Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

Ok, so I added up the cost and if I get at least 25 orders I can sell them for the following:

-Polished, ready to install- $67

-Sanded and prepped for paint and/or polishing - $53
(I highly recommend using a buffing wheel instead of a dremel or drill to polish it. If you don't have the material to polish aluminum, expect to spend ~$20 in buffing wheels, compound, cleaner, etc)

This cost includes the development costs I have spent and still spending (including the Vendor fee for this site). I will also include the hardware to install it and a template to drill the mounting holes with. Shipping will be $5 shipped to your door within the 48 states.

I won't sell them completely raw because it's too easy to sand away the curvature and radius with the coarse grit paper needed to remove the tooling marks.

I will start a list and when I have at least 25 orders I will start the ball rolling. It will take a couple weeks to get them completed after I place the order.

Awesome. As said, 2 here. I can paypal now to get you started.

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

Cool, you can paypal me the money at jmahan@hotmail.com

Forgot to mention Paypal...since I'm only making a small amount of money for my time on these, please add $2 to the cost for each plate ordered if paying with Paypal to cover half of the paypal fees. I think paying half the fees is fair.

If you are buying more than one, shipping is $5 for the first and $2 for each additional one.

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

The paypal fee is 3%....

So figure send an additional $2.50 per $80 dollar order.

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

Where did you see that rate? Straight from the Paypal Site...

"Receive payments funded by Credit Card, Debit Card or Buyer Credit 4.9% + $0.30 USD "

So an $82 order is actually $4.31, so I'm asking less than half

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

Oh, bravo. Mine is only 2.9%, but im some ninja member...

4.9% for the loss.

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

I want to be a ninja member too.... :(

Actually, I think you were helping me out by suggesting people send $2.50 instead of the $2 I was asking :metal:

My bad....

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

I'm in for one polished. PM me when they are ready with a total price ( ship to 29445) and I will send payment via Paypal.

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

HAHA, I tried..

Ya, my transfer rate is 2.9% from credit cards or from paypal members.... Weird.. I have had this account since they started... Uberninja member status. ahaha.

Good work on those bezels man.. I think you should try and make more then 25 to cut that initial cost... I was thinking about picking one up.. $77 was just a bit steep... How much is the cost if you make 50...

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

Count me in. That is an awesome piece of bling to clean up a slice/dice dash. Just say when and I'll ante up.

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

Fair enough.

When do you think you'll have them done?

2 pieces at 77 each
7 for shipping
4 for paypal fees?

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

Well, I think I'll be old and grey by the time I got 50 committed people. Compared to other billet items out there designed specifically for our trucks, I think the price is pretty reasonable.

I'm hoping to have 25 purchases before I order so whenever you are ready to pay...

When I have 25 payments I will place the order, from there it should take roughly 2 weeks for them to be ready to ship to you. Yes, your total is correct :chevy:

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

Ok, based upon the old and grey comment, should I wait?

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

That comment was to reach a quantity of 50, I'm only waiting till I have 25 orders

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

Ok, so the dumb question, what would it cost to run the two I want?

(How many do you have committed now?)

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

NM, I have faith. Paypal sent for 165.00 from grendelATpirate4x4.com.

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

Boy, I would love to see some pics before I commit to one. I'm feeling pretty good about this though.

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

Slightly off topic here but I am going to put a Sony X-Plode stereo in my truck and am wondering will I have to cut the dash to do it. If I need to cut the dash then I'd be intersted in one of these plates too.

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

Any stereo that isn't the classic 2 knob style will require you to cut the dash, if it isn't already cut. In other words, if the stereo plays CD's you have to cut the dash...

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

Here are some pics of the radio plate in the heater control location. It fits so well that if I didn't know better I would say it was designed for that location ;) The bottom is flush with the bottom of the dash....

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

I just sent paypal for 1 polished Billet Bezel.
Add one more to the list.

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

Here are some pics in the stock stereo location. It looks a little odd since my dash isn't cut, but you get the idea on how well it fits the location and fully covers the stock knob holes. Also one with my cheezy photoshop using paint...

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

Got both your payments...expecting a couple more payments this evening as well

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
 

Look Great

Re: Billet Radio Plate for cut dash...opinions?
