What I would do is take it to one of these companies that can replicate and see what type of deal they can cut. I would say a majority of the Lexus enthusiast people will spend around 250 tops.

Same here, I think the space between the spoiler and roof should be enough to set it apart.

Members I've removed or edited a few posts asking sagikun to produce a bulk of these and sell them. I'll ask you not to repost them again as it puts his forum account at risk if proceeds down that path without first becoming an approved forum sponsor.

He absolutely CAN show his off, tell you how to make your own and where to get the pieces, do a DIY, or even make them and sell them through an approved CL vendor if he doesn't want to sign up to be one himself.

Thank you for your understanding, back on topic please

ill take that as a compliment dave. sorry guys you heard the man. and if i was to do a diy i doubt anyone would do it. i found out how much it is to get a cast mold made. around $1000 bucks. so im not sure if it be would be worth it.. well see

thanks again for the input guys. this project took a couple years out life with all the chemical exposure and stuff. but it was worth..

Looks great. IMO fabricating something yourself is a much better experience than purchasing it. Especially if it turns out that good. Well done man.
