Introducing the new fog light grills ----------------------------

These are made from a solid black plastic, not white like the OEM, so no need to paint unless you want another color than black (hot pink for those Miata guys).

So, if it gets hit by a rock. It may chip, but it's black all the way through, not white like the others. They will be $ 84 a pair on the pre-purchase. I will have the first production run this next week (end of the week as it's short).

I'm also working on having these plated in 3 stage nickel chrome. I'm not sure if it will be successful, but my plater has done this before, and seemed to think he can dial it in. He has 3 samples that he is working on this next week, if he gets it done this next week I'll post pictures.

Not sure exactly what the adder will be for chrome, but I can tell you it will be allot less than OEM, and I won't do it if they don't look identical.

Hope this was worth the wait.

I'll be at a campground in the middle of nowhere in a tent and will miss this momentous occasion... (Plus the wife squashed my plan to drive the 914.)

Does this have anything to do with Geraldo and a sealed vault?

Posted by: flipb May 28 2010, 08:14 AM

I think he's launching the signature product of 914rubber.com:

Condoms for the longs to keep moisture from getting in

Posted by: bandjoey May 28 2010, 08:31 AM

Raintrays or rubber bodies?

Posted by: RON S. May 28 2010, 08:36 AM

Maybe he's reproduced entire replacement 914 bodies just like Dynacorn has done with the Mustang & Camaro bodies!!!!!!



Way to go

The WAS top is in tooling, and I do plan to make the target price reasonable.

Mark, I'm really disappointed. I really thought you were making the little rubber heater cable caps.


What a let down.









KIDDING!

I'm in for the door lock pre-buy also but can you hold the order and send it when you send the fog light grilles and save shipping charges?

I want two sets of the chrome ones.

Posted by: computers4kids May 29 2010, 09:01 AM

Shoot, I was hoping you were going to make "light weight" 75/76 bumpers.

Way to go Mark on the grills though. I'll wait for the chrome.

Posted by: Nürburg Nomad May 29 2010, 11:45 AM

Wow this is exciting! Naturally I'll be buying a set as well, I just re-did the whole front end with the new solid rubber bumper top, horns etc but reused the worn original fog light grills only now painted metallic silver for lack of a better option since they were all chipped up!

Now I can make it look 100%! Plus you've priced these very reasonably as always! : )

Posted by: sww914 May 29 2010, 03:01 PM

This is not what I had hoped for. I was hoping for a folding plastic girlfriend that would fit in the trunk of a teener.

OE Heater Cable Sleeves in rubber are still available from AA - I just got some recently.

Also, the door lock bushings are old news, been on another post for a week as he worked them out.

Dave - that's also a reminder of what the center seat/cushion is for ....... the prettiest one!

Posted by: Mikey914 May 30 2010, 06:04 PM

Black plastic ones will start shipping this next Friday.

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 5 2010, 12:41 AM

Just wanted to post the follow up on this. I've been working on the plating on these and running a few parts through the plating process. We're tweaking the plating as the base adhesion is good, but copper substrate wasn't bonding properly with the nickel. We have a little more work to do on this, and I'm confident that we can make it work, but it's more of a learning curve than we thought. The good news is it 's just a matter of getting the copper properly activated. We'll be playing around with this this next week. But it did cut into my production in time and the few sets that I had planned to ship. I will be contacting all that signed up for these as soon as I have more of the black plastic ones ready. The chrome will be about 2 weeks behind, and I will have the numbers finalized this next week as soon as the process is correct.

Count me in for a set of chrome when available

Posted by: montoya 73 2.0 Jun 24 2010, 01:42 PM

any word on the chrome?

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 24 2010, 03:14 PM

Need to do up another test batch. We when with tripple Nickel, but last last one the chemisty looked great until we hit it with cold water. Normally not a problem, but the plastic didn't retain the heat like the metal would have, and it cracked. We need top confirm that if we make a few minor changes we will get waht we want, we also have to perform the adhesion testing,which from what we have done so far looks like it will not be a problem.

The problem here is that I will be on vacation starting the 3rd for about 12 days, and we will be out of town, so unless I can get a set in before I leave there will be a delay.

