Carbon fiber exhaust heatshield

Hi guys and girls!
I opened this thread just to ask how many of you would be interested for a carbon fiber exhaust heatshield i currently make. It is made from 4 layers of high quality carbon fiber fabric (not any fiberglass inside...) and the resin is a special formulation to withstand high temperatures. It can be made up to a length of 700mm, the diameter is about 5.5in and the periphery is 240mm. It can be easily bolted on your exhaust canister just like your normal heatshield does. It is super light (for the full length of 700mm it weighs less that 370gr) and very strong and stiff.
Any interest for a group buy so i can make the best possible offer? Thanks!

I'd put some photos up showing the whole item, I won't be spending £80 on something I haven't seen in its entirety

Here's a picture of the actual heatshield, trimmed but not clearcoated yet (it will be even more shinny). Comments, suggestions more than welcome!
