Don't know yet. I'm guessing $600-800 but I should know soon

I wonder why ERA would even offer the wool if it costs more and they claim it is worse, seems like a disservice to there customer base???

I respectfully disagree  … the choices are a great customer service and one of the things that sets ERA apart. Wool or synthetic carpet, leather or vinyl seats, pin drive or bolt on wheels, ERA or Jag rear suspension … the list of choices goes on and on all the way from a bare body & frame to a full turn key car. Truly a custom Cobra built to exactly the customer's specification. |

x2 on this. More examples: ERA also offers reverse speedo and reproduction fluid reservoir cans but shares with the customer that these options are sometimes problematic. Customer can get what they want with full disclosure. Great customer service.

Missed my point, it would be like charging more for vinyl than leather because it lasts longer, same as the carpet argument, the wool costs more because it is the superior product.. Get the wool and be done with it...  It is a natural product like leather, you could also pay more for less hp, but who would... You might as well get the best for the best, if it there wasn't a price difference they would probably be out of stock with the wool like Kirkham was when I got my car because of the high demand...

"Best" is subjective. The customer makes the choice between originality, quality, longevity and cost depending on their own use. Nylon will generally last longer (fade-wise) and hold up better under heavy use. On the other hand, it doesn't have that nice "wet-sheep" smell after a rain shower. |
