If you want to make for pre-LCI, it would be custom project and have to pay all for developing.

After finishing, you can order with factory prices and you can sell it.

we cant develope for pre-lci car... sorry.

Kevin_The_Clean1 ARMYm3 I have been in contact with a local 3D scanning/engineering business and got a quote for a 3D scan and designing a 3D CAD model for 3D printing. I’d ideally like to go in on the costs with someone/group of people who are also interested in the Pre LCI.

I will be in for that, depending on how much. Just let me know!

How much for your team to run this project/ development for pre-lci X3Ms?

I actually own a plastic manufacturing company and recently purchased a pre-lci. If there is a high enough demand I would definitely like to make these for both myself and you guys aswell.

Does anyone have a spare set of Pre-Lci grills they wouldn't mind sending to me for scanning, modelling and test fitting?

My money is on the LCI grills when they hopefully bring them to market.

That's a bummer & sorry to hear that. We appreciate the update though.

And don't be sorry. Most projects can't be started unless it's projected to be profitable.

For the guys that CAN get a pre-LCI demo unit going, what are the spin up costs... ?

Around $2,300 for scanning and creating the file plus whatever manufacturing cost comes out to per grille.

If anyone has an extra set they wouldn't mind sending me please send me a private message. I will send them back once completed. My machines are most likely not large enough to produce the LCI grills, but individual pre-lci grills are doable.
Majority of the cost boils down to how they are produced, not so much scanning and modeling.
