There's plenty of money in it. What's the first price level for a traction bar? Like $299?
So you already gave out your cost of $80, but for cutting, welding, and painting it to be a complete working product, I think people would pay at least $140 for it. That's plenty resonable to ask.


Now that I've just put time in as a "business advisor" for you, how much is mine? lol

I'm definitely in for a set. Gotta scrape together a couple bucks and I'd like a set for my ef or I'll donate my car for the first ef bars made.
