Sorry if l've missed it, but any idea if this includes postage to Australia? If so, you may as well ad me to the list for a black one too!

EDIT: Meh, just add me! I was going to get the cusco piece anyway!

Perhaps the latter being more note worthy.

Thanks guys! :happy0180:

Thank you very much, we certainly appreciated your presence in the thread as well for the same two reasons. No question or idea was ever tedious or unnecessary, it was our pleasure to answer every single one. I'm truly happy we get to do things like this because when it comes to looking at car parts to buy for your car, you usually only get a one paragraph blurb written by a marketing guy who may or may not understand the product and you usually take away little to nothing technical about the product. Thanks to all of you who ask the tough questions, and keep companies honest. And thanks to everyone for keeping this fun too

Good on ya Cap'n

It does not include postage unfortunately. I know there is a gentleman on here that is organizing some group shipping to Australia, but I'm not sure who or how many. Hopefully he see's this and sends you a PM.

Well, ZetaVI really stole my thunder here, but we wrapped up our install guides yesterday! You can check out the video below, as well as the pdf to see just how easy it is. I'll be making a few small changes to the pdf in the coming days, but this should get you started!

Would it be acceptable to put the heatshrink tubing around the ac hose and allow it to rest up underneath the bar versus zip tieing it to the fuel line bracket?

Something about the zip tieing makes me nervous.

It sure would. Because they still move relative to eachother, you'll probably see some rubbing over time, but I wouldn't expect that you'll have any issues. We actually tested this without issues, but it seemed like more of a band-aid fix. Either is an acceptable solution! I'd suggest that you start by putting the sleeve over the line first and gauge how comfortable you feel with securing the line down. Zip ties catch a bad wrap when they're used improperly, but you'll notice that they're actually used throughout your engine bay from the factory!

I cannot wait!

Sounds good, please add me to the gb list.

As a side note I just ordered the GS master cylinder brace, so I'm going to have some awesome GrimmSpeed parts in my engine bay soon...
