So I need some real feedback. I have recently posted my son and my first product on the for sale section here. I own my 3rd 914 which I rescued from a lot in Georgia several years ago. I am in the process of restomodding it. Given it was a dead car it was perfect for me to modify. My first realization was it needed much better lighting. Which sent us down the road of 3 d printing parts. If I could get some feed back regarding our front turn signals i would appreciate it...I only got one response which I feel was more focused on professional pictures and presentation. Again I dont have the resources to make a big glossy website. This is an honest venture and we aim to make several parts for the 914 in the future. Check it out and please give me usable criticism.

As mentioned in your original post/add, I think at this price point, customers will want a nice professional smooth finished, not the classic layered 3D prototype finish. Maybe that's just me... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Marketing is a big aspect and nice pictures on a shiny painted car would help. I personally think it is too thick and stick out too much from the body in this attached picture. Too bold, missing finesse. Now on the side markers... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) sorry to say. Many people remove the side markers that were an after thought for the US regulation market. The car was designed without it (EU spec) and I personally think it looks better without. So if one would work toward a replacement part for the side marker, a flush and discreet design might a better direction to take. My $0.02, since you asked for feedback/comment. Good luck in your venture and thank you for offering new options! |

Good luck in your venture and thank you for offering new options! What finish would I put on that would appeal to everyone? It's a part that can be finished by the customer. Sidemarkers. I can make them about 1/4 inch thinner if you drill new holes in your fender. The whole thing is 5/8 of an inch thick at the thickest portion. |
