Sending 4 sets of a product without any deposit to 4 people he doesn’t know from Adam, sounds like a stand up kinda guy to me. He shall prove his worth shortly by this. The members who gets the products can provide feedback to this thread as well. Mel your going to prove this guys honesty or exploit him now lol

Regarding then Applique’s. I think if you made them with the same Ford and Raptor logo imprinted into them, might be best. Almost just like factory. In ways people like to keep originality of there truck, while customizing it. Of course one day Ford may contact you. But you would have had to produce and sold a lot of these I imagine.
Yeah I agree stock trim seems the way to do it. Thanks

El Snag is as standup as it gets. Anyone that says take the product first and pay me later on any of the apps you choose from can’t be a scam artist. Dude came in here with a good product and a guarantee. If that’s too high a risk than that’s a you problem. Can’t wait to receive mine @EL Snagadore

The Matte finish isnt an issue as I have a set of race fairings done in that concept. But what are the door handle caps?


@EL Snagadore Awesome!! In the video linked below, dude is holding the part that I'm talking about... not sold individually by Ford I'm told but rather as an assembly. They have stick-on fake ones for sale around the internet but I'm not interested in that janky $#it. Just let me know, man! Thanks!!

Can you get any interior pieces produced? If you can offer these at the same great pricing, I’m sure they would sell. Keeping in line with what Ford offers on there carbon option. The shifter would hard to do and also the cubby storage door. But the doors, dashboard above the glove box part, and maybe offer something new like the Sync screen bezel. The real aftermarket CF is super high priced and stick on simulated CF is just junk that lifts off eventually. Something to consider.

Well the only thing is that for every piece I have to send them an original piece to Austria or Italy where the two factories are, then they have to make a mold of it, then ship it to the race shop, then ship it to me. The reason I sold these so cheap because we charged everything to the to the team. I definitely wont be able to do that on every piece. So I have to see how much it is for an original piece, shipping and mold/CAD charges, For example the applique is 1150, Shipping will probably be 300 mold and CAD design 400-600, shipping back 300, shipped to me 100 and each applique probably 500 after all that. So I will have probably 2600-2700 into getting it made the first time. I am going to get more hood vents and side vents made since they are already done the upfront cost, sell them, put that money into getting some new items made and see what happens. I wish I could have the team foot the bill lol. This would be real easy then. Anyhow the guys who got the ones on here there items are boxed and ready to ship Monday. I want them to get their items and be happy then I will figure out the next step.

Well its pretty cool of you to lay out how the whole thing works in getting CF parts produced. Gives me some insight to the whole process now. Lucky for you the team footed the design bill, so you can sell these parts at a good price. I see the problem now with producing more. You would unfortunately end up having to sell these other newly produced parts for a bit more to make any worth while profit. To some degree, you can do a volume business with having the best prices period on quality parts. I would go out on a limb and say nothing will sell more for a Raptor then the the Hood and side vents.
