Emblemless grill?

Just curious if there would be any interest for an emblemless stock grill, for both the coupe and sedan?

I made one for my G35 coupe and people have been asking me to make them one. So i am currently in the process of making a mold for those.

Now if there is enough interest i may starts doing G37 grills as well.
Only downside would be that you would not be able to obtain the stock finish(black chrom or w/e they use)

Are you designing it to look just like stock but just without the emblem? Also, if you're not doing the chrome finish, what finish would you be doing? Would we get a choice?

Exactly that. Stock grill with out the emblem. As far as finish. I will primer them all, and i don't have a paint shop so they would be painted with aerosol spray cans. W/E color you want. But if you would like to get it professionally painted at a shop i could just primer it(price would be lower).

^not sure the price yet guys. Depends on price for casting the molds, and amount of material i would need.
As soon as i have a price for the G35 coupe grill i can give an estimated price. I have noticed that your grill untouched got for 2-3 X's the price of our coupe grills($100-$175).

Yeah i am in socal!

Also ^this was made using bondo, as that was what was used in the DIY, i will be using a diff method this time as to make a perfestly smooth surface as well as prevent any cracking or spliting, as you can somewhat see in the pics above!
