Are there any good ways to make some money making evo stuff?

A couple of posts have got me thinking, EvoDave paints head lights, and dafarmer69 is making sway bars, since i'm being laid off of my temporary job that I took because I was taking a year off from school, and i'm not going back to school till at least january/febuary, is there anything that people want that isn't too hard to make or paint or whatnot?

I know i'll be bored and money twards an evo would be nice =P


Maybe ill start building computers for people again, but that was kinda slow and not very profitable

I bet if you could find a way to make nice, but less expensive UK style badges, that would work out well. Or less expensive vortex generators.

you could build something that replaces the clock. maybe a turbo timer, or a sequential shift light.. it would have to look like it is supposed to be in there tho or else it will look corny.

EVOLUTION IX chrome or black trunk badges would make some money, cause nobody sells them yet.

unique/nice/well made gauge panels are always popular. Find someone to make 'em cheap and market them.

I don't know about making stuff for the Evo but I am starting to pay for my upgrades by surfing online during my spare time and getting paid for it. I found out about it from a fellow member of this forum and know of several people on here that do it. Let me know if you want more info.

It depends on what your skills are. If you are a machinist then you can make tons of aftermarket parts for the Evo.
