    Are you nuts do you really want to be making gold grills for peoples
    decaying choppers, I have had the misfortune of making several of
    these things. Lemme tell you a story about it, This young man comes
    in the store with his (posse or better yet pudding head paint
    huffing moron buddies) friends and they all want grills that is the
    ghetto slang term for caps, the owner of this fine establishment
    were I am slaving at thinks that this would be a great thing to do
    since we are kinda slow and have been melting inventory to pay
    bills. Since I am his employee he has me take molds of these guys
    rotting yellow nicotened stained teeth. These things looked like
    yellow chicklets they were so loose that I darn near pulled them out
    with the mold. Before reading further let me tell it gets worse. I
    forgot to mention that I had three drooling idiots in the shop for
    about an hour while we did this at least they had thier mouths full
    and couldnt swear and spit. Ok back to the meat of the tale and let
    me tell you rotting teeth stink and when you remove the mold their
    is stuff stuck on it like chewing tobaco and and gum tissue oh yea
    real nasty. Now I am thinking that I am going to need some hepittis
    shots and probably a rabies chaser just to be safe. Fastforward one
    week later I have these grills all polished up and the paint huffing
    idiots are back trying them on, dont think for a minute that they
    just drop on oh no you have to fit them by hand thats right mouth
    slime all over you and the counter lots of drool and blood because
    these guys dont floss I am going to stop here because if anyone
    stilll thinks these are a good idea they can go it alone I will not
    be an enabler. 

Sincerely Kevin ( not a dentist)
