Billet grill?

[nyc #1 ironman]

Someone had posted a pic of a billet grill in the past. Does anyone know if we can get this mod for the VX? I sent the person who posted the pic an email a while back but hadn't heard anything from him. Please advise?

Here's a version I made.
Is this what you were thinking of?
If so, there very inexpensive $20.00. I made a batch for last years Black Rock Mt. Meet and have 1 or 2 just laying around.

I saw it before and fell in love with the second one, I just can justify paying 180 big ones for it, as well as the skid plate... it is absolutely gorgeous, but 365.00??? I just don't know!

My previous post (http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2540) It looks pretty good on mine. My was the first test one. They made a few modifications to it and it looks nicer now. Brushed lips $175 shipped, polished lips $220, fully powdercoated any color $170 shipped.

Tomcat and Cyrk,
I've been away from the computer, but I'll look for the inserts and there yours when I find them. I'll PM you both when there located. I don't know how many I had, but if my memory serves me right there were at least three. If there's a demand I can always get the saftey glasses back out...carlymac

[tomcat837]

Great, how much?

[carlymac]

Cyrk and tomcat,
I sent you both a PM with all the particulars. If anyone else is interested I'll fab up more. The going price is $20.00 to cover materials, labor and shipping. I don't intend going commercial but this is an inexpensive mod that (I belive) adds an aesthetic edge to an already edgy vehicle.

[Cyrk]

Will send you a check tonight!!! thanks again...

[carlymac]

I have Cyrk's and tomcat's grill inserts ready to go. And will have Kristy Remo's and VXtreme's ready by Monday morning.
Are there any other takers while I'm in the shop cutting the material this weekend?

[tomcat837]

WOO HOO!!!

Sent you a PM VXMAN....:cool:

Carl,
I received the aluminum mesh grill panels you made for me and installed them this weekend. They look great. Thanks for getting them done so quickly. While I was at it, I ordered a 5 PSI supercharger pulley from Tone and installed it too. It made a noticable improvement on the available power, especially in the upper RPM range. After that I figured I might as well change the pedal pads, so I put a set of aluminum drilled pedal pads on as well. All in all, it looks really great and runs great!!! Next is a set of cross-drilled and slotted rotors, new pads and stainless steel braided brake lines. Then I think I will rest for a week or so.

how do i order?

[VXtreme]

You need to contact "Carlymac" he made them for me and a couple of the other members. I don't know if he made any extra ones when he made mine, but you can always ask him. VXtreme.

[VXMAN]

Carl, I got mine today and already installed it. Looks very nice. Thanks for doing this mod and offering them to others.
:D

[VCAMILO]

[Cyrk]

VCAMILO, this is the grill I got from carlymac, I believe it is the same one VXtreme got from him.
