Thanks for the order.

The TA one is done. We can start to take preorders on the Camaro version.

steve, this is off topic but i was wondering what the polished aluminum insert is in your steering wheel kit?

i have a grant wheel on my car now with the cheap grant install kit and it seems to rub on my coulmn......seems like it would work if i trimed a tiny bit off the plastic trim on my column but im not sure

Whats the time frame on one for the Camaro LS1 being ready? Will it have the option for the tow hook? I'm ready to buy one (If it clears the FMIC) when ever your ready .

We could include a tow hook. The Camaro one is already under development. It should work with a FMIC. What are the dimensions?

THanks for all the orders so far. We have very few of the initial 7 slots left.

maybe a stupid question. but will this work with the APS kit. what is the weight savings?
and on a front end crash. does it hold up like the factory made the car to. i have been i n a front crash with these cars and didn't feel a thing. the cars frame took all the pain. so please let me know.
thanks

while it may absorb some impact its job is to keep the bumper from flexing at speed for the guys that pull the oem bumper...........
