Duster Rear Window Louvers

Okay I've been traveling and just got back and saw this thread was updated.. I just finished reading your paragraph above Leanna. Perhaps Bob could enlighten everyone to the process of his fabrication techniques as well as R & D? It's hard for most anyone to just plop down a $grand$, and "waa-la" here's your louvers (in this case).. I do understand that it takes money to get the Jigs made, set-up the suppliers for raw materials, figure the amount of time for fabrication, set your price, figure your burden & overhead, and most of all what kind of margin can you make. I think to ask so much from so few is why the "crickets" are chirping.
Could we also ask are these being made from aluminum, mild steel, lexan? Or are they being made from fiberglass, plastic injection, or some other materials. What kind of finishes is he going to put on them, will there be anchor points to the window or, are these going to be slip overs?? Are these for the sides only, or all 3, the sides and the rear window? I also realize and know he has a very limited customer base with these items. Knowing it will take approx. $20,000.00 to develop and out of a 100 sets half may be sold, the other half will sit in his inventory, he needs to cover his inventory cost of 30% over the next year, which anyone who contributes will be covering his inventory overages. I'm not knocking what happens to develop a product (been there done that). I just think in this case with one individual on here (this thread) taking some time to do the side window louvers in fiberglass and getting the mold correct, then offering to make as many needed, and then sell them unfinished. Is this something Bob's company could do? Or is he just looking at the back louvers only? Everyone who is truly interested needs details, and answers as to the length of time, and what to expect on any kind of return, unless forfieted as a buyer only? I Thank You Leanna for getting in touch with Bob and helping the cause.
Please don't take my questions in the wrong way, alot of people just don't know the processes of new products from conception, design, engineering, manufacturing, trial & error, finishing, advertising, sales, and finally, shipping. I just think before anyone would want to commit, details would be "very much appreciated"...
