Default Opinions Wanted!

Saw this on ebaymotors. If we made this in carbon fiber, would it sell? Definitely retro with a 911/Eurotrash feel, but probably functional. Thoughts? Opinions?

I think it would be an acquired taste. Maybe making the carbon wing to bolt up to the carbon trunk? I think the investment in time wouldn't pay off in the number of sales. I think carbon fiber first Gen fenders would sell more?

Hey, I got one of those sitting next to a box with my platform shoes and silk low button shirt.

LOL

I'd pass on that.

To be honest, stick with the 67-69 stuff you have now. 2nd gen guys are too cheap to afford the fancy stuff.

Saw one of those in the eighties on the 2nd gen, it brought back that memory. I dont care for it though, so, no for me.

It doesn't look that bad! It's a very nostalgic look though.






I wouldn't reproduce it for sale though. I don't think there would be a market for it. I could be wrong though. Maybe check on the European boards maybe?

I do not think that spoiler would be a wise product investment for a business. Haha.
