Just a picture looking down from a bit further back, Trying to get a general idea of the amount of room it frees up.

Edit: Nevermind I've got it now they were a bit confusing to me the first time I looked at them but I see it now.

I finally got around to installing mine as well. Great fit, I'm very pleased with them.

Its hard to get angled pics like that because the airlid is in the way.
Ill see if I can get one from a little further back. It does free up alot of space for sure.

You have a custom part built and was told it would be a while. We did the non parachute types first for both the Pontiac and Chevy models as we had several orders for both, have sold out of those and are on another production run now. Sorry about the delay but MWC is a small shop, extremely busy, and do what we can with the space and manpower we have.


Anyone else interested in standard bumper cover supports similar to the pics from the OP here we have them available and ship quickly. You will not find a better engineered, better fitting, and as light weight components as what MWC offers. We do offer custom mods to these supports but are built on a per-order basis.

To mount a fuel cell cell (dedicated for nitrous, something like the SAFE cell) do I need a special order or can I use the normal supports?

I got my front and rear supports a few weeks ago, just haven't gotten around to installing them but I will say they look like quality pieces and they are very light. On my scale, my front support came in at 3.9lbs and rear was 5.1lbs. I was abit of a wait for them but its not a "make or break" mod so I had no problem with waiting for the lightest supports on the market.

Word around the campfire is that they have an order for one. So I would expect them to be in production at some point in the near future.

I grabbed one of these for my front bumper while he had them in stock. Honestly, it's worth the wait. It fits great and doesn't weigh much. It's also really not that noticeable. Really nice piece.

I have the front and rear MWC supports. Was a wait but well worth it. If you dont have the patience to wait, then you just need to get out of racing all together.

Ok, thread stays on topic now!

No bashing. Buyer and feedback section is available.

If your asked to stop posting until things can be figured out listen, one member has a week off because he didn't.

Guys we are here to help, I'm in this game too. I know it's gets tiring to wait some times but it's part of racing. I would be lying if I said I never got mad about parts or machine work that went over my time quote. LOL But I try to stay calm and be nice, once you cross the line it doesn't seem to help.

Thanks, Andy
