Looks great. Good to hear they have great service.
I want to get one on my car but they cut my frame horns completely off so I can't just bolt one on.

Looks great. When did they start only putting 1 upright tube in? I ordered one about 3 weeks ago (for a Firebird) based on the picture on their site with 2 verticle tubes and have a component mounting need for those tubes. Guess I'll have to wait and see how it arrives.

EDIT: Looks like the Camaro version may have one and the Firebird/TA has two.

How much does it weight?
How much over all weight did you take off the car from just this mod?

The new support weighs 10 lbs. The stocker is heavy I think 30? I'm sure someone actually knows the true weight.
