Re: Scirocco Rice (Here we go again!)

[John Erk <johnny.erk@sympatico.ca>]

Something I've been wondering about....I know enough about Economics,
business and mold making, so how can Erebuni afford to market these kits
in the first place? I can see for a high volume car like a civic, but
how many scirocco owners are going to buy a kit to even pay for the high
cost of the molds?
