Tell us how it works and how yo configure how deep in the firewall you mount it.

I'll probably get the paintable b-body version as I'm going to have the ignition switch mounted on the dash or hidden somewhere and use a push-start button.

I've had mine ready to open in the box when it came over with Madeline. Looks good, hope it's like they say. XVs been slack lately, sent 3 emails asking for an update on my engine brace, I get the read receipts and no response. Pi$$ing me off lately........it was suppose to ship 5 weeks ago and no emails or anything. I got the pain table column with ignition and stalk.

I think the chrome is a nice touch. Let us know of any fitting problems. There are always a few of us that like to throw money at our cars.   :misbehaving:

LOL, I don't mind waiting and an honest ETA but to say they would be shipped 6+ weeks ago and not answer my emails in regards to where it is is my problem, slack, very slack. I will email again and probably get the same. A read receipt and no response............ ::) >:(

I had trouble with them on my first order...but it did come...after I complained here on this site they e.mailed me...(I guess they check here once in a while..LOL) and they complained I was bashin them...they did get their stuff to me tho, albiet very late.
It is nice to see that they are doing so much research into mopar after market parts...not enough companies do. If more did the pricing might come down, I know that research cost cash.
I hope you get some reply soon...at least let a guy know whats going on with his order.

LOL! I wouldn't go that far. :lol: Kelly, I see, oh well, if that's the only way they'll return emails then so be it, sad if it's true (takes someone to mention they're slow to make them respond). Shouldn't get that way. Sent an email today that expressed my disappointment with their lack of response. Great to see they're doing these products for sure, awesome in fact but with out professional & fast service it's nothing........

I guess a phone call would be in order? I too ordered the basic stiffening kit less the hood brace and received it in a timely fashion. Much cheaper and easier to keep emailing, but if it isn't working I'd show I was serious by calling and talking to a human so they will personally feel responsible for giving you an ETA. It's very easy to give a fluff date or put someone off via email, whether intentional or not. I'm amazed at the things they are coming up with and they seem fairly active on the boards, hope their service doesn't fall by the wayside as they concentrate on building turnkey cars.

I have had very good luck dealing with Peter Bergman there. He has been awesome for follow ups, actually I gave him the order because of it. I just hope their e-body EFI fuel tanks get built very soon!!

FYI, I got my underhood brace a couple of weeks ago.  I ordered the complete package in August of 2006.  So 14 months later I got the final piece.  They said they had manufacturing problems, so at least now you know they are producing them.  Here's a picture of it laid on the engine compartment so that I could see what it looked like.
