mine was aroun 500 bucks from RP about 2 1/2 years ago. I love it. I haven't had any driveline issues since switching to that PPF and the Kaaz rear end. I also got my PPF in about 1 week( They had 1 in stock )

Dunno, but cryo-treating is claimed to increase strength by 100 to 200%. I'll take that over 20% anyday.

I took it to a cryo facility. There is a special machine which drops the temp down to something like -300 degrees, then slowly brings it back up to room temp. As I understand it, the process aligns the molecules in the metal in rows and columns, vs the standard unorganized mess. This makes the metal stronger, more resilient, etc.

www.cryoscience.com is a good link to check out.
