"Dear Smitty,
They have been cut out and are at the powder coating company now. Sould be
soon and we'll have the prototypes at leaset. I'm sorry but this is why I
told you it would take a long time because it always does."

In the spring time I'm doin an 03 front upgrade so I hope there ready and shipping by then. Now has anyone recieved any info on the guage pods???They same prolly like Feb so just wondering.

 

any ideas as to how much the grille is gonna run? any pics of the initial design?

 

pics??

 

Smitty what is so special about this grill? Just courious...thanks

 

It's a quality product at a decent price...like 1/2 what we were paying.

Not to mention it's powder-coated & cut to fit.

 

I am just passing the info along, you guys know what I know... so I can not answer a majority of your questions at this TIME.

 

So is it just the upper section, or the upper and lower?

 

Is this for the TL's as well??

 

Read original thread...

 

Read original thread.....

 

Damn, you guys still haven't gotten that shit?

 

What is the big hurry?... is your car going to EXPLODE without a grille or something....

From my understanding they had some INTERNAL problems over the Holidays..(EX: November & December)....

BOTTOM LINE:
Atleast it is coming along and getting done right the first time.

 

Thanks you can post but cant answer yes or no.

 

BOTH....! What would've yes or no told you ? Next time maybe you can

 

Tough guy, we didn't have a whole lotta info when this thing got going & still don't.

So, like Smitty said, go read the post. Your answer may be there...may not.

 

BTW how can you have time to post but not read original thread..? Seems to work both ways doesn't it...

 

whats the thread title of the original thread? a link would even be better.

 

Heres goes another thread down the shitter...now all we need is needledick Sam to step in and add his .02 cents so it can get shut down for sure

IBTL....

 

Oh god, please someone shoot me....

Kev, look in the first post at the top of this page.. there are letters in BLUE, that say.... "The Old Thread"...


C.L.I.C.K. on it and READ...

 

Here you go :

Well directly from the MAIN man's mouth...

Hey Smitty


Our retail prices would be something to this effect: Lower bumper grille would be $59.99 with the upper
grille costing $39.99 and the side grilles being $34.99. We will offer a group buy on acura-cl.com for
$99.99 shipped for the complete set. This is quite a bit less then the other guy. Now I'm not faulting
him for what he's doing if people are willing to pay that much and it's all that's available. The one problem
I see is when he cuts our grilles the cut edge is then bare metal and prone to rust. When we make them
they are cut and then powder coated so the edges are coated along with the rest of the grille. You hook
us up with a CL like the one he's selling the grilles for and everyone will be happy. We don't need a TL
because we already have a guy set up to come here next Saturday. Let me know what you think. Also we have
Our grilles cut out about every 4-6 weeks in very large quantities so it may be some time after we make
the templates to when we actually have them up for sale. Let me know what you think.

Thank You

Thanks Jonesi.

 

:jump2: :jump2:

 

Thank Smitty for getting this and keeping it going...!

 

100 dollars for the entire set. great price.


hope they look good smitty.

some of you guys ever order from comptech? they take longer than this usually....

 

K i accidentally skimmed over it. And i asked is it just for the upper. So saying just NO would have answered my question obviously. Im sorry im on a car forum asking questions about cars. Nexttime maybe you should try to be less of an ass.

 

 

any type of idea when they will be available?
thanks!

 

Hopefully before summer...! Winters around here suck so I don't even need them for a few months..

 

 

 

my friend ordered from these guys, for an eclipse. it was well made but it didnt fit his car at all. thats just one experience but i though i would throw it out

 

hahaha... my bad smitty.

 

Awesome Price man! Keep Me Posted on The grille INFO!! @ VeeralS05@hotmail.com I need Pictures of the Grille When Available man!!

 

Damn, this is taking FOREVER...

But here is the UPDATE as of 4/30/2004

CJ

The TL-S is completed and we are just waiting on our most recent order to come through so we can begin selling them. We made the templates and fit the TL-S grilles. The CL still needs some adjustments. We made the prototypes and they didn't fit quite right. We didn't make the templates for the CL. When we have to rely on others to make the templates fit the prototypes and send us the adjustments it takes more time. I don't think I will pursue having others make grille templates in the future. It has been a nightmare working on this project not to mention the time and money lost so far and we still don't have a finished product. From now on all prototypes will be made in house. We really want the TSX but only if we can gain access to one.

Hopefully after making the adjustments to the upper grille and having another set of prototypes made and shipping them off and waiting to have them fit we will finally be able to get the CL grilles to market.

Thank You

So good news for you TL guys!!!.. they are on the way..

and the TSX guys better contact me so we can get them hooked up with Grille TECH grilles too... just need someone local to them.
Maybe I should post this over in the TSX forum after we get these CL grilles complete.

Smitty

 

That's freakin awesome.... can't wait

 

The only real problems with fit had more to do with the material itself than the template.

Upper fit OK with a tad bit of trimming, the lower is fine by me the way it was. I've reported my thoughts back to Chris at Grille Tech.

 

Grille-Tech has my white outer grille trim as of 4/12. The upper piece should fit perfectly when he's done. Lower piece has been on my car for months now with no problems. Side pieces I can't vouch for since I have the roadlamps in, but Grey said the size was perfect. Only issue with them I think is finding a way to fasten them without putting a screw hole in the housing (if you're worried about that).

 

All I'll need is the upper piece, so assuming they got the TL-S correct I'm all over that

 

Why did it take so long for you to get them back to him?????????
