Default "Mantis" pricing and production information-->>

<center><img src="http://www.autoaesthetics.com/misc/Mantis/Finals/mantis-lines-02.jpg"></center><p>
We introduced the Mantis a few weeks ago, and after some suggested changes David has finished the final design and is set for production. The power adapter has been removed from the base unit and, with interest, will show up as an add-on at a later date.

The Mantis housing will be polished and finished so it matches the finish in the TT. It will have it's own installation bracket which is designed to fit perfectly in the ashtray opening. Installation time for the Mantis (without gauges) should be only five minutes!

Prices will be:
$499.99 without Lines.
$549.99 with Lines.

Please email us, as we will need 25 people to place deposits for the amount of $249.99 for the Mantis to proceed for production and produce this "high quality" finished product for the interior of your TT.

Again, the first 25 people with deposits will get to own what could turn out to be a one-of-a-kind product from Auto Aesthetics and eDesign Technologies.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autoaesthetics.com/Pages/15_Windows/mantis-prototype-lines.html">More Images Of The Mantis</a></li></ul>

Would be the same price or less to mill your own.

Default Heck, I know a dozen ways to make that thing. If you do the same that they do, you keep the margin

and the margin of the shop they, (Most places), have do the work. Most all of what you see out there is farmed out, resold, and middle-manned to death. Heck, I used to do it, and still would love to if I had any time.

Default Wow, most of the stuff you make and sell is worth it.

But when the other two characters made this same idea, everyone blamed them for over charging, and I think it was less than this. Drop that price in half, and lots of people will buy.

Nice looking piece though.
