Default Would anyone be interested in these.

I am thinking about having these corners manufactured and am wondering if they would be a good seller or if there would not be alot of interest in them.

Can we see a head on shot? It'd give us a better feel for the flow with the body.

Fiberglass or urethane? It might be worth noting that these would be a much better product in urethane (flexible, no cracks, etc.)

Yes I will get a head on shot with and without so you can see the difference, Its definitely going to be a flexible plastic peel and stick part from the best material for the job. No warped nightmare fiberglass junk here. hopefully reasonably priced too!!!

I'm thinking more along the thermoformed plastics route maily because I think urethane has to be cast in position and is pretty expensive to do. probably a hdpe would work good, will do more research on plastics before final decision.
