Whatsup Juan Valdez!
Missed you SOOO much.
Have fun with your rear end.
The least you could do is stay off of the C5 and C6 forums on CF now that your car is gone.
All of the below applies you:

I wonder if I could call and ask what is up with the rear.
*EDIT*
Well I just called and spoke to Donovan. Donovan mentioned that they worked on a rear end for someone last year and is in the process of producing another one. Apparently there is still some kinks to work out. I am really pleased to see that the company is taking time to make it a quality piece. Of course patience is a factor in this whole "schpeal", but the saying goes "longer you wait, the better it tastes", however; in this case we are speakin' of a rear end so let us not try and taste.
I will call back today and speak with MADMAN and get some more information - I will post back later.

I contacted MADMAN and received great news! I will not share it though.
Here is some news...
The package will include...
-driveshaft
-axles
-center bell housing with gears of choice
*the center bell housing is billet
Not sure if I left anything out. I am positive MADMAN will chime; he has his reasons in being absent from the message board - good reasons