Posted by: dem Oct 17 2010, 07:22 AM

Is the chromed idea doomed? I have fancy new stainless steel bumpers coming from Vietnam and shabby fog light grills.

Posted by: Mikey914 Oct 17 2010, 08:20 AM

No, just my plans keep getting moved around. I have to get these prepped and over to the chroming co, and it requires that I shoot a solvent based sunstrate, so I need to go over to my buddys booth to shoot it (also if it's npt perfectly clean ist shows). He's been too busy when I've had time lately, but I'm hoping to have the substrate shot to do this this week.

Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 11 2012, 02:55 PM

Well in the long journey, but finishing on these has been figured out. I need to change some of my formulation on the material I use to cast, as the the process uses more heat than planned for, we have a few good sets, but will be doing another run on these now the process is figured out. Next the windshiled trim

The attached is a picture of the good and the rejects.
I have 7 sets of good ones, and 3 driver's side that turned out.

HI Mark,

I still need two sets in Chrome - but will take one now and one later to give others a shot at the first sets.

Thanks!!

Posted by: rick 918-S Feb 11 2012, 03:10 PM

I need one set of chrome for the Raspberry car. But if someone needs one right away I can wait til the next batch. I still have one car ahead of it to finish first.

Posted by: Type 47 Feb 11 2012, 03:13 PM

I too would be interested in a pair...i'm just starting a resto on my 75' & back dating the bumpers...don't have the fog lights yet...

Do you have these in non fog light grilles? Or maybe I come up with another solution but still want to use the solid bar grille cover.

Posted by: 914coop Feb 11 2012, 03:19 PM

I need a set of chrome ones also. I also can wait it the others still need them.

I'd take a set of chrome just as a spare. I think alllllllll the shiny parts of our cars are going to get more and more rare.

Also an opportunity would be the speednuts to hold them on if you can source some zinc or stainless. I ended up using some crappy black oxide ones dremmeled down.

We are doing up more now we know the process works, but they are about 4 weeks (maybe less) from being ready to ship. The killer part is they have to ship to CA, and back as we couldn't find a local vendor that could do it.

BTW folks, these look pretty dead on for the OEM factory ones! I'd get them in chrome, except that I'd already popped for the Porsche parts before Mark started making them. The shot of one in Mark's bumper looks like a perfect fit too!

Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 12 2012, 08:58 PM

Thx
By the way the problem with the Q4 is that you can program the computer, but it has a mind of its own, and many times I have just kicked off the auto pilot and hand fly it. Something wrong with an ac that you command a 30 deg turn to the left and it goes right.

Actually still waiting on finishing. They tell me this week by Friday. Longer than I want, but they got a larger run of product in front of me for Intel.


Sorry posted in error this was a reference to the wheel caps. I'm still cating these at about 1 set a day, so I'm still about 3 weeks before I'll have enough to send out for finishing.

Why would I want to buy a set of these chromies?

I've spent the last 5 years scrounging around, buying used ones, in order to find a matching pair that look decent....then you offer a brand new pair at a killer price. There goes my carefully selected inventory.

Ah, .'veal

Can you put me down for a pair, Mark? I've already bought just about every other product you have put out there for us, may as well keep my percentage up.

In other words....THANKS for another great and useful product

No problem,
Just trying to get these out there as $120 a side is just stupid money. So I stepped up.

Thanks!

Mark,

Lately I haven't been on the 914 World site consistently, and I was wondering if this group buy has been started. I know your first post indicates it will run through March, but I didn't know if you had sent PayPal details yet? Just wondering, no hurry.

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 14 2012, 10:53 PM

I've got 15 sets done, need to run another 15 to send to finishing. Yes the GB is going on. All you have to do is express interest and I will be coming back through to contact those that have signed up. As it takes me awhile to do these, and I have to have enough to cover the minumum finishing cost. I will keep the GB open into April, until I get everyone who has signed up covered. Heck, it's almost 2 yrs since I started the thread, and finally got the finishing figured out. So +1 and I'll be coming back up the list as soon as I get the next group done.

Posted by: JawjaPorsche Mar 15 2012, 03:32 PM

I'm in! Add me to a pair of chrome fog lite grills to the list.

Thank you in advance.

