Former 2012-2015 Made-to-Order Satoshi Grill thread

Damn it Craig if you make these for 2016's I'm just going to have to buy a 2016.

Meanwhile I'll patiently wait for the 2012's

 

I know y'all are impatient, and I do appreciate all the enthusiasm.
Bottom line is that we won't make these available until everything is acceptable.
I've been "beta" testing one on my own truck going as far as doing the entire front-end swap in order to do so...
With this testing I've found some items for concern that Shane and I will need to address.

I refuse to offer a product for sale that I'm not completely confident in.

Sure - the pics look great, but if the fitment is like shit and if falls apart in a month neither the customer or us will be happy.
My personal standards are too high to allow for that situation.

I took well over 18 months before I released the 12-15 DIY kits and for good reason. Since releasing them I'm proud to say I've had zero issues. That's the correct way to offer a product in my book and I'll continue to follow the same course of action with these and everything else I produce in the future.

Thank you!
~ Craig

 

Tired of the TRD one already?

 

Gotta keep us updated! As soon as you get these done I'd be down for one! If only everyone cared R&D like you do! Haha

 

Damn your good business sense/practice and morals. LoL

 

No, I love it and every one I see wants one
But it's like the new nikes that came out, you just gotta have em

 

Thanks for not selling us junk like many of the big companies. I really hope you can get them going up to standard soon. I've been wanting one since I got my 2013 two years ago.

 

Shane's putting out a pair right now. I'll be soon to follow.

Same variation on the theme - and pretty badass if I say so myself.

 

Swapped out mine for a stock one - using the prototype for reference and getting the mesh powder coated. Need to paint my letters red too.



Shane's got a lot more versatility when it comes to emblems if you look at the thread posted above.

 

So... Are you telling us to buy from him? LoL Sounds like you are supporting him.

I don't want a knock off or copycat. But man $680 for the intro price on a grille is spendy! Can't imagine what they'd go for once in production.

You are still releasing your own design right?

 

Its a collaborative effort between him and I to bring these grills to production. We use the same parts and the same fabrication methods to make these possible. I provide him with the parts, he teaches me his fabrication techniques and shares his expertise on mastering this niche product. So, it doesn't matter who you buy them from, you'll end up with some form of my design on the grill . That is why he is endorsing me.

Craig and I will offer different options from one another so that we don't compete directly. One last thing that I can share about these is that the waiting list for them is going to be VERRRYYYYY long, even with two people offering them.

 

Maybe I need to get on that list. LoL

Looks like some futuristic cool truck mod. Want!

 

That's one way to put it.
