Imagine being able to turn your 986 Boxster into a CayBox for a mere $2,500.

I think that a street/Race version of this will have some marketability as a product.

You just need some kind of trunk access to get at the dipstick/oil/water fill ports and the trunk space.

Someone with decent Fiberglass and mold making skills could probably make a nice business out of this.

Surely theres a retired Porsche enthusiast with these skills and time that could use the extra dough.


$30/hr x 40 hrs per unit = 1,200
Materials 300
-------------
Unit Manufacturing cost $1,500

Once you get into production and with 2 molds
one person could make 2 units per week.

30/hr x 20 hrs per unit = 600
materials 300
--------
Unit Manufacturing cost $900

Profit per unit is $1600 plus earning 30/hr

So in a year thats $1600 x 48 working weeks x 2 units per week = $153,600
Plus $30/hr for 48 weeks = $57,600
---------------
$211,200/yr

Deduct the outsource of 2 mold making costs in the first year ~$15,000

Anyone want to earn their next brand new car for 6 months work.
