Steinmetz front grill for GT and Sky
« on: October 21, 2009, 10:40:03 AM »
Steinmetz has a good looking grill for GT and Sky - a different bumber too. i have checked with them but the price is a bit high..
do you know any other vendor that has a front grill like this one?

266Euro for the grille meaning almost 400$, thank you sir I won't pay that amount for a grille which is not jaw dropping.

Another thing, Steinmetz is not selling a completely different bumper, is just a bumper addon lip for 439 Euro which is around 650$.

Guess what, nobody makes a black grille for our cars, only billet grille. Check my aftermarket body parts for Sky/Gt post ;)

I'm in the process to have grille clear mesh custom made also eyelids for front and back but I don't know if this will turn out because the manufacturers around here are a pain.

Kelu, i am not willing to pay 300 euros for a small piece of plastic, that actually costs the most 60 euros. that s why i ask if some other vendor offers something similar to this at a reasonable price. i like this grill better than mesh.
i will check the mods you say

Perhaps Norms Fiberglass may consider making those since it looks like a piece that sticks over the fog and turn signal light.  Looks nice.

I like the look, but that's certainly some.... optimistic pricing.
Your highly detailed mods signature, while impressive, really really screws up Google & site searches.

Deep blue GXP the front grill refers to the part between the hood and the bumber, the black part that replaces the oem part where  the badge is.

I'm prob doing one of three thing to the front grill...

1. Have it wraped in real carbon fiber to match my other cf goodies

2. Sand it to remove chrome and painted to match black paint

3. Go cheap and use left over ASAP black vinyl and wrap it w/ that.

  Oh ya, I seen that, Piece of crap for the money.  I meant Norm could build the front bumper addons for less money

Hello, Joe I would love too build a front spoiler for the Sky and get that kind of money. I guess I need to raise my prices, LOL. Though really I would need a Sky for a while to build a front spoiler, but I have started on some Sky fenders that keep on getting cracked. Im amazed how heavy they are much more so than the Solstice by 3 lbs. and they are very expensive when you can find them. Thanks Norm

Since you already have a Sky there perhaps there may be interest in the areas circled in red.

Another European great example:

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]
Irmcher front bumper lip - 422E - over 600$  :lol:

Norm is any chance to have a nice looking front grille for the Sky/GT?
If you are willing to do it and keep it in your prices ranges besides Arabas I'm ready to buy another 2 black pieces. Maybe I will be able to order another two but I need to speak with other 2 GT owners if they are willing to buy.

Eyelids will be another idea (headlights and stop lights) because there is only one option in the market around 160$ painted only for front headlights.

P.S. Guys you will not be mad on me if I would steal your Norm, right? :) Norm move to Europe ;)
