Gauging Interest for a Sportivo Grill Replica Group Buy

[white3ch0c0late]

I was talking with Allen (UfoZ) and its possible that we can make this happen for anyone that is interested. We need 10+ people for this to happen, though. If we're going to make copies of my grill, we're not going to make 1 or 2. We need 10+ people that are definitely going to buy them.

They will be as close to the same as mine as possible. We're looking at a price of about $250+shipping for the grill. If you're genuinely interested, let me know. Otherwise, if we don't get 10+ people, this isn't going to happen.

Also, if we do get 10 or more people, and we are able to make copies (remember, htis is just guaging interest for now), payment in full up front will be required before we even start making copies to cover the costs of making them, and to ensure that no one backs out. I don't want to have to do that, but otherwise, we'd be taking a chance at losing our money over it.

Will it be painted? What about the trd logo?

[white3ch0c0late]

It'll be unpainted, and we're not sure if it'll have the TRD logo or not yet. The emblem that I got for it, I got it later on when DanteGTS was selling it in the For Sale section. Without the emblem, it looks like this (I can't find pix of my car without the emblem, so I found this one):

jeddah boys.


whose making it for you.

^Allen told me that he knows a guy that can probably do it. Its the same guy that he was going to have replicate that Gen 4 JDM front bumper.

[zettahertz]

is it gonna be primed? how much does it cost to paint it?

[ModifierMR]

well if it wasnt $250 id Be all over it. $200 is more my price range. But yea id buy one

[white3ch0c0late]

^What Allen says goes, guys. Its his contact, and it was his original idea.

Thing is, I paid about $265 shipped for my GENUINE one, and it wasn't primed or painted either. $250 is pretty good considering that I'm the only one on TN with the grill (there used to be more guys, but they haven't posted in over 2 years) that is willing to make copies of it. The grill is a discontinued item that is quite frankly impossible to get anymore. I was offered $600 for mine, and I turned it down. Keep that in mind, guys.

And I have to correct Mike on the deposit part... NO deposits. Payment in full up front. Ive been hosed in the past with deposits and group buys before.

Guys always want shit done, but never have the cheddar to get it!!!!

[white3ch0c0late]

^Yup.

I know there are a bunch of you Gen 5'ers out there that want this grill. I get PMs frequently with people asking me where I got it, how to get it, and how much I'd sell it for. Well now's your chance, guys. If we don't get 10 people, then its not gonna happen, and I won't give you guys another chance.

[zettahertz]

i'll take 1 too... so far, only brian and i has claimed to buy 1...

[05lim]

last time i tried buying a billet grill for my car, the holes were all out of line since i have a gen 5.5. think it will fit mine?

[zettahertz]

i think so... cus i believe i saw some ppl w/ gen 5 that bought gen 5.5 grilles..

[TRDGen5.5camry]
