Well guys, for the good news, I can proceed and make all the ones required.
Now, for the other news, they will cost $185 each, as they require 24 man-hours
to manufacture each one, L. or R. @ $7.70 x hour, and besides, the vents need to be painted inside and out.

Materials, no charge, as minimalistic. Shipping will also be slight, in a flat rate box, probably $15.

I am not including into the price, the cost of the mould making process.

At this time, we will make 2 sets, one for myself, and one more for Don, who so kindly donated the set
for the mould (this one set is free for Don, as per my policy for parts donors).

Just as a clearing point, being well aware they are not inexpensive, it takes the same time (man-hours) to make a set of bumpers.
My view, and also a good friend's view, is if you need them you do, and if not, don't.
How much is your Coupe worth these days? I mean, your everyday VW dealer x hour rate is $200.

Consequently, if you find them too expensive, I will not mind at all if the people that expressed their liking towards the vents,
will wish to back out from their initial interest. Never any hard feelings.

If you are still wishing to purchase a set, I will require a deposit of $185 (50%) per set, the sooner the better, as if this project flops,
I need to continue paying salaries, and not continue making vents.

Bottom line, please send via P.pal, friends and family, to: alberto.guirola at gmail dot com

Kindly email me after the deposit, and include:

Your mailing address, telephone number, and any preference you might have, as long as they are black only:)
Payment due when I arrive in California with the vents (as many as we manage to make), by August.

Regards, Alberto

PS. When sending deposit, Nicole Guirola will appear on Ppal (my wife, the cashier:) )

4 sets available. The original moulds are starting to deteriorate, and I do not have a solution.

Is this the production end? Unless I find another set, it is history.

Regards, Alberto

Hello Bill,
I think Don will take the 2 sets I have, I was mistaken, they are only 2 not 4.
You can have one of course...:)
I am happy the airdam did fit after all, nevertheless, still puzzled, as both versions do fit.
Kind regards,
Alberto
