I bet with the right number of people we could get one of the ebay companies who are selling the knockoff CF oem spoilers to do the black series knock off for under $250 shipped. I'll email the proposal if enough people are interested. I know I would buy one.

with enough preorders and profits i am sure they can manage finding a donor spoiler, or picking up one at http://www.evosport.com/product/prod...ST.EXT.M09.R01 ... Figure the cost of making one might be what, $80? Let's just use $100 even for now and watch this...
Cost $100
Sell Price $250 (plus shipping for now lets do)
Profit per deal $150 plus shipping profit (we all know it's marked up from ebay)
So average profit at $165.
Say they can do 15 preorders. Thats a profit margin of $2475. Now take out that one they bought to model off of which is $1595. Thats still profit of $900 roughly.
Want to make it even more enticing. Say out of those 15 pre-orders we pitch extra $$ in to cover the donor. If we were to pay $350 each +shipping that would cover the donor and provide the manufacturing company with $2500 profit.
...and then there's labor.
I'm speaking jibberish.

I shot out a few emails, we will see what kind of responses I get.
Really if they already have the CF rear lip spoiler however, all they have to do is mold a little higher and more aggressive and they have it. It's not like they're mocking up an elephant trunk wheel spoke.

Update: I've been contacted back from one of the companies I emailed regarding the C/F Vorsteiner One Off spoiler. It was mainly a verification email or what I was looking for. Explained it a little more and dropped him my phone number. Will update more!
