Ive seen one car with one. He had to modify the windshield wipers in order for it to wor. But it was the cleanest install I have ever seen so far. He was selling the car also.

I have hosted pics of one setup, but my gallery is down. We'll fix it.
The odds of seeing a production kit are low unless someone like EPP or someone wants to modify a C5 or some other Magnuson kit work on our cars. It has been done before.

To answer the original posters question, Yes, there is a kit in development. It is based on the magnuson Corvette kit. It will be available very, very soon, we're talking weeks. I have a complete, running prototype on my '98 Z28 that works very well, and didn't require any where near the amount of cutting that everybody thinks.
An announcement will be made here when a few more details on the business side of it are finalized (website, forum sponsorship, etc) Everybodys questions will be answered at that time.

Good luck though man, I'm sure once you get everything rolling it'll be an impressive kit.

The S/C kit is the easy part, mine has been finished for over a year now. The hard part is having the special parts made in quantity, creating a good instruction manual, having a website designed, basically everything else needed to sell kits to the public. I don't know how many of you have created a startup business from scratch, but I can tell you, it's not easy!
Like I said, an announcement will be made very soon, and everybody will be able to see for themselves (and hopefully buy a kit!)
