Actually............I just talked to Gary, he has SOME parts left but not enough to complete any bars, he has to have parts machined/cut again. He is willing to make the bars again but will only do it if I have confirmed orders for 5 of them.

So if you guys really want a bar, they will be sold at the original pricing, call and order, if we get 5 orders then we will run them again, if not, it's not worth the time.

i agree on validity of these statements. fender braces are highly popular for the miata from bossfrog and a few others.(miata was last car)

There are fender braces available already, obviously, just get those. I don't see the market being big enough to justify us making a product that is already available from someone else.

Yes, the harness bars will be $475, I can't expect Gary to build them again and offer to do it for free, which is why they sold so cheap to get rid of them last time. We have one order for one now, four more guys are needed.

Dave,

If we can't get 5 @ 475 will you considering lowering the price/margin, or just not build altogether? If it's like 1 @ 475, 3 @ 425, 5 @ 375..?

I know there's not a lot of value for you to do this, but I think it would mean a lot to the few in the Evo community who appreciate the innovation Buschur put into this product.
