Jay Leno/Transformers 3 Front Fascia

[tony_c]

Is anyone making the Jay Leno/Transformers 3 front fascia anymore? I'm really interested and remember reading someone was making it but I haven't seen anything since.

ACS Composite makes the T3 front fascia. They sell just the ports and then also the whole front fascia. I believe the ports are around $400 and the whole fascia is $1,100 ish.

Ordered a new front fascia last week and then will start on it, have the molds made, still some time before i have a test unit made.

Are you making an exact replica of the Jay Leno/T3 front with the square fog lights?

[2SSRS@Gen5diy]

As close as i can come i don't have the ability to move the lower grill inward like the Leno car, but it will have the LED fog/DRL lights

The T3 ports are nothing like the Jay Leno ones. I want the Jay Leno front fascia

[Maniature]

yes pls keep us posted i want those led foglights sooo bad hope u can sell it separately D

So do I! The lower grill isn't so much more inward, but its goes higher. The space between the Grille and lower grille is smaller than the Camaro's today.

I dont think any company is making any whole front fascia. Not sure why...maybe too hard?

as for the port inserts...400 bucks...when the whole front fascia cost only 1000...is just retarded. I think it maybe cost them 10 dollars to make and they sell it for 400.

That is what i meant its all part of moving the lower grill in 1" if you look close at the pic you can see it,



Hope that helps

So you know in manufacturing some things that add to the cost are R&D and there is material, i believe the bounding material (for gluing it om to the bumper)cost more then $10 .

I do see what you mean now I see how that could be hard too but you can still have that same look without making the 1" inward, and do you see what I mean? You probably do. So are you making the ports/fascia look just like that? or do you know of anyone who is making that whole fascia?

For the lower grille, I think they cut the lower grille area bigger(the top of the lower grille area on the Jay Leno one is almost as high as the edge thing on the side next to the fog light, I think they just cut a larger lower grille area and put a black plastic shield on the upper area)

EDIT: It does feel like(base on the pictures) that the Jay Leno front is more outward compared to regular SS front fiascia

Well it probably cost them a lot more to develop and make the molds and do everything else before they can sell the port inserts.

It probably cost them $50K to get all the molds and design ready before they can make the ports for $50(material cost)

I dont know of any one making it right now, and till i have made the first sets i dont know what way its going to sale.
