Door Sills - Page 7

PhantomLover007 · 09-01-2010, 08:18 AM

OK. I called MRZ yesterday and they said that they were having problems w/ thier e-mail. I told them that I had sent e-mails to all of the addresses listed on the site and through the comment section on the main site page. They said they would look into it. I explained that it was for door sills for the Grand Am's and they remembered about it. I'm going to call them again to see what is going on. Bear w/ me ya'll.

PhantomLover007 · 09-02-2010, 12:56 PM

Call them today. They saw the e-mails, but haven't had a chance to reply due to being extremely busy. They said that they will reply by tonight. I'll update ya'll when I get it.

AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! bout time

whiteGT99 · 09-07-2010, 10:49 PM

anything new?

Hey. As to whoever is in charge, is it too late to get in on this?
Looking for sills for a 2000 Grand Am GT 2DR.
Fire me a PM.

Also, as a reply to the dude who was saying it might not even be worth it:

I used to do a lot of CNC work. For the most part, it's just typing what you want in, and the font. The computer turns it into code and fires up the laser/torch. Used to do it all the time.
Could EASILY be done in 10 minutes for each custom job, more than likely less by an experienced operator. 600.00 for two hours work? (assuming everyone gets something different, via 10 people) How can 300.00 an hour not be worth it?

PhantomLover007 · 09-09-2010, 04:13 AM

No not too late. I e-mailed them again and called them yesterday and they said that they saw and read the e-mail and will respond then.

grims01gt · 09-09-2010, 05:27 PM

PM me the specs on the sill plates..my neighbor has full access to a cnc that he custom makes stuff...I asked him about doing these as well, so I'll see what I can do...Here's a pic of a Optima Redtop custom plate and holdown that he made...

PhantomLover007 · 09-09-2010, 06:51 PM

DAMN that's nice as fock Grim..

I'll work on that tomorrow.

grims01gt · 09-09-2010, 07:45 PM

now, I just have to decide if I want to relocate, or he said he will make a bracket for me..lemme know what ya come up with..he also has more of the redtop holders if anyone is interested..

PhantomLover007 · 09-09-2010, 07:50 PM

OK man.

Fluidmachine · 09-09-2010, 09:40 PM

Anyone already know what they are getting cut in?

I'm probably gonna just go with the old

"Pontiac Grand AM GT"

I'm kinda stoked for this, these are fecking sweet.

look on page 3 number 60
that is the design we are going with
no word yet if we each get to pick what we want
i highly doubt they let us each get something different

Fluidmachine · 09-10-2010, 05:53 PM

And these are only an inch wide? (I think that's what I measured the spacing at...)

You guys are aware that the only way to get "Pontiac + Arrowhead" on there is to either distend it and make it look frakkin stupid, or EXTREMELY SMALL given the small amount of room. I want to see one now, before I throw money at it. That's gonna look like ass if it's tiny, that's why I was hoping for more lettering, so it actually fills the plate. Lame.

grims01gt · 09-10-2010, 07:58 PM

If I have my buddy design/make them, I don't think I'd go with the arrowhead either...just to small of a space, I like "GT" or "Pontiac" or "SC/T"

That's why I was hoping for
"Pontiac Grand Am GT"
or even just "Grand Am GT"

Fills it out nicely across the whole sill, rather than a little itty bitty "Pontiac" sill at an inch wide.
You can count me out if the arrowhead thing is what's going down.

Hey grims, let me know how things go with your CNC buddy. His Optima hold down was really impressive, and professional. I might hit the shop and just try it myself first and see what happens.

whiteGT99 · 09-23-2010, 12:00 AM

any news recently on these bad boys

PhantomLover007 · 09-23-2010, 12:41 PM

Nope.. Not a peep rom them and it's frustrating as hell.

Grim, you think your buddy can get these going? If he has the capability and the know-how to do these, he's our choice to do this.

grims01gt · 09-27-2010, 08:42 PM

I've been talking to him about it..he's busy at the shop, which is cool, with winter fast approaching anyways..