Posted by: LotusJoe May 17 2012, 11:53 AM

Not sure if I have missed any updates Is this GB still ongoing? I'm pretty sure I was in for a chrome set.

Posted by: SirAndy May 17 2012, 12:06 PM

Useless trivia of the day:

The early 914 prototype cars had the chrome foglight grills made out of metal, not plastic.

Posted by: Niklas May 17 2012, 12:39 PM

I am in for 2 sets of chrome and one set of black.
Can I paypal you the money?
Freight to Sweden.

PM me details.

Niklas

Posted by: cantley914 May 17 2012, 03:59 PM

I would like a chrome fog light set.
Let me know Paypal info.

Steph

Posted by: Type 47 May 17 2012, 08:25 PM

do you have the non-fog light grilles in chrome?

Posted by: Mikey914 May 18 2012, 12:05 AM

Going back through and updating some threads. This is one. I have all the grills cast, I'm cleaning them up now which is time consuming, but I hope that they will be done by Monday. As you can see I have a few to do. I have to clean up the edges. You can see how they look before and after. I should have back in 2 weeks.

I will contact those that have signed up as soon as I have them in hand.

Do you have enough made to add a set for me?

Posted by: Type 47 May 19 2012, 07:53 PM

The blacks look interesting too...my car will be black.

Are these black abs or black chrome?

I'll take a set of Chrome grills if there are any available.

Thanks

Posted by: SUNAB914 May 21 2012, 01:26 PM

I can't remember if I put in for black or chrome? I want a black set.
Thanks.

Posted by: Mikey914 May 24 2012, 01:16 AM

Got these all done, they will be ariving tomorrow in CA for finishing. They say 2 weeks.
-mark

Posted by: Howie's 914 May 24 2012, 05:15 AM

Do you have any more chrome. I would like a set.

Posted by: Mikey914 May 24 2012, 06:35 AM

These are actually a black poly resin, I'm having them metalized like OEM, I sent off all the ones I had, but I'm casting more now so I can fill the black orders and have another run going in a few weeks, as it looks like these are more popular than I thought they would be.
-Mark

Posted by: seanery May 24 2012, 07:33 AM

I'd be interested in a set of each black and chrome. What was the price on the chrome? I couldn't find it anywhere.

Posted by: Mikey914 May 25 2012, 01:04 AM

Actually in the title, 84 black, 99 chrome. I can get you black in 10 days, the chrome is in finishing, and I'm doing another batch up as I write this.
-Mark

Posted by: LotusJoe Jun 11 2012, 11:52 AM

Any update on the chrome grills?

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 11 2012, 04:47 PM

Just waiting on finishing. I've been told been of the week, with shipping say mid next week.
So, I'm hoping for end of next week. As soon as I have confirmation I'll be going through the list, I have another group coming up after these, and I think they will sell out.

-Mark

Posted by: LotusJoe Jun 26 2012, 12:23 PM

Posted by: Mikey914 Jul 6 2012, 10:29 PM

Got another batch done sending PMs out.
More coming, quality improved (not warped like 50% of last batch).

Just to make sure i'm clear.....are they both plastic....just with a different finish???

I might be in for s set of black.
BTW your products are always top notch..keep up the great work.

Thanks Marc

Posted by: 914Timo Jul 8 2012, 11:44 AM

I would like to get a chromed set sended to Finland. Ok ??

Posted by: OmaPossu Jul 8 2012, 02:09 PM

Yes, one set for me too! Or should I and 914Timo have one shipment of two sets to Finland?

Posted by: Mikey914 Jul 9 2012, 12:17 AM

they are plastic, and have been vacuum metalized and clear coated.

Posted by: Mikey914 Jul 9 2012, 12:22 AM

Yes. I do have 2 sets going to Sweeden, I can check to see it Niklas may be able to redistribute for you to save some cash

Posted by: 914Timo Jul 9 2012, 04:18 AM

I think thats not a good idea. Then Niklas should pay our customs from USA to Sweden. But it would be very nice if you could send OmaPossus and my sets in one shipment to Finland. We can easly share the costs here.

Posted by: Mikey914 Jul 9 2012, 09:30 AM

If I missed anyone here let me know. I think I sent PMs to everyone, but aparently I did miss at least one of you.
