Wouldn't these cross over for a 3rd Gen vert? I though I read that the floor pans are the same on 3rd Gens or something is the same from 3rd to 4th. I'm sure that I'm more than likely wrong, but for some reason I recall hearing this or read this, and if true, that opens up the market.

Maybe so but you're dealing with theoreticals without an actual product. I held off for 2 years waiting for the mythical Kenny Brown ones. Had I known it'd be this long my only regret is not doing it sooner, made my car much more enjoyable to drive... If you want to wait, go ahead. If another 3 years go by maybe you'll change your mind.

Just keep posting here, or even shoot Ryan a PM and let him know we have about 10 people* right now from what I can see that are interested. He said that he plans to start designing and will post up a picture of the prototype design when he gets it. Just keep active here and I'm sure it will motivate them. UMI has spoken up and said more then BMR has so I'm sure UMI wants to get the business from us then have it be taken away by another company.
*These 10 people are just in this sub-forum alone. Who knows how many other lurkers are waiting for this dream to come true. This is just one site, there are numerous other F-Body sites out there so I'm sure this will be a worthwhile addition to the lineup!

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update.
We have our test mule on the rack and started the SFC's, we will be looking real good for the end of August beginning of September. I will have more information in a few weeks, the car has to go to a show this weekend so that slows it down a little. But they are in the works!

Hello everyone, just a quick update. I am on vacation this week but our design team has been dedicated to these this week. I am anxious to see the results Monday when I return and I hope to have pictures by Tuesday if I like what I see. Thanks for waiting!

3-Point SFC's Completed! Okay everyone..... here you go!
These are almost identical to our very popular 3-Point SFC's for the hardtop/T-Top models but designed to fit with the convertible bracing.
They will be available in weld in or bolt in. The bolt in model is 100% bolt in which means no holes to drill or any cutting. All hardware is included to bolt them in.
These would be available in red or black at no additional charge.
We are also going to work on a few different tunnel braces to go with these as well. I am pretty sure the factory X brace will work as well. If anyone has a picture of the factory convertible X brace post it and I can verify. My car didn't have one..
Notice on the last two pictures the extra bracing is bent to follow the contour of the vehicles floor. This means no ground clearance loss since they tuck up very tight.
I can work on a price for everyone.
Thanks!
Ryan

So, how many members are commited to ordering 3-point SFC's from Ryan (UMI)? I am ordering 3-point SFC's along with the supporting suspension mods (tunnel brace, torque arm, LCA's) for two convertibles.
