Need advise on what to price this carbon part for

Allright everybody
This is the new carbon fiber S197 radiator shroud we have designed,it replaces your factory abs plastic piece with an awesome show car quality carbon fiber piece that is strong enough to hold the weight of a human, i weigh 140, and can demo this. Problem is I don't know what to price it at. I gotta make a living but don't want my fellow stangers to have to pay hundreds of dollars for carbon fiber. So I am willing to listen to advise on what I could sell these for, if you have seen the polished pieces that are out there under $200, I can get very competitive I made these after consulting with 5.0 Editor Steve Turner who loves carbon fiber on a mustang and suggested we make a few parts that "would look sweet under the hood of any S197 magazine feature quality car that we take an engine shot of. As you can see by reading 5.0 and Muscle Mustangs, the engine bay of every Mustang is shot to show the power adder and any engine details.One thing you should know, these will only fit your car if you have hood struts, it will not fit with a prop rod because we did not want to make the little clip that holds it down, it would make the part cost prohibitive to sell, (we would have to spend too much time designing it to fit with a prop rod). Im thinking priced at $169, what do you guys think? It was molded off the stock piece so it fits 99.9% guaranteed (.01% is the prop rod clip we did not make on it)besides talking to the editor, they hate to see a prop rod in a picture and if a car has one, they always have to hold the hood open for him to shoot the engine bay pic. So here it is, Im open to suggestions, we have these available for sale right now and accept paypal, we can put them on ebay for a total price (paypal fee included of $169)minus the shipping and we ship UPS (your cost) to your zip from zip code 94510
thank for your help guys, any questions email me at g8trz@bellsouth.net

Looks good, the price seems reasonable. Is this lighter than the factory piece? I would consider purchasing one based off looks alone, just not ready to at this time.

Not to bad a price, obviously the cheaper the better, more of them you sell, but like you said you got make money too. So really your the only one that can answer what you paid, and how much it took to do it. more expensive less buyers, less expensive more buyers, so somewhere in the middle will get you the best sales. Good luck. I will buying one in the future probably they look nice, but I dont have the shocks yet. I will be adding them, so just another mod I will have to do,LOL.
thanks for thinking of us.

I imagine there a quite a few people, that don't show their cars, but want a tight look under the hood. We don't want to spend too much, and I think you hit a pretty good price point.

That doesn't seem to be outrageously priced for a nice CF part.

I'd pay $150-200 for that, any other CF parts in the works for the engine bay?
