[Sparks425Ex]

THat looks pretty good. If i had teh patiences i would do it. Butt ya know how that goes.

[Pappy]

looks great...very good work.:D

very creative, i like

how much you want one of those? or better yet can you draw me up a template with paint and e-mail it to me at mountainbiker77@hotmail.com. i have enough aluminum to cover my whole quad with that stuff! but if you can make me a template i'd appreaciate it. thanx

[L.Vegas400]

i made a template out of a mountain dew box, and cut a rough piece with a band saw. the most time spent(about 45 min) was sanding the edges for a great fit. i would be happy to make more. send my a pm if you want one and ill see what i can do.

its aluminum plate. about 1 to 1.5 mm thick. i can make you one(depending on the finish you want) for around $20 or so. 20 is for a sized, cut, smoothed, with a sanded finish. this is what mine is. they can also be painted to your liking, polished, or beadblasted for a more dull finish.

why were they saying foil?

[Big - D Racing]

That's a good idea.

[stiffy]

That's sweet where do you get your aluminum?

[Pappy]

hehe...it would look badazz if it were ....ummm i forget the name of it...it looks like it has swirls in it...someone help me out here.

[Pappy]

damascene is what its called....its a swirled finish ...you see it alot on show cars i will try to get a pic

[Pappy]

i hope ya can see it in this pic

[L.Vegas400]

i could come close to that. maybe not the small equivelent circles. ill try some different things. you can usually buy the aluminum from hardware supply stores i think. i havent checked around here, but at home you can atleast.

[Castor-426ex]

i dont have headlights...lol

or id buy one from ya...i like em

[L.Vegas400]

i appriciate that;)

[brian400ex]

[GreatAim]

[L.Vegas400]

[Social Misfit]

[L.Vegas400]

hey pappy i figured out how to kinda make those swirls like you were talking about. i need to get the digi camera back so i can take a picture of the piece iv been tinkering with

[DantheEXman]

I WANT ONE! lol

[renegade_400ex]

id buy one but border fees are too much :grr so i may hafta make a few....:p

[Loeryder]

Little tip on the border fees...

If it was your birthday and there was a birthday card in the package and "GIFT" was written on the outside of the box the person receiving it usually pays no tariffs.

Little tip we use for shipping parts back n forth, just make sure it's cleaned up and gift wrapping in side the shipping box is a bonus.

[KrazyKid300ex]

can you make me one becuase i have renthlas and I don't want to put the key in the plastic....

[L.Vegas400]

do you have stock plastics? if so i dont know anyone with a 300, so its kinda hard(well impossible) to make without a pattern of some sort.

[KrazyKid300ex]

i can give you measurements

[Pappy]

cool man..get some pics up...


another tip fpr u fellas across the border.....try having the shipper write warranty on the box;)

[L.Vegas400]

do this: use a coke box or such and make a cut out of the exact size you want and send it to me. my addy is in a pm to you.

[renegade_400ex]

its not so much as border fees but getting 20 bucks american is like 40 here:huh

[L.Vegas400]

here is the first try

[250x#93]

Looks good

[L.Vegas400]

a new piece i did tonight

[Stevie-D]

me like!

[MX26]

I'll stick with tin foil... I wonder what this guy could do with some Reynolds Wrap??? :D

Heh, Looks very good.

[L.Vegas400]

dremels dont cut aluminum very good:grr

[Rip_Tear]

Sweet! I was going to do some stuff like that for my EX but I didn't have the time to before I left. I also have some "yellow" aluminium that looks pretty sweet with the yellow fenders :D

[L.Vegas400]

i have also made one for the flat spot around the gas filler and foward till the plastic ends, looks real good.

[remlapr]

I bet you could buy some bulk aluminum that already had the pattern machined into it - then just cut and sand it into the finished pieces and sell them on here for probably 600% profit...

[hondarider2006]

Looks pretty nice, how much for one shipped to ak? pm me if you want to ship up to here. Thanks -Nick-
