Default Burkhart bumper support

How much fabrication is needed for https://ls1tech.com/forums/parts-cla...rome-moly.html I know how bad their rear end fits the trans am. Should I just have one made?

havnt heard of any bad fitments with the burkhart front bumper support... josh from ky turbo is making my turbo kit around one which includes the fog light brackets for the trans am. I would spend the money and get an actual trans am one as the clips will match and you can have fog light brackets.

Midwest Chassis sells them as well. I ordered a front and rear bumper support from them. Lighter than Burkharts and MUCH cheaper also. PM MWC about it for info. Powdercoating available also for them.

I will check mwc I already did the rear with burkhart and I know how awful of work they did on it and how their lack of experience in rear end and jig building was. I really wish I would have went with mwc or moser on rearend but I didn't want to wait.

We have model specific supports. All of them have been featured in GM High Tech. The read support is specific too.

You talk alot. But seriously I saw it who made it for you? I know the quality of your work, first hand. I still have the pictures remember them? Do you want people to see? Your car knowledge is scary at best. You do know you could get somebody hurt, killed. With the car knowledge you have.

Come on Steve.I am waiting for the crap about standing behind your product. If you got money to spare. My wife's car is in shop right now with more fab 9 design failures. Next after this fix the anti roll bar mount you messed up! Why didn't you tell me you had no clue where to put it! You were gonna guess at it! Real bad guess! Almost as bad as the lca relocation brackets attempt!

This issue is over 3 years old. We attempted to work with you on the rear end and you chose not to. We even talked with your wife when you had a melt down. We also have no record of selling you a bumper support. Why would you even buy one when you have been stalking me for 3 years and bitching.

I do stand behnd our products and tried to do that with you. You chse not to work with us. Instead you stalk and bitch.

We have sold thousands of rear ends in the 12+ years we have made them. Very few issues and the few we had were resolved with rational people. You are the exception. We even offered to accept a full return.

We have sold over 700 bumper supports. You are the one person that has an issue.

This is a trend to me. I hope you find a shop that can satisfy you. Better yet, open your own with the vast array of fabrication and mechanical experiene you boast.

I cannot work with customers that refuse to cooperate. Best of luck in the future.
