Here is the e-mail from Vic that John forwarded to me (permission in it that its OK to forward...and I'm hoping this does not violate the advertising rules...I think its more of a "how-to-buy-this-stuff" post. If it is in violation, I will gladly edit out the part below):

Subject: RV Carbon Fiber Fairings, pricing and pictures
John, you can fwd this to them....
The set will fit the RV4, 6, 7, 8 and standard wing Rocket only. Nothing for the 9 or 10 right now.
They are made of 2 layers of carbon fiber that is vacuum bagged in the mold. Very light and very strong.
The set is $156.00 which covers shipping in the lower 48. The aileron stanchion is precut at 4" back when you get them which gives you 12 parts total. Any part or group is available separately.
Please read the attached Word document to understand what these fairings are and are not before purchase.
$30.00 Fuel vents ( 2 pieces )
$40.00 Fuel drains ( 2 pieces )
$80.00 Aileron stanchions ( 8 pieces )
$150.00 For the set (12 pieces)
On any combination add $6.00 for shipping in the lower 48 States

Poster's NOTE: I edited the address out, Vic's e-mail and ph# are on page 1 of this thread. Felt funny about adding his address here.
RVM
Include shipping address and what aircraft you have. I send out USPS priority mail.
I will e-mail you the day they go out.
Let me know if you want a set as I am only making them on demand at this point. It is a 24 hour process to make just one set.
The attachments are pictures and the instructions for mounting the fairings.
Let me know if you are interested or need more info.

So there's some good info about the gear. Bob A and Bob J, I'm going to give shot at them, and will see how they do. Probably one of those incremental changes that (hopefully) add up.
Cheers,
Bob
