True. And I do hope this happens because I want one. But purely playing it from the devil's advocate point of view. I guess the point I'm trying to make, is whoever is tackling this project head-on, need to know that they're doing this for the love of the car (and what they do), since from a pure marketing perspective, you're not going to make a metric butt-ton of money.

I like the passion, I LOVE the amount of innovation that happens here because of lack of aftermarket support. Just don't get blinded by your passion, that is all.
