    The way the OEM do the finish the brush the ABS surface in one direction and you get a brushed plated finish you can also brush the crone with a scotch bright pad after plating do get the desired effect you like

    I got the quote back and here are our options. Extruded, anodised and polished it would be $100 plus shipping each ($200/pair) if we order 40 pairs (price drops a bit per pair due to tooling costs.) CNC from plate with anodising and polishing would be $150 plus shipping each (this is without machining the horizontal grooves in the back which you don't see.)

    Let me know if you want a pair (or several) or know a Daytona owner who can measure their grills since the profile is the same so we could get the numbers up.

    Second quote has come in (cnc from plate) at $120 each. Still waiting for replies from two more suppliers but doubt there will be a huge difference. Let me know if you’re interested at $240/pair plus post. Ten pair minimum but I can flog a couple on EBay if we are close. Two Daytona buyers on board.

    @derekw Few questions:
    - Will the aluminum be raw or finished (anodized, chromed, etc)?
    - Will the valleys be painted or still bare? (assume bare, but checking)
    - Planning to drill the mounting holes or leave them for the customer installation? (since it seems that there may not be a "standard" pattern)
    - Do you know what type of aluminum the shop is planning to use?

    That's a really good price quote. Sent a PM w/some add'l thoughts/questions.

    They will be 6061 machined as per the original design except for the grooves on the back (which are not seen.) Anodized black and then the front face polished. No mounting holes as these were not the same on all as you say.

    I could get the back grooves machined but they would be more expensive, more difficult to make and less stiff (mostly thinking about getting bent in the post.)
