Body:

John,

But at what cost?
A good friend of mine needed a set for his Detroit Grand Prix car was sure
that he could have them reproduced, but after several attempts at finding a
qualified person that could build a mold, and learning of the costs to do
so, he decided that it was much cheaper to just get two sets of the
originals from Hank so that he had a spare set for the next time a stray
rock decided to take one out.

Some people think that Hank hard to deal with, but when we told him that we
wanted to buy more than one set of covers he was nice enough to give us a
break off the regular price.
