I forgot to ask, but who's that in the vid?! That coat is pure awesome, btw.

Also forgot to post this, but Alex does a great job of putting a smile on my face when I get home from work!

Do you have stickers at about 1/2 the scale or just a bit smaller than the ones you shipped with the battery tie downs? If you do, I'd like to request a couple to add to the cylinders.
Not sure if the originals would fit or look right...

The video Justin posted shows it pretty well. As far as the thread, when we first started it, as a discussion, it was in the correct forum. It kind of turned into a group buy thread, which has happened before. If it needs to be moved, the mods will move it. No worries!

You won't need stickers for the tubes; we've got something pretty neat for that.

Justin posted that video for ya, but if you want to try this for yourself to see how much higher the lift is: Grab a ruler, go out to your car, pop the hood open, hold the prop rod up and point it at all hole it goes in. Now hold the ruler between that hole in the hood and the prop rod end. Now lift the hood open until the distance between the hood and the prop rod is about 6 inches. You can do the same thing to the lower hole in the hood, and this distance is about 5 inches away.

When we installed the other kit, the natural hood opening height was actually a little lower than where the prop rod put it.

Talking about reputable name!

Keep it up!
BAHAHAHAHAHA! I promise we're not making a killing on these. However, what we have done is made a SUBSTANTIALY better product, where literally ever component included is higher quality than the competition's, and somehow we can do it at almost the same price while being 100% American made. What this should show you though is that the companies selling the other kits ARE making a killing.

I know you're joking, and thanks a million for the support!

Yeah, what Matt said, I think you'll like what we've come up with for branding. We'll post up and soon as we get it. It retains the clean OEM look we've captured on this project.

To get in on this deal, simply post up like you've all been doing and we'll get your name added to the list. Once the group buy closes, you'll all receive payment and shipping information. Your kits will ship as soon as you pay!

Happy Monday!

Post#271. I put newest posts on top. I don't want to be bothered with OP being the first page I open up to.

You don't seem like you'd enjoy PM's, so you'll probably get passed up on this deal once it's underway.
