I can see it cost 3x-4x to make it correctly out of carbon fiber. That may be a little overkill though on the price to the consumer. I know carbon fiber is the best looking, lightest and strongest material we can practically use today, but for this part in this application it would be a waste.
I very seldom get people complain about the price of BIG MOUTHs (there is nothing like it, full customizability and performance backed up with engineering data etc... etc..) but those who do are expecting to pay 50 dollars for something. Those guys are usually very young and this is their first car.
I did NOT raise the price on the BIG MOUTH (for ANY platform) despite the new finishing process, which adds quite a bit of effort to make glossy and pretty like that. I wanted to remain at this price point to ensure everyone gets to enjoy this amazing product.
