Need your pricing opinion. Let's call this 'market research':
I am working on the raised front fender emblem for the refresh I am doing on my '97. The photos are of a 4th gen. prototype I've made, but still needs refinements and improvements (already underway). Importantly, just like our amazing vehicles, I think it needs to be "over-engineered". So I'm prototyping with marine grade vinyls, and various epoxies, and polyurethanes.
I want it to last as long as the truck does.
So here's the question: What would you be willing to pay for a near perfect replica that is as good as or (is likely) superior to the original? Is there a point at which I price it out of the market? Of course I can dial it way back and make them cheap (to make, sell, dispose, and replace); or I can build them like the Toyota engineers would. I own multiple LC's and relish these vehicles and their engineering every day....as well as these great resources like Mud. So I ask for your feedback.
So please spare me any snark, I want your product & price opinions.
Thank you all.
