But then I would paint it as the corner cracks are deep and by the CF weave. These surface cracks will not be removable without going to there level and you risk hitting the CF.

LOLOL wow.... POS replica... hmmmm.... if you feel trying to make a product better makes it a POS then thats your call. The piece I am making comes clear coated, hardware won't rust on you, and the piece won't yellow on you. Don't get me wrong, I love the original piece, I actually had a chance to buy an authentic one at one point, problem I had with it was that it faded, the seam was splitting and the hardware on the diffuser itself had rust.

Hmm... Profit... not really, its more of a favor to the Z community. A high demand with people wanting it in Twill weave, not wanting it to fade or yellow and have it be affordable and not "rape" the wallet. Why not put their money toward something better then to get "raped" by Top Secret. Think about this, if you were to make this diffuser and say Top secret said it was $600 to make, I don't think they should have to triple the cost to sell a piece. BTW $600 is a Big Budget to make a piece like that.

I'm not trying to make profit from this as much as just trying to give the guys here what they want. I make my profit elsewhere.

Your asking for $1900 for you diffuser and you don't think your "raping" anyone?

The authentic one you can buy from Vivid's site for $1199.... so either you got "raped" or you should have bought it from Vivid. If you think justifying a $700 dollar price increase then damn you sure know how to make a deal.

Dont believe me heres the link:
