metal repros for fog light grills Options

[Hydra]

hi,
i'm having metal repros of the fog light grills made, but it will only be worth if i get more than 50 pairs made (roughly 50$ each side for painted ones and an extra 15$ for chromed ones).
anyone interested?

and most importantly, i need to sell 50 pairs in the next few month....

i'm interested in a pair.

you want us to front $6750, so i don't mind asking:

who are you?
where are you?
what prior experience do you have with cast aluminum parts?
will these be die-cast or sand-cast?
are you making the molds or do you have a pattern maker?
how will the parts be finished?
what kind of experience does the metal-finish shop have with plated aluminum parts ?
what is the espected quality of the chrome plate?
how long between the time you get the money until we get delivered parts?
when will we see photographs of prototypes and preproduction sample parts ?

i'm sure there are other questions that will come up in the thread.

i have no reason to doubt you, so please don't be offended, we're all just more than a little gunshy when someone comes up out of nowhere and says "send me money for this great part that has never been done in reproduction before."

we will be rabidly supportive of a vendor who can actually develop and deliver quality parts at reasonable prices. but we have learned to be careful with vendors, and i do not think it is unreasonable for us to be asking for a reasonable assurance that we'll actually get a quality product for the price we're asked to pay.
