This is my personal opinion, i've seen many many items talked about, and slightly produced, but nothing really in the making and clearly finished. I am all about being different with my lincoln and all about being the first one to do something or to maybe do it better or more worthwhile, who knows, i just like to be different. I commented about the rear spoiler and never got responces and other stuff, never got a private message about the idea or person in reference. If it is maybe someone footing the bill that you need, that shouldn't be so hard to accomplish. What you are trying to do is make 8 hoods and sell them for 3 grand or so, me personally, just like the guy above said about the track record, me personally, i rather not give someone 3 grand of my money to sit and see if its gonna happen. I"m sure this forum has a handful of really organized and really serious people, so why not approach them directly instead of posting a group message that from the previous postings seems to get no where. Just in my personal group of friends, we have 7 mark viiis. In this forum, i have no clue who to message or who to ask and get very broad inquiries on my post, yet no real user friendly interaction. I run multiple sites, internet security and what not and just my personal opinion, i'd work with the people who are really interested and see if you can get something going. Some people here have car clubs and sponsorships and everything that could take on the whole 8 hood project themselves if need be. What if someone wanted all 8 hoods exclusively, or 20 hoods exclusively, then you'd be the manurfacturer for this particular small setup, instead of waiting for 8 different individuals to musterd up the courage to give you 3 grand to see what happens. I'm interested in everything aftermarket, yet it never seems to get developed. Just send me a message when everything is ready or in development or add me to a list of friends or something, because the want for products is always here, guranteed.
