Cool Eoi Xr Pods

As most would be aware the REDXR8CHICK has move up to a T3 but before moving on some bits fell of her XR : one of them being the front lower air dam pods which were the fiberglass repos. So just had a chat to the ACRON man that supplied the CAI s for our group buy and he seems to think he can repo these from plastic at about half the cost of the glass ones,so around the $50 a pr. mark (subject to numbers) so if you would like this to go ahead just post you expression of interest here and I will see what sort of final price we can come up with ...
Cheers Whoosha

That's demeaning. We'd normally say something like "lol im gunna look like a rhysieboyy sayin this but i dont see any difference in those 2 pics".

Thanks Gang Bri Bri is going ahead with the first pair, from that comes the mould they will be extruded over that from what I can figure out , then the rest is easy :togo: the plastic will be reasonable hard, a bit like the originals , So I would go for a self tapper style of fastening , that way if you do give them a nudge they should just snap off . anyway say tuned,will get back in a week or so with the results
