Let me clarify for you.. "it wouldn't be found on my car if it was free".. that help?

For those that are at least dry behind the ears.. you know how it is.. just not my style.
Perhaps it is time for you to go elsewhere to increase your post count. And while there, is it possible to get over yourself........ I know, I know, you just can't help yourself; just as I couldn't help myself here. I may be a bit off topic, but at least I have a dog in this fight.

Touchee, Kimo Slobey.

Now back to a useful post.
Hey Bob, if we get 5 more orders to make the 20+ mark before the original ones are shipped, will we receive the discount for the 20+ buys?

Yes, I think I could work that out with Zunsport and make that happen . . . All 15 of the current buyers have now paid. I'll be sending in the money and this batch of orders to Zunsport tomorrow.

I will leave this group buy thread "open" until close of business November 29th to see if we can round up at least 5 more buyers and get to that next discount level . . . You guys who were "on the fence" or "short on funds" we're giving you more time . . . buy yourself a Christmas present!

As he promised, Karl Edmondson (our friend in the UK) made the trip to Zunsport today giving them his car for the day so they could take off his grilles and make templates. Here are some photos from today . . .


Tracing the pattern and cutting the stainless steel wire mesh . . .

CONFIRMED . . . no emblem on our grilles . . .


Doc has two SRT6 Crossfires . . . a black one and a blue one. Getting a black grille set for his black SRT6 is a no brainer but he will only do it if he can also get a second "unfinished" grille set that he'll have painted locally in blue to match his blue SRT6 . . . Waiting to hear from Zunsport on what they will do to accommodate him . . .

actually looking to buy them both unpainted. Paint shop is next door to me. He's a friend, and I can paint them myself in his paint booth. I haven't heard back yet...I will let you all know before the deadline for sure
I was just letting you know what I was thinking. I was enquiring with them directly so I wouldn't be messing with this group buy. I really liked them after seeing them installed on the donated car for fitment. I hadn't seen them up to now. I like the ones I have but you can't see it in my photos but the blue one isn't all blue. Only the out part is blue, the center is silver to match the silver on the car. I know they wouldn't paint them color specific for that price. As for the black, I may mix that up as well. Just don't know until I would have them in hand. So. Proceed with your group buy, and if this doesn't work for me, so be it, I was just thinking you were all close to the 20 mark, this might be a way to help get there, and I get what I want as well. But you are 4 short right now. So, even if it works for me, you need 2 more before the 29th. I won't be disappointed either way.

Come on people . . . the grilles are in production and we only need a few more buyers to put us at the next price break! Doc is pondering a purchase of two grille sets. If he jumps in we will only need two more buyers to put us at that 20 mark! How about you members who were "on the fence" or "temporarily short on funds"?? This group buy closes out at the end of the business day on November 29th. The grille set will cost about +$100.00 if you miss out on this group buy. Get yourself an early Christmas present!

OleDoc2U just confirmed his order for TWO of the 3 pc grille sets. We only need two more buyers and EVERYONE who has ordered a 3 pc grille set will save an extra $13.00!

Happy Birthday to me.....lol Just 2 more people... You all know I love my 2 grilles I have, but I am in for a change. I like the fitment a little better, and I am contemplating a color change on both grilles this time around....so hopefully Bob will get us there...

We just added an order for a BLACK upper grille only from DeltaCrossfireBob. We only need one more order to put us at the next price break level where everyone who ordered / orders a 3 pc set will get an additional $13.00 discount! See post #3 for the itemized order log . . .

Believe me I am working all angles I can to get the wife to allow me to 'redistribute' some funds to allow for this.

Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!
