Group purchases?

Have members here ever grouped up to make purchases? I am interested in a stainless steel mesh grill. I found that RaceMesh Grills will do custom work and wanted to know if anyone else was interested. If I go it alone the cost for the custom fabrication will be about $500 and I have to figure out a way to get a Supercharged SS to them in Cali for measurements and fitting (that might be a deal breaker for me doing it alone). If enough people are interested and jump in perhaps we can all have a fairly unique look without spending a ton of cash. Is anyone interested? Does anyone interested live near the San Francisco???

This is the look I am shooting for:

I have done a lot of hunting and pecking around the site but have not found a group buy section yet??? What is it under?

Supporting Vendor Deals & Group Purchases
Duh! Sorry, I only glanced over it like twenty times... I guess I am getting old, my eyes aren't worth a crap anymore...

I heard of a place called Home Depot... they sell this aluminum stuff that you can cut and then use a spray, much like that stuff you coat your walls with... paint... and altogether it costs about $15-$25... and that's if you get a box cutter to go with it!

Great, so it can serve a dual purpose... keeps crap out of your car and affords you the capacity for **** fights... now even Cobalt owners can hide the evidence of their **** fighting rings... just insert in front bumper and drive off...

That's cold... Guys this is quality stainless steel mesh... I have a friend that has one of these grills on his Jeep and the quality is top shelf. The look is incredible even in the black wrinkle powder coat...

They do look awesome, but I'm pretty sure it could be done cheaper... there are lots of fab shops in most every city that could do the work for you for substantially less, just ask around.
