Custom Machined Parts For Your 370Z

WarmAndSCSI · 07-01-2010, 02:17 PM

I just chatted with my friend who produces billet stuff, and he says this is a perfectly feasible item for him. He figures the final price would be about $200/set on emblems like these.

We'll probably start working on prototypes pretty soon; I'll be donating my stock emblems for the cause. And just FYI, these items are all produced by us - not overseas - and are hand-finished. We're talking very meticulous attention to detail.

BTW, my friend is also a professional powder coater and he let me know that anodizing would not be a reasonable option for any exterior piece because of a lack of UV resistance. He suggests powder coating as the best option. Plus it'll look better

I won't reveal any other items we're brainstorming on, but we've got a few ideas that should do very well.

Could I get a pic of the set? If so, this sounds like a more than reasonable cost compared to the options available on the market.

As soon as prototypes are produced, there will be plenty of pics. That may be a while, however.

Yes, I'll start up a new thread once we start prototyping items. It may be a few days because I don't have any time this week to work on this. If somebody wants to donate an emblem to us, it can start sooner.

This idea went to hell in a hand basket

I hope a real manufacture decides to produce some that we wont need to get a loan to purchase emblems
