One suggestion I'd like to make about comment #4 is that if you had a picture of both versions the confusion could be avoided. Once someone reads the listing for both it becomes obvious there are two versions, but at first glance it looks like both have firewall ties....

Having said that i plan on buying one in its current form at some point in the future, but the rack and pinion and big brake kit's had to come first. I'm also eagerly awaiting any info about the center iron engine mounting system...

The feedback helps a great deal. The following is our interpretation of the posts.

1) Product launch may have been hindered by other product launches at same time frame. Some just did not know about the availability.
2) Questions about the installation requirements. Possible intimidation factor.
3) Unsure of the clearances once installed.
4) Did not know the part was available without firewall tubes. Makes product seem illegal for IT and CSP.
5) Price point of unit. Design puts the product price into a special market. Whereas other brand units may be marketed to a less expensive market.
6) Canadian Shipping Cost.


Other feedback:

1) Fiberglass Flairs
2) Camber Plate Mounting Bolts


We were not looking to produce a product that was not designed and manufactured to our current standards. We were not really shooting to compete with the less expensive, fits all product market. I realize these bars are not for everyone.

I have a few ideas from the current feedback and will be looking into solutions during the holidays. Thank you all for helping us move forward.

Any idea if the strut bar will clear the intake of an SE as well? Will it still tie to the firewall in an SE?

You must own one before asking

That is something we can make sure of.

Billy,

I really don’t have any need for a strut bar (maybe down the road for looks). As for the price I feel its appropriate seeing how you do top notch work, and are always willing to answer any questions.

What I wouldn’t mind seeing is a new carb hat for the stock carb. That would accept a cold air intake (AEM or something along that line), maybe one set for emissions and one with out.

I'll second that, he already has the rad support made for a cold air intake, would be cool to have the rest of the parts to do a cold air...
