Default custom parts

Anybody know of any places anywhere (machinists, etc.) that makes custom fabrications to customers requests (not just motor parts)?

I want center caps for my wheels, but the ones RAYS make do not look good w/ my Gram Lights. I was wondering if anybody could MAKE some for me; maybe if I provided them with one made for my wheels, they could use it as a template.

Doesn't matter how long it takes, or what they charge. Just need some kind of reference. Haven't had any luck finding such a place online.

I will need other things made in the future as well; shift handle, other one-off items.

If anybody has any places in mind, please post. Thanks.

Eric,
Just an idea, but before you one-off a bunch of parts, see how much interest there'd be with other Z32TT owners. You could get a GB of them and then sell them for a little bit of profit. There was a place up in the Hampton area I believe that did custom work. I was going to have them do a run of block-off plates for my 92 T2, but then I decided not to. If I can dig up the info, I'll pass it on.

Yeah, good idea. I've met alot of Z owners just in this area who would support some cool ideas/custom fabs/group buys. But some of my ideas are just for ME.

As far as the center caps, I think I have the only Z w/ Gram Lights 57PROs; and I don't know anybody else with those wheels; so no support on that one.

If you can find the name/number of that place or any other, please let me know. Thanks.

Try CAD Design in Hampton, talk to Brian... They could prob copy a set for you on some of their badass equipment.. i'm not sure what type of setup and stuff would be required so it may not be feasible to only do a set of them..

That's who I was talking to, but I couldn't find anything about them. They wanted $300 just to make a CAD program of the plates so they could do a run of them. The plates themselves were only like $20 a set for 10 sets.
