street_sleeper is an unknown quantity at this point
The reason I need/want that number is to gauge what the maximum number is. Then do some rough math to guesstimate how many I will ultimately make. Let's say the total number is 10000. So in 20 years let's say there are only 1000 still on the road that have sunroofs. I could then let the company making them know how many to produce. There is a setup fee everytime I run a batch. I'm just looking for a numerical starting point.

The only people that currently know about this are the ones involved in this thread. So making 20 is a waste of money given the setup fee. I know there are probably 500-1000 poeple that actually need this part. Once the word gets out that these things exist, then I can cater to the individual but right now I'm thinking about the initial production run to cut down on cost which equals lower cost to the individual.
