It is not fiber board it is resin based Vinyl. The Vinyl cost 30.00, adhesive 9.00 and shipping is aprox 30.00 with a box. That is about 70.00 total my cost. So I was making around 80.00 for making it and shipping it out plus getting the materials together. I belive the fiber board runs about 9.00 -18.00 a sheet so why are they worth 250.00+ ? I did not attach the sides to the top because it stays there with out it. I have not seen the VPW or Roberts ones. I know when I checked into it the roberts ones are around 259.00 plus shipping and the VPW ones are are around 235.00 with shipping. I told how they could be made so some one could take the time and do it them selves also. I was selling mine for 150.00 and that included the shipping and they are not made out of fiber board and can be covered with any color you want for about 15.00 worth of material. A templet I got off of one only went a few inches down from the top of the rear window? Do they not go below the rear window on the ones they sell? I thought 250.00+ was a little high for one that is why I made mine and offerd them to anyone who wanted one. Shipping was high because of the way they had to go by freight UPS would not ship because they could not be bent into a circle and fit into a smaller box. I was not twisting any arms just saying if someone wanted one I could make them. If I could have got one for 150.00 I would have just bought it instead of making mine. Mark H.
