Buy the cheaper sh** an you will see why i charge what i do for my pieces.... good luck with what ever you get, its your money.

Here it's $80 an hour for CNC mill time. It would take about 10 minutes to set up and 30 minutes cut time. Of course they will charge you a full hour, so $80 total.

I'm not fully understanding whats going on with in post. It seems like IKR is offering a set of Lexan engine covers for a certain price and some of you guys are putting down the shape and price? Is that whats going on? I was offered a set of side windows from Mercie-Me for a price and shipping cost which I agreed to. Then a set of glass engine covers which he was going to give me a price on which I am still waiting for. I have PM Merci-Me numerous times and have got no response. So I'm guessing he doesnt want to sell them to me? Which is fine, I'll survive. But then I see him dogging IKR on his Lexan and price. I don't feel IKR has to justify his parts of price. Its great to see another option and if you want to buy them great. If you are trying to criticism his parts and price go back to MM. I am so new to this Lambo building thing I don't understand the politics thats going on. But I have been building cars for a while. The more parts available the better. I'm just trying to build my car....batbuilder

Guys, let's keep this simple, when someone offers and quotes a price for a part that you believe is too expensive, you reserve the right to decline and not purchase it. You can contact the seller over PM and if you can bring them down on the price privately and make a deal, awesome.
I fundamentally believe that the comments made about the quality of a part are made to benefit other buyers, however they can be taken out of context or provide a basis for others to wage a comment war on that person or drive business in another direction which is wrong.
We are all entitled to our opinions and please remember that there are those that can be just as sensitive about comments as there are those who can become ruthless and intend harm (I haven't seen either extreme on this site yet... THANK GOD! ::toothy)
We have the buyer / seller rating system in place so let's give it a try and let the opinions of buyers and sellers be based on actual transactions "weed out" anyone that is not delivering on what they are committing to. I would expect that any negative comment on a part be backed by a purchase and personal experience with that part and any concerns with mistakes or misleading advertising sent to the seller first via PM (give them a chance to realize their mistake) and if not resolved, send them to me and I'll take this up with the seller and request for those corrections to be made or make them myself.
Everyone please remember that this is a builders site and the buying / selling aspect is only part of the hobby. I've seen the buying and selling or parts. projects and services ruin other sites. If it comes down to it, I'm prepared to remove all buying and selling content from this site which would be a shame since it is a important part of the hobby. I think that this original post and comments are pretty minor and it was the perfect opportunity to get this on the table and address it openly.
Thanks,
Chris

I'm just wondering why a window set costs much less

Please work this with the seller in PM.
I think it's a valid question as a potential customer but might be taken the wrong way by others or if you have no intentions of buying one.
Thanks,

This is the reason i like Mar Resistant Lexan over glass .... plus its lite weight

(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b138/italianknightrider/lplexanmarresistantscratchresistant.jpg) MarGard ...extra cost ,cut on a cnc machine ,not a jigsaw/hacksaw & or blade .then the edges was bull nosed = rounded off smooth by hand ...this explain my cost ,last its shatter proof
-
I didnt understand a word they said... but someone broke the engine bonnet glass and the car had to be towed away because that made it stall in the middle of the road....
and then the police came and arrested the car for obstruction?
no idea... but for sure that would not happen with lexan...
problem is getting DOT to approve poly carbonate in vehicles, it isnt about breaking its the toxicity if the car goes on fire and as well if someone is trapped good luck getting them out by breaking the window. presently the Gallardo rear quarter windows are polycarbonate but that was approved only after it was shown a person could not be rescued through that quarter window... just posting some info... :)
-
all of this makes you want to stop building, this is suppose to be fun!
-
It is fun, but its also a real world out there... you may be the safest driver in the world with the safest car... it does not mean joe blow crappy driver isn't going to play Murphys law on your tuesday afternoon.... all scenarios need to be thought about, even the ones we don't like to think about... that is the only way one can attempt to be prepared.
and the DOT make those rules for that reason.

I'm integrating a small gun safe in my center console. My Springfield XD will fit in there nicely and be at arms reach. W:)

My dog ain't in this fight, and I am not trying to fan the flames, but if a question of why they are priced higher than a window set is valid, then I feel that I have two more legit questions. If $255 including shipping is way too high, what should they be priced at and how was this new figure arrived at?
-
I don't know the price of lexan down there but up here it is far from cheap.
A 4x8 sheet 1/8"runs about $120. Thicker just doubles the price.
The shape of the rear deck lens does not really allow for nesting so there will be a lot of waste material.
Cutting lexan beats a blade to death so a few may be needed, the edges will need to be dressed or sanded down then flamed.
If a contour is part of the design there will need to be a large surface arc made as we'll heat the entire lens in something large enough to contain the lexan and form it to said arc.
Package it up and ship. Seems like a few hundred is hardly covering costs to me.

I absolutely refuse to comment in a thread where they couldn't even be bothered to spell the heading correctly............
...... oh ****

The original post was nearly two years ago. That small tift is over. Water under the bridge.
That being said, I think IKR (and anyone else for that matter) should charge whatever they want. If we don't like it, we have other options. I personally don't think it sounds like he is gouging. I have seen replica parts that cost more than the same OEM part. We all have to buy what makes sense to us. It is really no big deal.

Could not agree more. You either want it and are willing to pay the asking price or you should message the seller and try to work out a deal. Complaining about the costs in a post can be taken as disrespectful. Asking for someone to clarify what is included etc is fine and could be helpful to everyone when done respectively.
You always have the option of buying from another seller, making it yourself or paying 100X more for an original part. ;)

very well said, No Bull.

Well I could hardly remember that but I think I would ask a question like that for education purposes not to put anyone down? Thought it was very odd that it would be taken that way especially years later lol
Since then I have purchased lexan louvers AND windows for very fair prices, not to say that I will use them after all but I have them.
I don't normally ask about something I'm not interested in buying but obviously when there are multiple people doing this it pays to shop around. I am aware now there are times when pming is appropriate however I had a lot of problems getting responses that way so it wasn't really a method of communication that was on my mind. I do apologize.
-
No worries man. I don't think anyone is upset. :)
-
no problem , my only point is the LAST POST OF THE AVENTADOR engine bay in the video, had it been shatter proof Margard lexan would not have broke ,everything is O K ,i like cnc cut lexan ,other like glass ,everyone have their own opinions and i respect that.

Tallon,
I do not think you need to apologize to anyone. The only thing you are guilty of is asking a fair question. It was "Taken that way" by me as a very credible question and I used it to add credibility to my questions along the same lines. I did this only after seeing that our Moderator had also deemed it a "Valid question". Thought about sending this in a PM, but decided hat I wanted the Forum to see this.
