I think Redline/Redmax/whatever had a grille that they had in the works too, but they've been hush about it. Doesn't make me feel any better but at least they're not getting everybody worked up over something that they can't have...
I've been thinking about dropping my E&G for some time now... and it would just SUCK if I got something else and then this comes up and it's nice. At least a teaser pic or something, that's all we're asking for...

We've had delays with our fiberglass manufacturer due to him moving locations...something we didn't expect. We were promised something that we could have shown pics of weeks ago. It's a comin though!

When I'm told I will see something in a few days, I felt it was ready to post about it. We've been working on it for months, and I never said anything until then. Something happened that caused a delay that was out of my hand. What could you possibly expect me to do?

Too bad about your info, that's your problem that you where misinformed about the weeks of delay, don't try and pass blame here.
You want my advice, see last sentence of post #87
I AM a businessman, you are not dealing with a weekend car tinker who is suppose to except your $2.00 dollar answer, I hate when businesses think they can talk down to customers just because we are suppose to be nice that you are making something we MAY buy. We ARE a market, if you go away, others will fill it and we will still be here.
My point is strictly about business, you put the info out there, your not delivering, su%ck up the fact that some of your potential customers think you su%ck in the handling of your marketing.
Welcome to the real world...
Next time my consulting advice will cost you...

Kinda a f*cked up answer to a guy who has been nothing but good to the maxima community as well as many others. Who cares if the products arent done exactly on time? At least we are getting something. Also, I dont see many companys making mods for a family sedan so id like to keep Active Tuning on our side.

we need somebody with a lighter color car to help us do a test fitment on the grille in Lake Mills, WI (about 2 hours from Chicago, 30 min from Madison). The person that helps us out will recieve a FREE grille pre-painted to match their car. We will require one trip out to us (ASAP) which we will do test fitment and some pictures (Please make sure your car is washed!). Then an optional 2nd trip out to us where we will install the painted grille for you...or we can have it shipped to you. PM me if interested....we need somebody right away.

Also, I AM a fan of ActiveTuning and have helped install their products on several Org members rides as well as referred members to their web site to get products. Not everything in a forum will sound peachy to everyone, in the end it's all good, just giving some advice, he has the option to take it or leave it...

1. Look at our original post. I never said, hey, we'll have pics in a couple days. I wrote, the grille will be release in January. Today is 1/18....only halfway done.
2. As posted above, the original post was also requesting somebody for test fitting....which we ended up getting...due to that post.

I understand what your saying, and I agree with some degree. From a marketing perspective, what you're saying can do positive and negative. For one, it causes a hype for a product which nobody has even seen. There are comments stating that they were planning to buy another grille, but want to see this one first. On the negative side, there's people like you that would be upset for your reasons.
Anyway, enough babble, those are my thoughts. I will take into account what you are saying for future instances.

I never said it wasn't our problem. I stated that the other company had a delay, which caused us to have a delay. Again, what could you possibly want me to say in this scenario?

Well whats the real kicker is I get the impression the grille is made, so if its made take a pic of it...nobody would object to that...seeing it on the car isnt going to have more effect for us...we all can use our imaginations and photoshop..this is just

Ok, knowing it pretty much looks like what you did for the altima is good to hear...i do appreciate what you are doing and if it is the same as those altima grilles i will buy one. If I owned an altima I would have bought your S2 at first sight, the style reminds me of the tuner grilles for VW's...looks really good, I think you'll sell a lot.

dood all i know is, I have the same exact grille as chern, the trenz with emblem. I like it alot, but im getting bored of it, and i wanna change it up for the summer.
Where the fluk is this grille already. I'm thinking I may possibly just go with the erabuni or sarona wateva the hell its called, but to me that grille only seems like it looks good with a bumper kit.
anywhere WHERES THE DAMN ACTIVE TUNING ALREADY.

It can officially be said this grille is behind schedule...it was expected anyway, just bring it out with a killer deal on it.

It is being pushed back into February. After repeated promise dates broken from our current fiberglass manufacturer, we are in talks with a new company. We’ll have more details in about a week once we finalize some talks.

all this complaining about a company that's actually doing/planning stuff for the 6th gen...
some variables just can't be controlled by ourselves...so delays will/can happen. like they say.."sh*t happens"

Chernmax im with you brother, if i ever see this guy in northern VA, im gonna have him kiss my four exhaust pipes.ActiveTuning is a part-time business run by two people because we have a passion for Nissan. We have full-time jobs, and my partner who does most of the manufacturing (Altimat) has two kids and a wife to keep up with as well.
That means it's not making enough for us to go in full-time yet (and nowhere near that may I add).
We do what we can, and we work very hard, a lot of times late in the night just to wake up at 6am for work the next day. We put a lot of our effort into this company, and if it takes this long to develop a product, there's a reason behind it.
I for one find your comments fairly insulting to be honest, and it really does take a lot to bother me with a comment. I can understand frustration, but as one said, **** happens...there's obviously a reason it's not out yet. We don't just purposely sit here and say, ok, let's not make money, and just wait another month to see how these guys react.
if i ever see this guy in northern VA, im gonna have him kiss my four exhaust pipes.
You can pick either the twin turbo 350Z or the Dodge Viper (close friends):

Did someone take food off your plate? A little too much
crying going on here about a grill that is having some production problems. So what? I want to see it too, everyone is excited and AT knows it. It will come out and when it does they will post some pics. No big deal. Life goes on.

Yeah guys, give them a break. I work on the development side of things for a living and sometimes **** does happen!! After all the thread was only asking for a test fitter. Hopefully in the future they can get someone to work with locally to speed up the process and do this stuff "offline" so as to not cause such a stinky thread to evolve, like I have done with Redlinemax...
Good luck to AT and keep up the hard work!!!!!

Man i was upset, but not that bad... i am still for the AT grille.. I am proud that AT is doing work for us. I am anxious, like everyone else, but there is no reason to insult someone that works on anything for our rides. I am just happy to say thank you when it comes out. I might not like it and go with the improved Redline one, but i would never insult a Co. no matter how small. I think someone needs to appoligize..... AT keep on doing what your are doing bro, no matter how long it takes you have us to back you up... LAter..
