They may look nice, but $600 for some extruded plastic is just nuts.

Make them in carbon fiber and I'm game! and I mean real carbon fiber not HYDRO carbon crap!

Everything he makes is not plastic....It`s a composite manufacturer that specializes in RTM, Resin Transfer Molding

I have either owned or own ACS products. I agree $600 is High for these. Joseph if your listneing how about a group buy with discount. At $350 I would buy. I dont even think the Side Vents, Trunk liner or Hood vents run $600 do they. Plus you have shipping from Canada.

Will wait and see what Joseph says...If the price is right would put on mine

CamaroI · 10-01-2014, 03:17 PM

Looked again and not to many other items on the site $600 + shipping is $35. Then if wanting a local shop to install/paint looking at another couple of hundered. This could turn into a $1000 mod quickly. Not sure worh at that price point

Dizzy82 · 10-01-2014, 04:01 PM

$600.00?

TwentyTen2SSRS · 10-01-2014, 04:04 PM

Not sure if it's worth it? No way in hell it's worth $1k or even $600 if for some reason you could et it painted and installed for free.

People these days supporting these prices is unfortunate.

hammdo · 10-01-2014, 04:52 PM

I have hex vents and painted was way cheaper. Maybe Steve Hines would do them with a group by?

hammdo · 10-01-2014, 04:54 PM

After all its supply n demand with no competition...

TwentyTen2SSRS · 10-01-2014, 08:00 PM

Agreed can always get what people are willing to pay for them. So stop paying $600 for these already. Rant over. Take care all!

Also agree. I hope they have a group buy for 350 or so.

Still waiting for Joseph to reply here. I dont plan on purchasing until price goes down. Lupe what kind of deal were you able to swing?? Any at all?

Even if you had a group buy with shipping would be $385 if sold at $350. Then painting and installation Im still thinking 200-300 depending on shop. Install alone more than 30 min. If the shops time is 75-100 bucks and hour then looking at around 600-700 for this mod. Just rough estimate even with a group buy of $350. Not sure worth it even at that price point however they do look good.

There the only ones out there. Don't want them because of the cost don't buy em...Joseph is doing what anyone in business does and that's charge a market rate. If the market changes then I'm sure they will come down. He also has to recover his development and mold costs which I know are high because the first design didn't work due to variance on some cars around the gas tube.

hammdo · 10-04-2014, 02:59 PM

Here is my initial idea. Gonna get my carbon fiber and molds out and see what it takes.

Back:

Front:

Need to verify the measurements and remove the inner wheel well to make sure...

Gonna probably bring the lower 'fins' closer together near the outside -- with the foam, I can work it around to get the mold right.

Not for the faint of heart for sure -- ;o)
