Ok, ina another thread a few people were talking about the claws, and i mentioned I was going to make a set of custom ones for myself, and potentially cast them to sell out to others as well.
This is the beginning of that process, the simple layout and shape. This is what i have come up with, so let me know what everyone thinks. I will most likely make my own favorite (since hell, I'm making them for me haha) but if majority hates my choice, I may make both.

I prefer number 2 the most, and will probably be going about making this set up, but let me know opinions. Final version may be diff lengths, and somehow molded all to be one piece, to make it flow better, easier to place, and easier to make.
I honestly can;t say a for sure price right now, but lets just ball park 50 if I choose a double, and 75 if I choose a triple design, mainly because it will be a limited run deal, and casting plastic is expensive.
*btw, most likely will be cast in a durable plastic resin, close to the properties of abs, but not as soft. *

Also, no I will not spend hours of working and molding clay just to see how a set of claws looks because someone can't use imagination and picture it haha, I just don;t have that kind of time.

Hmm if you want to go with 3 I would say #5 over #2.

 

[Reaper7]

i agree, #2 has the best flow. # 3&4 look messy, and #1 looks incomplete. Do u plan in making them w dif colors?

 

[Cinderblock7881]

No, i plan to be casting them in black plastic. I could tint the plastic different colors, but I could never match the paint. I could paint them after to match to match the cars, but I imagine that would tack on another 150 or so to the price, that would mean primer, basecoat and clear to match the factory color.

I agree #2 looks the best. count me in GB

"#2 MY LORD (YET Holding up 3 fingers) r" ... what movie eh? LOL

but yea #2.

 

[Malgadar]

I like #3...if our VTs only have 3 fingers that one would make the most sense.

 

[TheGeekFreek]

I like #5

 

[Cinderblock7881]

hmm, some mixed results. but most are leaning towards #2, or the 3 claw design. I will start on this during next week after hours, so until then, keep the votes coming and I am open to suggestions.

#2 or #5 both look good

 

[Sbnmatthew]

I'm digging #5!

 

[Turbosocks]

I likw 2 and 5! Looking forward to what you come up with!

 

[agentw0]

Definitely #5 if yo go with three, I think it fits the lines of the car better.

 

[berniefritts]

I would go with #5

 

[timo]

#5 is cool.....but I think it would make a huge difference if on the final where the end of the claw meets the bumper the end thickness should match the recess thickness beneath the headlight.

"#2 MY LORD (YET Holding up 3 fingers) r" ... what movie eh? LOL

but yea #2.

And I like #2 the best.

 

[Kaishi]

#2 and #5, torn between them.

 

[syroyizhka]

5 def better than [email protected]

 

[Cinderblock7881]

and now everyone seems to really like 5 haha. well ok then.

 

[JDub]

Yea, the more I look at it, I like #5 as well. I'd definitely buy it, lol.

Would you make it in different colors? (I ask because my VT is black, so i'd rather have it in gray, to match the other gray on the VT body.)
