What would you pay for a buy and bolt Satoshi grill?

[Bluesky 07]

Numerous posters have said they wish someone would sell Satoshis, so I'm curious: for 2006-2009 owners, what would you pay for a "flush" Satoshi you could take from the box and bolt onto your vehicle?

Two scenarios:

1. You supply (or pay for) the grill, mesh and emblem of your choice, supplier just does the mod; and

2. You supply nothing, supplier provides grill, mesh and emblem of your choice, and does the mod.

Flush means the mesh is, well, flush with the front of the grill as shown (pics by Mytoy4).

(If you're curious about the difference, a "deep" Satoshi has the mesh behind the grill so the interior top and side walls of the grill show, as in this pic by intrepidagent.)

I'm not sure what they are worth. But I definitely would buy one.

I wouldn't be interested myself as my grille is a work in progress (got tired of sanding on it and threw it in my closet)

But I'm assuming you'd only do 06'-09'?

 

[LIRunner03]

It would also depend on 03 or 06+ grille as the 03 requires more work to Satoshi.

I'm not sure how much I'd pay, but I'd also suggest offering a pricing scheme with providing a core grill.

Sell complete Satoshi grill for $350
Return good 06-09 grill for $100 credit
Return good 03-05 grill for $50 credit

(just throwing out arbitrary values)

Might offer a couple options, and the pricing would vary widely between offering a modified new Toyota grill versus modifying a member's used grill.

If the quality was acceptable and the price was reasonable, I'd purchase one immediately. I don't know what an appropriate price is, however.

I've got a 2006 Limited and I would pay for this. I like Option 1, but would pay for Option 2 if it ended up being the most popular.

I'm not certain of the work involved, but I'd pay a fair labor rate for a good job and would buy one today if I could!

 

[Run4It9]

I'd for sure be interested in buying one. Since the stock grille is probably the most expensive part, I'd be willing to ship mine out and have you install the mesh and emblem on. Maybe take some pictures of a few options of different meshes and emblems? Not sure of a fair price either, but I'll keep my eyes on this thread.

 

[Bluesky 07]

To clarify, I'm asking about 2006-2009 grills.

 

[Bryanmc]

I don't know what I'd pay, because I haven't looked into what all the parts/labor involved would cost, but I'd be VERY interested in a complete order option (as well as an option of sending my grille to you for assembly).

 

[Texas8668]

That's 3 folks in and around Dallas....group buy?!! Just tell me where to send my grille.

 

[jsmith21]

My stock grille has several of the mounting bolts broke off so I'm guessing mine wouldn't qualify for the core charge would it?

Scenario 1 - I'd pay $90
Scenario 2 - I'd pay $190

Reading some of these posts, let's stop and step back for a sec. Let me be very transparent here...I've done my grill and know what's involved, and also have some ideas on how to improve the process. I was curious to see how much people might pay so as to better understand whether it would be worthwhile for anyone - not necessarily me - to get into making these.

I have a full-time+ job that involves travel and plenty to keep up with around the house when not working. So to be very clear, I don't anticipate getting into Satoshi production any time soon. With that said, my mind is the percolating kind - once things slosh around in there for a while, a practical way forward often emerges. In this case, it would involve figuring out how to do this as a sideline that makes sense in terms of time, money, and everything else that comes with providing the kind of product and service people will appreciate and value.

If that happens, you guys will be the first to know!

I would be seriously interested on purchasing a complete Satoshi "deep" grill. Amazon sells the 2006 OEM/Factory grill for a decent price. I have a 2005 so I would be upgrading the 2006 look. I prefer no emblem or badges on my grill.

Make this happen already.

 

[BlackWorksInc]

I'd be willing to pay $100~200 for a grill.

 

[zromero]

yes

id pay 300.

 

[rcebowl]

ya i'd pay around 200

 

[Run4ever*]

I think $300 would be reasonable given the materials and labor as well as to compensate the person making them. I assume various emblems/badges and styles of mesh grills would be offered.

 

[Bryanmc]

I'd drop $300 today easy for a completed grille.

Who's doing this? Hurry up and take my money!

 

[rob78]

I would be interested aswell

maybe have an option if you buy a complete grill you can send your stock one back for a core credit
