I also have a new address to ship to.
Emails have not been sent yet. I have to check the bars and make sure they made it safely first. Hopefully they will be ready for pick up Monday or Tuesday.

I got the bars today they look great. Here is a sneak peak of the test fitting. Give me a few days to find boxes and fasteners.

Hopefully mine is the first one to go out, seeing as I was charged for it 3 weeks ago.

Looks good, feels good.

Took some semi-fast corners today. No rattling or creaking. After my drive, I checked to see if the bolts had loosened up -- nope!

I can finally adjust my Koni's "on-the-fly"!

I plan to ship them early this next week check your email for confirmation on powder coating and and sticker color this weekend.

First 5 to be assembled with stainless hardware.


Brackets for bar, after much testing we do not think it is necessary. But I will include them and you can use them if you like.

I've been running without ANYTHING connected to the factory strut bar for over 6 months... I haven't experienced any additional vibrating/rattling noises and nothing seems to be "out of place". The fuse box is still there as well as the little fan thing on the passenger side.

The base is good enough for me too. It's under the hood and my car is not a show car so as long as its functional i'm good with it the way it is.

And what does the brackets do?

They are for all the miscellaneous connections to the stock bar... ie. fuse box, wire harness support etc. Not necessary IMO.

Yeah dumb nuts, I paid months ago too, but my card was CHARGED three weeks ago. Yours wasn't. How do I know this you ask? Because Richie made a mistake and charged mine by accident. So you have paid for something that hasn't been withdrawn from your account till it ships. SO IF YOU WANNA GET TECHNICAL, I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY FUNDS LONGER THAN YOU HAVE. Jesus man, the guy is gonna send them as soon as he can. Do you really think he is gonna box #23 and then #24 and then #25. He's gonna see who paid and who wants what color and get them fuckers out. My shit has been charged, and I don't want anything else done to it. Put that shit in a box and send it. We can skip the email and total checkout B.S. No offense to the younger crowd, but I'd expect this from a younger owner. But fuck, your 29, the cutting in front of the lunch line thing ended for most of us 10-20 years ago. Hopefully all Canadians aren't childish... So bottom line:
YOURS WILL BE SHIPPED NEXT WEEK, UNLESS YOU WANT COLOR
(you know, at first I wondered why Richie wasn't responding to everyones' post daily, but after seeing the same shit daily, he checks this thread way more than I would).

Umm sorry for interrupting but I guess Rich made a mistake with me also??because I was charged the same day when I bought them back in October... How do I know this you ask?? Because I paid for it on my Nov. statement... But anyways who cares everyone who was on the first batch will get one and if its another couple weeks so be it.... at least Rich took the time to make this product....

Actually if anyone is being childish its you....i'm just saying that lots of guys have paid..whether a partial deposit or in full....Me I paid cash to Richie via paypal in FULL back in January....so...NO you have no been without your money longer than me.

Honestly I don't care about who paid first or when my bar will ship...its just annoying to read how you were charged 3 weeks ago and how you want your bar....unlike you I have some patience.

Of all the guys who have posted you are the only one who has asked for their bar to be shipped claiming that you been charged for 3 weeks....your acting like a baby....waaaaaan... my card has been charged for 3 weeks and I want my bar first.

And not mention your name is not on the list of people paid....I'm not sure if that list is official...if its not and you are supposed to be on it I appologize.

Bottom line everyone will get the bar whenever rich ships them.
There is no need to have the last word and call me out or whatever....but if you must go right ahead and call me names.

I will not respond to any more of your silly posts.

There are a few mounting points on the factory strut tower bar for some small items. We were able to run fine without them. I will include a set with every bar since I promised them. Install is simple just bend the bracket slightly to line up with the factory holes and bolt it down. Then drill a hole in the bar to bolt it to the side.
