This doesn't do it justice, but I'll put out a little teaser here for everyone . This is the one we are still modifying. The side is designed with the horizontal lines in it on purpose - kind of "old school" look, and look nicer than this picture shows them to be.

Remember that this is "raw" from the machine, and is not polished, brushed, anodized, etc... just raw aluminum for overall "feel" and fit of the part.

I am thinking we'll have these available in about a month, maybe sooner, depends on the other stuff we have going on at the moment and me surviving PRI without having a mental episode

Comments as always are welcome.

Looks nice, hey marcello could you let me know what the bolt size and thread pattern is for the two little holes on the bottom of your cup holder bezel. I am thinking of drilling the holes below the bezel and attaching them with bolts. Thanks for the info. I left you a message as well.

I didn't see the message other than in the other thread - maybe I have to adjust the email blocker again...

Anyway, I did measure it - 8-32 should take care of you, although it will be tight threading into the chrome plated pieces due to the tolerance the chrome takes up.

Umm - lower than any of the "other guys" in billet at a higher quality, finish, and US made. Other than that, I can't say yet because I don't have a firm grip on our production costs in volume, and won't until after we calm down from the PRI show this week, but soon.

Soon man - you'll be able to see it on our car, I'll have the pre-production piece on it in the booth at PRI this week.

They are promising me I'll have *pre-production* louvers too, but they are planning to run them on Wednesday! The show only starts Thursday!! Talk about cutting it close....

Marcello may be out for a bit with the PRI show, but when he's back I'm sure he will give us all the info we need.
WON'T YOU MARCELLO? LOL

I'll try! It's crazy here right now, with Christmas orders, dealers, shows, etc... but yeah, I'll try and at least check in this week as time permits. Our only thing I'm disappointed in is that our newest piece won't be ready for the show - I just couldn't get it pushed through development quick enough, and ran out of time... Oh well - SEMA 07 baby! (Maybe)

Nope, can't blame you there!

Where's the "nature coast" though? We're on the Space / treasure coast, and I've heard of others, but never the "nature" coast.

Anyone at the PRI show sneak a shot of the bezel in "raw" aluminum? We had it on the car along with the louvers that came in on Thursday afternoon - hand delivered no less... sometimes there are advantages to manufacturing locally!

From Yankeetown down to Pinnellas. Levy, Citrus, Hernando and West Pasco Counties. I'm in Weekie Wachee. Nature's Coast sounds much better. We're right on the gulf!! Route 50 straight accross to you, no turns!!

Ah, the SR50 drive... pretty nice except for the Orlando stint of it - I prefer to pick up the turnpike to the beeline when I get into that area then jump east to the coast.

I see the stable has a common car in it - I've got a 73 Mach1 in mine... where did you order our products from? I didn't see any orders going that way over the past few days.

Yeh, I saw it......... Didn't take a pic though, but I saw it.


Remember I asked about not having any engraving on it.

I remember I figured since you were one of only a few poeple I allowed in the car, you would have taken a shot of it. I think we'll have some back for the auto cars in a couple days - anodize is backed up as usual...

I've been looking for one similiar to the $200 Ford one "slanted edges" on all sides. I've looked at all the ones on this thread, and haven't seen one dead on.

Thanks

That one would actually be pretty easy to make, and not that expensive. Just a couple of special angle cutters....

I should have some of our auto pieces in a day or so, let's see what they look like
