Thanks Paul, PM received.

I've received a few others PM which I am also acknowledging here (thanks guys).

I am reaching to you guys now to have an idea of how many I need to plan for the board, so to adjust material qty. Acetal is not exactly cheap and the last thing I want is to be stuck with a 10 meters long leftover lolll

Once I have the caps lined-up on the workbench and ready for anodizing, only then I'll request for payment. Obviously the fellas who've shown interest by either posting here or PM will have priority

Hello from the Shop

Just a quick hello from the official GTCollection Shop floor! Its a "massive" 118 sq meter floor, 15 minutes driving from downtown Shanghai and cost more in rent than a penthouse flat in downtown Montreal. Welcome to Shanghai, the land of the rip-offs.

Those two CNC are now powered ON and won't shutdown for the next 2~3weeks, or until I am done with a few things I need machining. Few things; that includes those center caps obviously but also have to turn & mill some precision sleeves for a customer back in the UK (he just need 300 lolll).

Views from the back of the shop floor, controllers for both the high speed cnc mill, the horizontal turning center and a shot of the turret that I've populated this eve.

Last shot is the cozy desk of the guy who is cleaning that shop after each day, The Janitor! That's all there is to do there - cleaning. Machines does the rest really.

I'll try to take better shots.... if I don't forget my DSLR cam next time

I'm in!

I think I mentioned this on the first page, but you might have thought I was joking... so I'll clarify. I'm in for a set. I assume the gunmetal for my standard grey wheels and black car, unless you might recommend something else. :-)

I'll PM you with more information...

Randy, Troy. Well received! I'll have those ready for you guys in a week or two.

Troy - gun metal gray for silver wheels bud. Guarantee to look humble & classy. If the car is tricked and comes with red calipers then go crazy, those red are pretty sweet also. For the all-black wheels, you want the black-on-black caps (now those are killer looking in person, my fav in all honesty).

I'll get some renders done with all available combo/colors in a few... so we can see what's what. We still got plenty of time to decide about colors anyway

How are they progressing ?
My wife is nagging for present ideas for my birthday in a fortnight and these would have been ideal.
