We have had the extrusion samples in stock for a number of weeks now, just test fitting everything to make sure fitment is ok etc, how much we need to mill out? contoured cuts etc Thanks RACESPEC SALES TEAM Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It's a sample piece by the looks of it and what was stated in that post! Nice to see you have a new avatar Blink. The old one was making me blink every time I saw it!

Funny man, Tarek, are you doing the one's without those lines?

Whats the verdict on them???

Not a fan as of yet. Will have to see the final one I guess. But at $300 a pot. No way.

It's almost as though they are too wide? And I'm beginning to think I'd love to see them smooth without the lines aswell, because the lines didn't turn out the way I expected I think. Heres a pic of what the width I thought it would have been closer too

Yeah same Bax, and without the line's, I would prefer to get something Engraved on them myself

The no lines one is coming soon. But they are the same width as the factory items. Thanks RACESPEC SALES TEAM

looks nice obviously will look a world of difference once it is cut to the shape of the factory items but will be hard to sell the majority of vl owners will place them in there "to buy" catagory and that is were it will stay I don't mean to be rude but it is a little bit xe I think obviously that is the cost of the r&d involved so that is what you get I guess

I'm just waiting for the machine shop to mill them to the contours. This is something i did my self, its crude, but shows you what they will look like We have also been able to lower the price to $249 for the complete set We will be doing a prebuy of $199 for the first 25 cars. Thanks RACESPEC SALES TEAM Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I dunno about them, they just look weird, I reckon they would look better with slightly curved edge's, just looks a bit rough. Cant wait to see final product though.

Which curved edges are you referring to? They are identical to the factory ones, just without as many lines through them Thanks RACESPEC SALES TEAM

Pricing will obviously be same or if not better for the smooth ones (minus the lines) ?

Um, as in the edge's... At the end... The corner's. I know they are exactly the same to the Stock one's, but I mean, for paying that much, I expect more than just Silver Stock one's. Maybe im alone in that though

Pricing for both will be the same, as there is no difference in aluminium and die costs Blink, We can't curve edges on them, as they are milled square to contour the straight lines. We have made them exactly the same as the ORIGINAL's as per peoples requests. Price is quite cheap from the PMs i have received so far Each to their own Thanks RACESPEC SALES TEAM

They look like they need to be an inch longer.. Going by this picture Its almost as though the old ones have shrunk a touch, because they should cover that center bit, shouldn't they? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Bax That was just a quick mock up to show you what they will potentially look like, as they are stilled being milled and cut down to the contours of the interior 6 prebuy orders in place Thanks RACESPEC SALES TEAM

ill probobanly be in for a set at 199. theres no chance theyll go even lower once they are in full production. i dont want to pay 199 for them and then they go to 150 or something. the plastics ones from holden would have to be over 100. these seem a good price at around 200
