    Can your guy leave the camera hole open in the half moon piece? Would love to get a backup camera in there later.

    That should not be a problem, mine has the back up camera in it and I told him not everyone is going to want the hole, but some will have to have it due to already having a camera in theirs.

    Leaving now to get the list, be back on in a few hours with the numbers and should have a general idea when he will get started on everything, and when these can become ready to purchase. Thanks for everyones item list and time.

    If he takes this cladding piece off to make a mold some pics of the camera mounting would be awesome!

    Ok, after a very busy day and now getting home. I talked to him today and he had a few things off my VX, he will start making a mold tomorrow of the insert or half moon. He said that the list is a rough estimate, but could flex a little due to the difficulty of the more complex (not straight) parts. Once he gets done with mine I can lock in all the prices with a for sure price list, but I believe for the most part, this is what we will be looking at.

    Half moon- $75-100
    Hood- $400-450
    Hood Insert- $200-250 Also if your wanting a scoop, I think what he will do is have you order whatever scoop you want and make a mold of it, to mold on to the hood mold. And then return the scoop, that way everyone can have what they want.
    Cladding- $1,500-2,000
    Mirrors- $200 This will not be a cover, but the whole mirror case and the bracket on the door that holds the mirror.


    I still don't have prices on the over cladding skid plates or tail light covers, because I don't have those and it will be about a month before I get the tail light covers to make molds. Also, he is looking into the interior pieces, since there is a lot of curves, and places for screws and tabs, he wants to make sure what will all go into replicating those.

    I will keep everyone posted with his progress as well as pictures when my parts are finished, I will be getting a call tomorrow on how the first making of the mold turns out.

    Thanks

    Put me down for a half moon with the camera cut-out. Also really, really, really considering a hood insert with scoop but I guess I'll have to figure out which one.

    Thanks for the legwork VX-13! And for offering up your insert AlaskaVX!

    I'm still alive, I've been putting over 80 hours at work and haven't even had a chance to stop in and see how things are coming along. Since I haven't got a phone call from him, I know it's not done yet. I know we had around a month time frame for him to build molds of just the few items I was wanting, also including a few that others wanted down the road. I'll try and get a hold of him within this week and give you an update.
