I showed the sample grill to my friend and he will ship it to taiwan next week to make molding. The grill will have center bar. for those people who refer has no bar, it will easy to mod it by yourself since it is fiberglass....you even can add fins if you would like..

about the pricing.....I think it will be around $100 to $180. it will be limit production...less than 60 units will be produce. we all think it is a very risky investment because the buyer market is very small. considering it wil fit 99-01 model only and solara was only sold in United States.

some of you guys might think the price is high, well, i guess you can compare the price with the lexus front grill
http://www.spoilers.com/accesscustom/lexgs400.htm
but even aristo GS300 sells in asia countries, such as japan, china, taiwan, hong kong, korea...etc, the market as greater protential then solara, for sure

carbon fiber is possible....but i really cannot gurantee about the price.

The price sounds fair. You can count me in. :D
Although, the CF would be nice.
