Gauging interest in machined aluminum door pull covers, check it out

Have this posted up in the truck section but know you guys have the same setup. I got tired of replacing the cheap plastic door strap covers in my 87 pickup so i fabricated my own out of aluminum. They fit perfect and are almost an identical representation of the stock pieces. let me know what you guys think.

A complete set of 4 would be $135 plus shipping, but i would need to get a pretty healthy list of committed buyers(probably 20 for me to be able to absorb the remaining cost risk). Thats pretty much me breaking even on making these things. Its a pretty substantial up front investment given the quantity i am having to order to get that price but i wanted to make them as affordable as possible.

I will say this though. These things are awesome and they will be the last set you ever buy for your truck. They fit great and wont be popping off everytime you shut the door. No more broken prongs to deal with or fear of using the door strap. They really are a high quality piece and in my mind a good long term investment. I have had my truck now for 3 years and have gone through 3 sets already. Got to the point on my dads 87 that we just didnt replace them and were left looking at ugly bolts and brackets.

I have the part at one other shop to see if i can get that cost down a little bit. Should know more this evening or tomorrow. Any and all feedback is appreciated!
