Default RAPTOR Inspired Grill insert for 97-03 trucks!

This ad is in response to the overwhelming "want" of Dan Yokim's design Raptor type grill insert. I have gotten his permission to sell these based off his design for us guys in the states. I have a local machine shop that I work with every day making them on their water jet. They will be just like dan's design and will be raw aluminum so that you may paint or powder coat to match your truck. I can also see about powder coating them for extra $$ if the buyer wants.

Once we get 20 orders I can get them to your door for $75 shipped which I think is pretty reasonable. You must follow dans instructions to mount them or be creative as there are no provisions for mounting tabs yet... (I may look into this real soon)

I repeat, this is not my design nor my idea, think of me as a US based "distributor" if you will.

EDIT: List of names that have made a deposit to reserve a grill emblem are:
1.ricardo menchaca
2.Jack Trudeau
3.Joshua Wischover
4.Brandon Kinley
5.Austin Poirier
6.William Mielke
7.Joshua Baker
8.
9.
10.

Paypal can be sent to darbogast@contactcorp.net

As soon as I get 20 orders I'll get them scheduled. If for some reason we don't reach 20 orders them I'll order anyway but the price will be about $10-15 higher, is everyone ok with that?

Here's how I mounted mine...

I test fit the letters to see where the horizontal bars of the billet grille would touch the back of the letters and then ran 4 beads of JB Weld along the entire back of the letters. Then I set it in place and threaded several shoe laces around the letters and through the grille and then tied them tight to hold it in place overnight. Wasn't anything fancy but it worked like a charm lol.

Well my billet has like a chrome front to it. So i'm wondering how i can attach it to the grille without actually jb'ing it to my grille. Maybe have some threaded studs welded to the backs of them and then put some washers behind the grille and nut them. Is it one big piece?
