maybe in texas, but in santa cruz the pipe they're using for the front and
rears costs about $400 for all of it.  unless i've been looking at
something like stainless, which is more like $1600 for all of it.  the
welding and bending can certainly come to $200, and powdercoating another
$200.  that's damn close to $850.

yes, i know peter, yes i like volkscafe.  unless he has lied to me (i
highly doubt that) they're really not making much on the things.  now, the
guy that sells them to vc might be ripping them off, i don't know.  i seem
to remember at least one other listee who looked into having these style
bumpers made up, and he was in the $600 range for the pair, mounted.

and stan, if you can get me pipe to that schedule, 4 8' pieces and one 4'
piece, i'll send you $150 for shipping, and my address...
