I thought the same thing when I first saw the price. $200 shipped? Really? I see how he is building them and know that this type/style can be executed at that price, but barely! If you take out $30 - $70 for shipping and materials depending on the shipping location, at least $50 in supplies for the enclosure, and with at least 6 - 8 hours of labor involved you end up with a guy that's making close to minimum wage or less if he has to pay shop rent or wants to keep the lights on. This is saying that whoever is running the operation doesn't make an ounce of profit unless they build each one themselves. Sounds like a phenomenal deal for what it appears to be, I would just hope that the quality and thickness is there. They have been selling enclosures like this for other cars for years on Craigslist here in seattle, but I have never seen one first hand. Anxious to hear from someone who has seen one first hand and knows what to look for.
