Default Spectacle Solutions air lids, going to be doing them again...

I had a guaging intrest thread about this and it got moved, deleted, ect, so here goes again. I talked to Brian about another run and also the company he used to make them. I am local to both parties mentioned and this can be doable if others want one. Im in the process of getting prices based on # of lids to be made from 1 to ??? If intrested let me know in this thread along with PM please incase this thread gets lost. I will post back when prices are known.All parties intrested will be figured before order is made. Money will only be excepted if the order is made and everything works out.

I can only guess it was removed or moved because you're not a sponsor. If the guy building the lids is then he needs to post. If neither of you are: http://www.internetbrands.com/ib/advertising.

Please don't do the site sponsors a disservice by knowingly or unknowingly going against the rules they are following.

I guess I understand, although, Im not selling anything.I am, however, offering a way to obtain a not marketed or built piece that no other induvidual / sponsor makes or sells. Whats wrong with that? On a side note, I emailed tech admin asking why it was moved or if it was and have gotten no responses so I didnt know I did anything wrong...

I thought SS went out of business?

That is what I was told when I tried to get in touch with them about the hack job porting on my 102 and how the bolts weren't tightened when put back together.

What is a fair price to list it at? I truly don't know. There is no cracks, no repairs, or anything wrong with it.

Correct, its a spectale solutions air lid designed by a former sponsor here. It was to help the blower pull more air in with the same pulley due to a straighter air flow path. It supposedly added 20rwhp (about the equivalent of 1-1.5 extra lbs of boost) without having to down size the blower pulley. Id start by asking $250 for it if I were you due to how rare it is.

Ok, thanks. I have a few PMs already with offers ranging from 50 to 200

I'll make an actual thread tomorrow with that number as the price. If it really adds 20rwhp it's worth $250 in my eyes
