Default In serious need of a grille

I've shopped around on eBay and everywhere else I could find. Is there anyone who belongs to the forum who is willing to part from their grille. SLP preferably but I can work with anything at this point. Adding razzi kit with dynaflex front end and painting it bright white.....but I'm left with a space that needs to be filled in with a grille. Carid lied and said it already had a mesh grille. The bottom does but not the top. Please help if u can. New to this forum and already finding great info.

Ur not the only one looking.. Ive been searching tirelessly for a decently priced Tony Stewart Grill but I would settle for the SLP if they didnt want $250 for it.....

Put some pics up when you can...

Whhhelll, the guys closed for the day.. I can get in touch with him tomorrow and see what hes got out in the yard..

You seem like youre just about as desperate as me for one.. I just dont have the money to spend ATM, on a grille at least. Have you looked into any kind of 3d printing to get one?? Its something I was wondering a while back and has just slipped my mind since.

someone in this forum brought that up, but I don't think it went anywhere as of yet.

I had looked into the 3D printing of the grille. The printer wanted the grille off my car to use as a template (not happening, he is based in China) and then they wanted $20,000 U.S. dollars for a mold of it. It was getting to deep so I broke off contact.


Dear Greg,

The car mold is expensive, about US$20000 for this mold.
If you only have the sample, you can send it to me, we can do 3D scanning, and get the 3D drawing. But it's not as precise as the original drawing.

Let me know your thought.
Best regards,
Patrick

I have access to multiple 3D printers ranging from a Robo3D to a $120,000 Objet. The print on the Objet would be very expensive but printing on a Robo3D or an Ultimaker 3 would be fairly cheap material wise. Problem is I don't have a grille to model from either

Can you come up with any kind of estimate? Say if someone found a grille for you to borrow, can you ballpark 1 or several??
