Carbon fiber stuff

^ That’s right. The spring and mechanical components would have to be outsourced to a machining company that specializes in that sort of stuff. And I know right off bat this would not be worth the effort unless we had at least... 50 made at the same time. Because to make the metal molds for some of these components (I’m guessing. I don’t know how the handle is built) would cost several hundred dollars or over 1K in total not including the actual replicating of the parts. So if we got 5 orders this would not be possible.

But if the handle is built in such a way that the parts are able to be taken apart. We might just be able to replicate the body and fascia pieces in carbon fiber, and you can use the OEM mechanics and they can just be put together.

If it cant be done one way then theres another way. The only thing is getting secured interest to go forward.
