OK, as long as I'm in the thread and have it open, I might as well move it.

and from all the threads you moved this weekend...I would guess there were some others that were also a bit confused. Thats good...I like the regular 3G section better as it is widely travelled! Thanks!
Note...why dont we rename the "Parts & Parformance" section "Performance Parts"?

I would welcome suggestions on a new name. I talked with robb and he said any change would have to be forum wide, since there are Parts and Performance subforums in other forums.
The winner will get 100,000,000 Reputation Points. (Don't ask; inside joke for those who have been here for a while)

OK Guys....here is a sneak peek of the product. (told ya I was workin on it!!) Still in testing phaze....but coming along nicely. There are some issues with mounting points that have to be worked out still....but I think you get the idea that this is gonna be a real nice piece! I figured I would post it here rather than to email each and every person who has contacted me a seperate email. Here it is...
This is one of the first peices out of the mold....and it gets better as the process is tweaked in. As I stated earlier...dont get a buzz too quick....I still have a bit of work prior to release....but as you can see....it is coming along nicely! Shouldnt be long. I was over by the shop today and snapped a few pics of the part as it progresses so you could see where we were at with the project. You like? What do you think?
There is an issue with the Red color right now...therefore until we are SURE that the red will not fade over time and yellow (thats yellow for the sight impaired)...right now....all that will be released is the black color as shown. (not to mention availability of red material is limited and hard to get...although we have some on hand) The red takes a different grade material that is much clearer and not sure about the longivity of the red and if it will yellow over time. Time will tell though.....but not for a while. And we do not release problems....so until that is proven.....it is not being released. (the red one...the black is all good so far!) Will keep you updated.

Man of God.....
IT really looks GREAT!! Nice work!! I just remembered a note in the ThermoBlok spacers install sheet - said there might be a issue with the stock piece. Oh well, you probably took that into you plan. Again it looks GREAT!!!

wow looks really good. But in the second pics the reflection of the light maybe, it looks like the gel coat should be thicker as it seems like you can still see the weave of the cf poping out. keep up the good work.

Crucial ... I love it! I'll def. buy one of these ... it's easy to replace the plastic cover, right? I'm too lazy to run out to my car right now since I'm at work.

Any pics on the car? 
dan.....k, perhaps we could purchase them together and save a few bucks on shipping. Any other ATL folks could perhaps benefit if MB would ship them together for us!

That looks great! Any word on pricing yet? And what's your policy on returns/refund if not satisfied? Just covering the bases... I'm sure it will look awesome though. Keep us posted.
Also, will the resin be able to withstand the heat from the engine? Especially the underside...

Yeah Meek, you need to be first on the list. Don't even unwrap it, just post the tracking number so we know when to be at your place for the unveiling and installation.
