Slater Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 well, from the pics of the prototype, it looks like the glossy black outer ring is seperate. so it should be possable to remvoe and chrome it.←Exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slater Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 I know but Slater skipped over my question, or he's ignoring me He said he was thinking about getting the outer ring chromed and I was wondering how he was going to do that ... is Radicast going to do it or him? Daniel (from Radicast) told me he didn't (or couldn't) want to do it. Like I said before I know what this grill consists of since I've been talking to Daniel about it for quite a while, and so has a well-known vendor here .. we're not feeling the love from Mr. Daniel Oh well, I don't care how they get here or who sells them, I just want one ←No, I wasn't ignoring your question. I don't have answer for you. I won't know until I have one in hand to bring to a plater and see how much they are to chrome. Sould be $20, could be $100. I have no clue. Heck, I don't even know if it can even be done. I'm sure it can - I've seen harley shops chrome everything and anything including plastic.Well, I hope to be a well-known Volvo tuner as well. You have to start somewhere right?- Slater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachnut Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Thanks man. I think the outer would look best chromed but if it's too much of a hassle I convinced myself a while back that it would be okay black as long as I use a chrome slash. When do you expect shipment of these to occur? Consider me your first buyer ... I'll pm you for payment particulars. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To save serious shipping costs (and ultimately the price I quoted) I told them to wait until everything is in before shipping the order. So if I had to guess I would say it will be 2-3 weeke before I have them in hand ready to ship to you. Then if youw ant to wait for a chrome version, I need a little extra time to show a few platng shops to see if and who can chrome the outer trim and how much it will add to the cost.

T5BRICK Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 i'm up for one as well. i would also be willing to wait to have the outer ring chromed, but i think $40 is the most i'd be able to pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking $30 - $40 extra max. Any more than that and it just isn't worth it. I'll see what I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DougK Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Slater you have a PM. If you can do a chromed outter rim and put the sash back on (I mean I can put the sash on) you'll have sold 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since you can make a homeade mesh grille that looks identical for about $10 in your garage.Looks like crap once it starts rusting too, which mine has. Not to mention the rutsy hardware they provide and the cheesy hood latch that snapped off in my hands a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
