twisted minis

I'm trying to gauge interest in these mounts. I'm not sure if I should make more, or just toss the jig aside and forget about it until I body drop another Mazda.
Here are some pictures.
They will allow you to run a stock hood with a folded pinch, with no modifications other than trimming the hood structure a little bit. This leaves 1/8" between the oil pan and engine cross member. And even with a heavily drug engine cross member, the oil pan doesn't come close to the ground. Now there is about 3/8" between the air cleaner and hood skin. Meaning you could go 1/4" past the rocker still without any clearance issues. Anything after that, and you will have to run a different air cleaner, or body drop the stock ones. I have pictures of doing this if anyone is interested.
So, I want to know who is interested, or would be at some point soon, in a set. I'm considering TIG welding them, but not sure if you guys want to pay for the cost of it. I am also considering offering them powder coated, or just in raw steel.
And if you are interested, I'd like to hear what you would be willing to pay for these. I have a general price in mind, but I would like to hear the general consensus. And they will be over $100, so please don't say they are worth $50. I have a lot of time into designing these and making them work the right way.
