Yes




I'm almost 100% done looking at mounting variations between vehicles, which means we will be able to finalize the bracket design and start to have it produced very soon. So, yes, one of the above!

That's excellent to hear, our product will be very different from those two, which might be exactly what you're looking for.

There's no list yet, but there will be one, and it'll be on the first post. We tend to start this when we have a 100% idea of what the production piece will be, so you guys know exactly what you're looking at getting. Again, being on the list just means you're interested and is not an obligation to buy at this time.

Happy Friday everyone! I finalized an key part in the design yesterday and everything is moving forward and smoothly!

Yeah, we were promised some information today that should help us start production ASAP, which is great news to us. And great news to us is even better news for you.

So we're even better than just a day closer now

Yes, technically "today" was yesterday, and we are still VERY excited. We WILL be starting production ASAP, and it looks like we will hit our target MSRP!

We're just finalizing the last few bits right now. I'm printing out some bracket designs of what the final unit should look like, and what we're thinking about for branding. I'm hoping to have pictures up by tomorrow so everyone can get a final look, and then maybe we'll start our interested list

Woot! This be some good news.

Save the Empire! I was really tempted to get "SXYWRXY" or "WRXMNNG" as a custom plate for my WRX.

So, were there alterations from the original bar, as in extending the mounting surface to the other two studs in the strut tower?
