Hard Question To Ask

[Eh_nigma]

Right now it's coming down to having to ask a hard question. But it's a matter of facing the facts/risks/cost of this project at hand.

As you know, this NASCAR project is, as far as I know, one of a kind. That has it's benefits, and also has it's costs.

Two problems are looming over this constantly: Rims, and front Bumper. The issue of the rims is more of money - with enough money down, someone will make the type/look that I want.

The Bumper on the other hand is the hard one. No one makes them. And I want one. The cost of making them, so far, has really brought this project to a grinding hault.

Input I need revolves around two issues: How difficult would it be for me to just make my own? (That's understanding that I will need to make a mold, but for a guy who hasn't done something to THIS extent yet, it seems like a difficult undertaking.)
The other option would be to bite the bullet, pay the cost. But the three places I've talked to about this are giving me quotes between $3400 to $9000 CDN.


Odd coming from a guy who knows that Custom doesn't come in a box, and it isn't cheap, but for a bumper to cost that much, when the AAS is less than a 10th of that...

Any advice out there is much appreciated. Thanks,

Ej.
