I can make them cheaper if I don't get them anodized. They charge a setup fee of $150. I don't know how many pieces that will cover but if it makes it a more affordable option I'll just leave them in raw aluminum. I'll get with my boss when he gets back from vacation next week and get more material ordered so I can get a definite price.

The material I'm using now came out of the scrap bin (I got lucky...). It's hard to price these not knowing the material cost. But this week I should have them finished so I can get more pics up for you guys and again; next week I'll try to get a price quote put together.

I'm thinking of doing 12-15 sets in my next run... I just want to make sure everything lines up and works properly before going into production.

2 sets of rotors have been ordered and will be modified to fit next week.

Can I get the chicken cutting board under em? Or maybe some M&Ms?

Those things are BEEFY too. Once my car is back up and running I may have to consider these to help slow down the mad PoWaH!
