Wink Progress - Firehawk grilles, and some new billet stuff...

Here I have the render of the Firehawk hood grilles and heat extractors:

There is a version with a light port, and without. Would there be any demand for some unique billet stuff by any chance?

That would be strictly a custom order because the hoods are extremely rare, and I can guarantee, unfortunately, that they won't come cheap.

I'd be interested depending on price. I think your inserts are priced very fair, but it seems like billet stuff is always so expensive. What are you looking to charge for these?

I'm not sure yet. I know I can get them made, but I am not sure how much it will cost me. If I can get them done, and I can sell them for a small profit at a fair price, then I'll churn them out. I always try to offer what was previously unaffordable or unattainable to the masses at an affordable cost. I will keep updates on how they are coming along as well as price info.

But, you are right - when something is billet cut, it is typically more expensive than anything laser cut. I just don't think these have ever really been offered for our cars - I have seen a little bit, but nothing certain or even a source. I want to change that.

Be interested as well for the grills, along with the ***** with a light port. Will your hood vents have the black around the outside like your side vents had? The vents are still stainless?

I'm pretty sure MBA offered the *****. And there's another company who makes them right now but they're $30 a ****...

Guys, please do NOT ask about pricing and where to buy. It's against our forums rules, since Dragonz28 is not a sponsor. Thanks

That may change before long. But, I will refrain from posting prices and such until I do become a sponsor.

Phantom, when did you become a moderator?

I would be very interested in satin finish *****. The polished ones just stand out too much to me. I think the satin would compliment my head unit and match my silver autometer guage rings. Just an idea.

Btw, my ram air grill covers are holding up great.

Geeez, we're still in the theoretical phase and simply throwing out a number. So what if he's not a sponsor, yelling at him not to post prices is only going to encourage him to take everything to PM and private email and then the mass market suffers.

Damn, you'd think that this was some super secret trade secrets or something with the amount of fuss going on.
