If 6LE takes this and puts it into production, I'll place order #1.

What about some love for the TA? Someone needs to step up and make a nice looking alternative to the t/a front bumper. Maybe it's hard to improve on what GM did because everyone I see looks worse than factory.

For all the people "in line to order" let's make sure you have your money saved up and are thinking about all the costs...

Just pretend you're buying a hood for your car (same price range). You need to buy it, ship it, have it painted and probably have other stuff blended. You are looking at anywhere from $1000 to just get it and get it on anyway possible to $2000 for a high end paint and blend.

I would save my money and plan to buy the bumper at the same time you buy a hood (or at least have them painted at the same time).

Just making sure people are ready to buy when he is, or he and I are, ready to sell

you should realllllly work with McNord to, at least, try and re-create the full kit. The kits they have out now for our cars suck, execpt the RKSport one.

I kno the R&D is a royal bitch, but, i see these things selling fsaster then you can make them. I for one would buy it, even if i had to buy the pieces in "steps", along with your CME!
