Anyone be interested in Billet Grilles for $50-60 shipped?
I wanted to clear this up a bit and start getting organized. Here are questions to some FAQs
I will post these on my website for pre-order purchase sometime today for credit card customers.
Shipping to Canada is going to run an extra $13 for UPS and $25 for USPS. Sorry guys I wish I made enough to cover $35 in shipping on a $60 item.
The final price is $60 shipped.
These should begin shipping out late this week to early next week. I have to inspect everything and individually package them. I will update tracking with Paypal which will send a tracking update whether you use a credit card or Paypal.
Click Here to Pay for your Grille. (Don't forget to input your CorvetteForum username)
To checkout with a credit card instead of paypal please select checkout as guest under the paypal login on the final checkout screen. I chose to let paypal take your credit card information instead of my website. I chose to do this so that if my website were to be hacked you wouldn't lose any credit card information. Paypal spends millions securing their website and I can't spend that. I prefer you are safe over the convenience of inputting your card info on my website and then transmitting it. Pretty easy to do, just be on the lookout for it on the final page that shows the paypal login. Thanks
I am also going to be having an online Car Show for everyone that orders from this first batch. I will create a post where Corvetteforum members will vote on their favorite car and the top two people will get their Grilles for FREE!

***3/22/2013 Update***
Pics of all the grilles being imported. These are all actual units.
***Update***
Interest list added. Please send me a PM or post on here you would like to be added to the pre-order list. I WILL NOT be taking money from you until the products are already on the way to me and I have tracking. At that point we would be about 3 weeks out. At this point no money trading hands. 
Should be about 40 days from now when they arrive.
I am just curious to see how much interest there would be.
They are 6061-T6 billet aluminum with a polished lip and powdercoated backing. They are not made in the USA (I have American Car Craft for those but they also cost $130).
I am still working on pricing but I am thinking $50-60 shipped is probably possible.
Any interest?
********UPDATED PHOTOS********
Wow is all I can say, they literally look the same (I promise you couldn't tell them apart if you were holding both). In fact the only thing the ACC looks better on is the polishing on the lip, but truth be told the powdercoating on the Chinese unit looks better because the ACC unit was wrapped in bubble wrap before it was fully cured so the bubble wrap left grooves in the powdercoating and there is a small amount of powdercoating on the top of the grille but the Chinese version doesn't have such flaws.
The one on the right here is from China
The one on the top is from China
The one closest to us is from China
These are installed photos of the ACC units on a base c6, GS/Z06, and C5

From the pics the grill looks to be identical to what I bought years ago for over $200.
