Exclamation Custom Grill

Ok so I did some research, and found a local BAY AREA company who custom makes front grills.
I shot an email to him and waiting for him to write back. I will probably have to go to his shop so he can get some measurements.
I'll keep everyone posted...

Just got off the phone with the owner, and he told me the he would consider producing grills, but wanted to know how many people would be interested in them. Because they are custom he doesn't want to make just 2 or 3.

Im going to send him this thread and he will be monitoring it to see how many people would want a custom Crossfire Grill.
Here's his web site: http://www.racemeshgrilles.com/index.htm


Soo lets go people... Reply to this thread, let him (RACE MESH GRILLES) know how bad you want it.

Wow...
It would be nice to have more options. We just need to let theses people know that there are no companies making aftermarket parts in the USA.

One important point; How does one say we're interested unless we see a prototype, or at a minimum a PS illustration. This is the issue we are having with CTD Germany.

Well he has many examples on his web site...As far as examples on our car...??? Don't know. Based on the other cars on the web site, I'm interested.
I'm tired of the mini van grill.

Please refer to his website for examples of prices and the different mesh materials he uses. Also look at all the pics, to get an idea of how clean its gonna look.

I'm going to drive over and see his shop, i'll let you know what i find.
His prices vary ...probably by size and material...

Let go people need more responses for the upper grills. The more people want it the better. The company isn't going to just make 5 or 6. So If your really interested, and I am, let him know here. He checks this thread everyday.

Try looking at the chrome grill parts that go over your existing grill. I think they make a big difference. If you wait for the mesh grill, you might as well sit down.
