WE know everyone excited about this grill, just for you guys to kind of guage the pricing on the grill.. I know price is where many might get turned off. here is a japan site that sells grills. The thing to remember is that these are not billet nor made of metal, there made of plastic and chrome plated. the everage price of those grills are about 250.00 to 400.00 USD

Take into concideration that the mafia grill is Metal "Billet Aluminum" buying it bare finsh will prob be the cheapest becuase it will be aluminum finish. Add color mathcing via powder coat, paint will add to the price.. Add Chrome and that will prob be the elite of them all and cost the most beucase chrome isnt cheap.

I understand you guys want to build a superior product just be careful not to price yourselfs out of the market. I also understand you have to paid to play but with something like the grill most ppl wont/cant spend a ton of cash. Is there a different material you can create a simular fit and finish?
just a thought.

Thats true. I have no problem paying a couple of hundered bucks for a nice grille, my biggest complaint right now is that I dont like most of the xB grilles out. I do like this one and the flat black.

we understand that pricing is a huge issue.. and we want to stay competive. We could sent this design out to taiwan and have millons made for cheap but quality will be lost for price.
At forjworks we want to keep all production of all our items in house.
Plastic would be an option.. but the vison of this grill was to be a high end part made with the best matirals.
We understand that some might be turned off becuase of the pricing.. but the price hasnt been set yet.
Just was trying to make everyone aware that the grill isnt going to be cheap and many are asking for a lower grillt o match the top. we could easly design it but will the customer be willing to pay for 2 grills.

Hmm...$300 would probably the most I'd spend. I hope pricing won't be too high. But there's no doubt that this will be the best looking grill out there.
And when I seen the 1st pic, I immediately thought... Lexus!
