    THE LIST:
    Based on 1st come 1st serve basis. If you respond to me that you are still 100% on board I will keep your spot on the list, anyone who doesn't respond within 5 days will be bumped to the bottom of the list and someone else will be bumped up on the list. Price is $200 for entire set + mounting hardware. I will warranty my work, if anything breaks I will send a replacement free of charge. I am still checking fitment, but as far as I know they should fit all 2nd gen Tacomas.

    Updates to progress on the 1st sets will be posted here.

    Probably put 10k-15k. A few road trips, some mild off-roading and they are fine. A few rocks hit them and made small scratches in the finish but no cracks or chips of any kind. I will warranty my work haha, if it breaks I will send a replacement for free.

    This seems to be the best deal I have found so far. If anyone else finds better please share, but based on this, I would think $200 for Carbon Fiber version is pretty damn fair.

    $200.00 for left and right sets plus mounting hardware sounds fair considering it's an aftermarket product of premium material. Anymore and I would start to question though.

    Here are the latest photos of the molds I have been working on.
    This is how the gel coat dries, its pretty much like liquid plastic and dries as hard as ABS pipe. In other words, its a bitch to sand lol.



    Here is after hours of sanding + polishing.

    First sets came out great. The molds work perfect. Just need to trim and drill and polish it up a bit. Those molds were a bitch..... glad the hard part is finally over. I should get a lot done this weekend. Stay tuned...
