Sorry lads, I'm out for this one. After thinking about it, 100€ is a bit too much for me. I was OK for 60€ + a slight increase to cover any increment in materials, but 35€ extra is a bit steep for my liking.
Stock market prices seem to go up and down alright, but from what I could see price for stainless seem to have decreased since a massive spike in 2007. Don't quote me on this I wasn't able to find a proper chart from 2007 until now. But when I'm buying 304 or 316 dairy pipe and bends for making exhausts bits and boost pipes, I never noticed a big difference over the last 3 years on prices, but once again don't quote me on it as I didn't pay attention that much.
Manufacturers for frames rails like JASS Performance or Performance5 don't look like they had to raise their prices over the years either, and even if they cost a bit more, they have a bit more time spent on the laser cutting machine to make cutouts etc.
