Someone else making money off the mods developed in Yotatech?

Maybe you should check the seller's history. He's been selling grills for 2-years now. Yotatech has only been around for a year and a few months.

Not to mention that customizers have been using that stuff for as long as I can remember... It's hardly a YotaTech exclusive.

I agree that this has been done for a while now. I did it with my old car, my Datsun 210(RIP 1998). I used that mesh for the grille, and I used the perforated aluminum mesh (small round holes) for the headlights. I might consider it on my truck if they had some that was black anodized since I hate all the remaining chrome on my rig.

Yeah, back in '77, I made a sweet mesh grill for my bike with the bannana seat. It was pretty rad.

I didn't realize this had been around for such a long time. You mean everything there are ideas that are generated outside of Yotatech?

Just go to Home Depot or Lowes and pick up a 4' x 8' sheet of the expanded aluminum for $6, rip it into 36" x 6" strips (20 of them per sheet) and sell EACH for $5... That's a profit of $94 PER SHEET plus the profit he's making on shipping!

Not a bad racket!

Mad Chemist

Yeah, thats what got me going on the whole rant to begin with- he's pitching it as this custom grill, but it sounds like you still have to cut it yourself to fit the vehicle.

Whoever that is, they live in my home town (Albany, Oregon). Looks like they're running things out of an apartment complex, but their domain (eurogrills.com) is registered to Nik Fowler in Longview Washington.

Yep. I know that stuff. Comes in a variety of colours and shapes. And yes, it's a do-it-yourself job. The price isn't that bad though. Over here we pay at least 4 times as much for it.
