stainless steel grill for j30

[xxcrashxx]

how much do u think a custom made grill for a j30 would go for. like, selling on ebay?? cuz im makin one for myself, if it goes over well, i might wanna mass produce them and sell them at a higher price. over all it would cost maybe 100 bux to make each one(grill+steel mesh). any thought??

Depend's on the time it takes per and what markup % you desire .But you will sell em' to Nico members at cost right

Im almost done with the CNC conversion on my Mill and already have a small foundry set up.I plan on tinkering with simular stuff as soon as it cools down some.

Painful to pour molten aluminum when it's 100 out

[xxcrashxx]

basically what i was asking, how much do u think people would be willing to pay for it. cuz theres a difference between what its worth, and what people will pay for it. esp on ebay. LOL

Send me one when you are done

that would look really great. all i was thinking about was using the stock emblem from the j30 grill, and indenting the mesh to make a "pocket" for the emblem to sit in. when i get my next paycheck, i just might look into gettin that. ill post pix when i get done with the grill, should i make a tutorial too?? or is it basically self explanitory?? LOL

I would say 200 would be a good price.

That's kinda pretty, in a Cadillac sort of way. But how can it be "JDM" if Infinitis aren't sold in Japan?

[yodawill2000]

Doesnt say if its even made of Metal.

Hmm.

[DominickJ30]

lol exactly.

But just like we try to leopardize our J30s, they try to j30ize their leopard. If you know what I mean.

[xxcrashxx]

LOL, makes scence tho.

So true. The "other" way is always "better".

[xxcrashxx]

Kinda hides the purty' emblem doesnt it ?Good work though.

I did the same with some wire mesh on my old silver J. Yours looks to have come out a little smoother than mine did. Also, I'm sure you noticed that you can pop the emblem out from the back. Did you try it without the emblem?

[xxcrashxx]

yea, i know the emblem would come out. i bought a spare grill off ebay for practice.

i was planning on gettin this one emblem off ebay, but i cant seem to find it anymore, i believe i mensioned it on this thread earlier. i havent tried it w/out the infiniti emblem. but i kinda like it like that, from an angle u cant see it, but head on, u can see it.....

ps. does anyone know of something i can coat this in, to prevent it from rusting?? i noticed one small rust spot today. :'(

[ttinfinitiM30]

not sure how costly it is but i know that there is a system of clear paint that bonds straight to metal. u would need to find it through some custom paint tho. ill look for it
