Open face grill interest

A member came up to me and asked me to see if I can make this grill that he has here on a photoshop he made. I said yes if there is enough interest. Since I want to make a grill and have plans to do one and only one for now, I want to see what you guys would think of this, and if you guys like it then Id go along with this.

The price of this would be $149.99 Primered. $259.99 Carbon Fiber

Group buy people w/ deposit gets $20 off!

+ Would be fiberglass or carbon fiber
+ Ready to install and can be installed easy
+ Guaranteed fit with out heavy modifications to the grill or bumper.
+ Can come painted

UPDATE 3/29/09
The grill was ordered on tuesday and now we wait to receive it. Once we get it we will modify it
Please add your name to the list!

FINAL UPDATE
- The grills are now ready to sell! Price is $149.99 Primered, $259.99 Carbon Fiber + $20 for shipping w. insurance and tracking! PM me to order

Id make it as flush as possible. Id have a test fitter of coarse fit it before any are shipped out and if anything Id purchase the front bumper to test fit each one. How many other companies would do that? HMMM?! lol

My interest is pending what exactly would be visible behind an open-face grill like that. I'm gonna take a look at mine tomorrow to see if it'd suit me . . .

Have you considered black grill mesh in the new opening? Both for aesthetics & peace of mind from road debris.

I would deffinatley be installing mesh grill behind as a courtesy to give the grill a complete look. Painted grills or CF will come with the mesh installed, unpainted will come with the mesh uninstalled.
