Any updates on the progress?  I realize the amount of work and time that will have to go into production,  but I would hate to see these grilles fall through.

Ditto

Also always dug the weekend club racer exhaust bezels cause reminded me of C2s and a little of the C3s 68-73 exhaust bezels.

I actually have a set of grills drawn but have been waiting on a model of the GXP front fascia so that I can make sure they will fit both cars. Hint hint Dave  :poke:

Bobby are you not reading what I post?

I HAVE A SET DRAWN BUT NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY WILL WORK ON THE GXPs.  WE ARE WAITING FOR THAT CAD MODEL.

If you want to jump the gun and spend the cash to have a set made to find out they may not work let me know I can send you a file.

Dave where do we stand on getting that model?

I'm not getting upset Bobby, you just need to be patient or I'll make you go stand at the end of the queue.

I don't need any physical parts, I have a GXP remember, what I need is a computer drawn file of the front bumper cover so that I can make sure the grill I have drawn will fit properly.  So until I get that nothing is going on but once I have it I should be done really quickly.

Someone was supposed to be getting me that file but I think he is busy building an engine for Elff's car.

When are these grills going to be ready?

I think they would fit in the F250. They are about the right size for the heat vents next to the radio.

So SA follow the advise of others who have no investment and make the damn things whether the fit or not.  We can all complain about your sloppy workmanship later.


Or


You can wait until you get the right file check and make sure everything fits correctly and have impatient clients.

We know John that Sol Asylum will only have this brought to members here when it's right. He's said before that he doesn't want them to be so-so as he's fussy and isn't going to do them otherwise. I know everyone appreciates that and we wouldn't have it any other way.

When they're ready folks, you'll read about it here first. I can tell you from a recent conversation with SA and considering others that are involved behind the scenes that these are going to be AWESOME!   :drool:

I'll be in for a set, however...feel better when chrome hydro dipping is available.  See camo, wood grain, skulls...even pink carbon fiber, however have yet to see anyone offering true chrome hydro dipping.  :cloud:
