Pricing
From Vince's Facebook:
Converting to USD...
$655 VinceBar Kit
$80 Tool Kit
$115 Shipping
>> $850 shipped from Sweden WITHOUT epoxy (another ~$60) woof
I obviously never installed this, but I did use it as a guide for my own reinforcements and got some good use out of the hole saw (also broke the damn 10mm drill bit so I bought two new ones to go in the kit). Given all that and the fact that it is not the simplified version (this one is harder to install, but gives a cleaner finish IMO), then I'm thinking $700 shipped OBO

I just realized that this is the first item I've listed for sale on the new forum. I sold a good bit of stuff on the old forum under the name ZHPNC, and have been active on e46f + ZHPMafia under this same name, ZHPizza, for years. Let me know what questions you have!
