for many, will likely curb (or their wife will) any spending on themselves. Not that I have any experience with either holiday or wife (thankgoodness) but I noticed that with my line-of-work.
