Anyone interested in a Carbon Fiber UIM cover

I e-mailed Chuck couple of weeks ago and asked him if he could make a copy of the Feed carbon Fiber UIM cover. He said he needs 20 pre-paid orders of $150+ shipping. The Feed version is $250-$300. I of course will get Jasons approval for the group buy, but just wanted to gauge interest.

Anyone interested?

If you want more I can take 'em. I just didn't have a close up on my labtop...
The cover bolted on in 4 places but I had to cut one off to make it fit. It still doesn't fit like I thought it would but it looks good as is.

Thanks again

I am pretty certain a patent cannot stop production of something like this. You can't make one exactly like the one that is patented, but you can make one that has some difference.

Saying that nobody can make another version because of a patent is like saying that nobody else can make any kind of wheel because there is a patent on a basic wheel design (round, with bolt holes).

Besides, it looks like a pointless POC that will just hold more heat in.
