Oh God yes! Best news ever!

Keep it at a good price range and I'm totally placing an order! Just make sure to keep one in the style that you originally posted, the Lexus one!!

I dont know about that price you posted? dont think there is any way a billet grille will cost that much the billet block used to make that grill cost that much. Maybe a fiberglass one.

Add 20 hours of machine work plus the electircity to power that machine. and machinist dotn get paid 8 bucks an hour. Than you have to add that the person that did the CAD Deisgn has to get paid also, every little thing adds up.

This wasnt as simple as making a mold for the eyelids.

I'd assume it would be around about the same price as the Junction Produce LS430 grille...

Damn. That sucks. Junction Produce grills are about $680.

Exactly. I'd feel like a low-ball to ask if the price would be around $800. Machine time isn't cheap.

Wow. And I thought paying 400 for a grille was expensive. It sounds like the mafia grille will be more.

I don't think it's worth paying that much money just for a grille. Looks like I'm scratching this off my list. I'd rather put the money towards a Five Axis Kit.

the diff is JP is plastic and over priced for a plastic grill.

I know there are many waitng for this.

I dought we will sell many of these grills. Those who buy it will have a very rare grill and not something that not everyone has.

This was more of a project to showcase on what forjworks is capable of doing and a learning process for forjworks..

THats very true...

just think of it this way.. at least you'll know your the few that has this grill rather than everyone has the same grille. People will say damm this guy is nuts! HE must have paid the MAFIA good money for this grille..

It appears this grill is well out of my reach, but nonetheless, it's certainly an especially fine and highly unique grill. I congratulate Marshall and ForjWorks for producing it, and there's no question those that purchase will surely have something special !

so who will be the first to buy one.. for a grill like that that concidered cheap. Your buying something that was well though out and made of the finest material.

if you look at grills from the Escalades and Dogdes you know those STRUP grills..

Ah, no...

Its not that its not nice, but $2000 for a grill on a $16k car is just more than most are going to do. I look at the rim and tire set I could get for $2k. I understand what it is, but that's too much, and to be honest, I like the look of the billet kit I already have.

Now, I will be ordering smoked tailight covers from you shortly, and I will be buying the bonnet spoiler unless I go with a CF hood.

we understand guys we knew these grills wouldnt be a huge seller and most scion owners woulnt spend this kind of money for a girll. But we at fojworks accomplsihed something and learned alot from this project. The pics of this grille doestn do any justice. You have to see the actual product. there are fine details in it you cant see.

Looks like i wont be seeing it on my car soon its just hard to tie up the machine for 20 hours. Unless we have a slow slow period that has a window opening of 20 hours.

The prototype is somewhere in Floirda and we hope that person that has it will sooner or later start showing that car and fufill that sponsorship commitment they made with us. If you do see please take some pics and send it to us.

Any Ballers here wana order! LOL

Woah... Um... Looks nice and all but I would be *REALLY* suprised if you guys sold more than what I can count on one hand.

Insane...

I was *really* looking forward to this, but the price is beyond insane. I don't think it was worth the time and money as a company to produce something like this, myself. You have to know your market and well, FAIL

Wow -- $1600 for the powder coated version (my thinking being flat black). I was expecting in the neighborhood of $600 to maybe even $800 from earlier discussion (still way beyond any possibility for me), but this is truly breathtaking -- cough, cough! Hey, I guess it served it's purpose though, got you guys up to speed on the 5-axis machine ! Good luck on sales -- at 1/10 or more the base price of the target vehicle, you've got a major challenge ahead of you.
