Default My New Grill, Only 1 In Existence !!

I made this grill for my Z. Nobody has it, im the only one. I custom made everything and custom fitted every piece. Im wondering if i should produce it.
who would be interested? All aluminum, no rust, no corrosion, no fading, no chipping, and matches with any car color.

no cheap *** chrome fender trim here. that chrome fender crap cracks and peels off after 200 miles of driving. mine will last longer than the life of the car. Soild aluminum, all of it, including the screws.

not sure if i would produce it and sell it. it takes alot of work.

actual cost of parts are 30-40 $$.
labor to fabricate it would be around 100 $
total cost 150 +/- .

I actually thought it was a chrome fender grill at first.. but noticed it really is all aluminum.. Looks awesome but little pricey for the exact same look of the chrome fender grill imo. If it was around 100 I might consider.

not sure its 140$ better than the chrome strips, many have them stay on for years, and you could replace them 15times...

but atleast your thinking, also those photos probably arent doin them justice.

yours looks pretty good, but my chrome door trim grill cost me $6 and looks pretty sweet imho. i have had mine on for about 6 months now and no problem.

i wish you good luck with it though. i know the quality of yours is probably WAY higher than mine.

the chrome strips are no good. i actually had them on my car and thought they were great, until they started peeling and looking all nasty after a few months. then it became another routine "fix it" thing every 2 months. Also , your right, ill snap better shots of it, the far photos dont do it justice at all. The original grill gets cutout and replaced with this one. It also looks solid from every angle, because it is. The chrome fender things look like chrome fender things from different angles. Ill let better pics do the talkin'.
Ill post some pics after work today, friday.
thanks guys.

Looks awesome man, i'm sure people would buy it. But I also tend to agree that it is so cheap to buy the chrome strips, and even if they come off after 6 months, its only another $5 to replace them. It looks really good though.

The chrome grill look is not my thing... that said, I think folks should look beyond to the door 350ZZZZZZZ has opened.

Yeah, I'll agree the grill he made does look a lot like the chrome strips. But, if he's hand fabricated this, you have the option to do three horizontal bars (as pictured)... or one horizontal bar... or two... or five... maybe you could do vertical bars. That's where I see some real value to what 350ZZZZZZZ has done.
