Who is intrested in buying a set if a member were to make molds from a set and sell replicas?

How are you going to mold them? What material? Factory Style retaining clips?

 

Just keep in mind that the OEM grills are $25 per pair from the Mazda dealer. These are plastic, if someone could mill them out of aluminum and powder coat them they'd be worth $50 easily since they'd last forever.

 

Mine never had any retaining clips? I didn't even know they had clips.... Its just an idea right now i'm not sure what kind of material

 

Hmm they are only 25$ maybe i'll just buy a set.... i never looked into how much they were....

 

Only $25 at the dealer.. hell thats where im getting em

 

damn, i didn't know that either. it probably takes a coupe years to get to them though....

but of course these people have them for $30 shipped in CF.

**** i'll get em from the dealership thanks very much!

 

most dealerships put in an order and have it 2 days later, thats where i get most of my interior parts, beats haggling for em. i think the s5 radio surround costs like 140 and a pillars 100 bux

 

Those hardly qualify for function.

 

bah! just cut holes in them

 

I got mine at mazdatrix, shipped quick and OEM mazda, I think they were $15.18 each

 

i just covered my demister holes with thin carbonfiber i got from corksport, looks really nice (i keep carbon fiber tastefull) if oyu made some that where superior to the stock ones id consider them . . .

 

The dealer ones were 15 dollars a piece last time I checked when I bought one. And it doesn't take long to get them from the dealer, only took me 1 day.

 

wow i dident know the oems were so cheap

 

i wouldn't say $25 for 2 small pieces of plastic necessarily is cheap.

 

^ agreed do you know how much it costs to make them? about $1.00 (taking into consideration labor and material costs per piece, this is an estimate) $25.00 is kinda a pain in the *** for vent pieces that are just going to break again . . .

 

try about $.20 to make a pair, including labor costs. it is all supply and demand, of course they need to make money on their parts but they made the original costs to cover the development and tooling when they sold the cars 15+ years ago so now you are breaking your wallet to help engineer newer more costly cars like the RX8.
