The production run of twelve Tacoma II.VII kits sold for $245 including shipping...



...and the profit from sales covered all of my design, prototype, dyno runs, material, manufacturing, gaskets, mounting hardware, shipping, and PayPal costs...

...plus I got a free prototype spacer for my truck out of the deal.

And yes, it's the same strong heavy dense high temp nylon that the intake manifold is made out of.

I'm totally happy to break even on each project, and to move on to the next one. The Yaris I.V will likely be the same price as all of the material and machining costs are similar.

The tooter intake manifold did the same. I sold enough complete manifolds, build it yourself kits, and individual parts to cover all of the production costs, and I ended up with one free manifold to run on my car.

These are the perfect mini sized projects for me, as the market is really thin with just enough interest to support one short production run. Then I go to the next idea.
