Guys, I made one of these as a prototype for my Fox as there were no viable options available on the market that are designed to fit the Fox Mustang brake fluid reservoir. Keep in mind that this was my first prototype and small modifications will likely be made.

After



Looking for your thoughts as to marketability and what do you feel would be a reasonable asking price?

I personally would like it more if it was an actual cover, like a smooth covering similar to what originally covered our coils.

Nah, it kinda looks like you have a toaster sitting next to your manifold.
*Edit* But on the other hand, if I was making them to sell, maybe I'd give it a go (the selling, but not for personal use). There might be a market for them with the ex-ricer crowd. I'm not bashing you, just my personal opinion is all.

I'm more into function over form. My comment is that I can't see the fluid to get a quick visual on fluid level and condition/color.

I'm sure you could sell some of them. Personally, I don't care for any type of billet covers or stick ons. I know what is underneath. If it is flashy, I want to see the actual part chromed, powdercoated, painted or polished, not just a cover.

but I am probably not the market you are after.

Watch out....Since you did all the work and posted a pic the cover will now be sold under the Granatelli/UPR name in no time at all.
Too soon?

Yeah, Joe's wife will buy the first one in her maiden name and then a week later it will show up in their catalog. Like that never happened before......................
