ZG Flares in stamped steel or injection molded plastic
RebekahsZ posted a topic in Body Kits & Paint
Who would be interested in buying screw-on ZG flares in either stamped steel or injection molded plastic? I have purchased ZG flares from 2 different distributors and I have been shocked by what a minimal product I paid big bucks for. These flares look good in photos, but there's really nothing to them when you hold them in your hand then crack them when you install them. Seems like a pretty good product to make either as stamped steel or injection molded plastic (like a milk jug or baby slide). Plus, they are on back order from just about every supplier-there must be just a couple of guys laying them up out of fiber glass for the whole market. We are paying good money for pretty sorry product. I have a buddy who owns several businesses and he has offered to help me with production research. I didn't know this, but he says that injection molding of plastic is pretty expensive and that start up might be pretty tough unless sales were pretty high-volume. But, he knows of a stamping company that is operating below production capacity that might be interested in finding more work. Please sound off with your thoughts on demand for these parts both domestically and abroad (Tony D?). I'm imagining simple screw-on flares of the same profile as is now available that could be painted and screwed on in the usual way... If I think the demand is there, the next item would be patent research.
