Thanks.......the right side was messed up so the first set became "unsellable"......but I tell you what, I'm only getting intrest from you TA guys and Firehawk guys.....I don't know whats up with the Camaro owners....all I've read over and over is "Afterthoughts dosn't make the chrome grilles anymore and we can't find them", and now that I go and drop the coin to do it, nobody wants them......go figure.....they say thery are to expensive, but I bought my afterthoughts one for $75 just 3 years ago, so I'm only $10 higher with my cost being $55 a piece......I don't know........

so the next batch is going to be just Ram-Air, Firehawk grilles......post if youd like a set......thanks.

I definitely want a set...

I've read the other posts about the cost and what not, you're not overpriced by any means. Just ask anyone that's ever bought a billet of chrome accessory for any other part of the car. Just let me know as soon as they're done!

When I made this post originally I asked for side vent inserts. Are you going to make those? some of us are non-ram air and want to still have the side inserts

I believe he's going to do those two, another post mentioned him doing a set of 6 (including the ram air). I want the side vents as well.

I'll see if I can find the part numbers, but I would love to have a set of 6 for my WS.6 when you get some done.

bigb0iii......Damn!....glad you are excited about these.......BUT......everything is on hold at the moment because i'm having a hell of a time getting the right amount chrome on the pieces to not get a "fogging" effect of the final clear coat when I apply it........this stuff needs to go on very thin, and thats what I'm in the middle of figuring out......I'm trying to get shiny chrome with a nice CLEAR clear coat for protection, whats comming out instead is nice shiny chrome turning into dull silver after the clear is applied....not good.......I'll keep everyone informed.....

I just bought some chrome paint, & an acrylic coat on top. Hasn't faded or chipped in two years. But I will buy 1 of Blu's when he is finished.

Has anyone asked if you would also do the Trans Am Logo to go along with the side heat extractors? If so what would be the price?
