thats tough to say whether its good or bad that he's reproducing them. I guess it depends on who you are. If you are someone looking to "restore," fix, or replicate these cars, it could be good because they will be cheaper. This is also bad for the same reasons, it will lesson the value of the actual originals, and they wont be as unique anymore.
personally, i'd prefer not to have these parts reproduced. If for some reason i would need a part for my ASC/McLaren Mustang, then i would probably end up paying a lot for an original, but thats fine with me.

I personally think this is a good thing. I can understand that it will hurt those who have bought original ones for $300-$400. And I'm sorry for them about that. But I think the ASC Wing makes the bubble back look 100% better. So why not help all bubbles look good? I'm on the list because I'd like a wing for my car that won't warp. Just my $0.02...

I kind of feel the same way.
I think the wing will make bubble backs look more attractive to people owning Capris. I'd rather see alot more bubble backs around than being converted to the Mustang rear.
