No, that's the only part we don't make unfortunately. You can get them from BMR though...

ABS is not too bad but not a walk in the park. I used a kit from SJM Manufacturing. Basically you take out the ABS modulator after taking loose all the lines and unbolting it. The rear brake line goes into a proportioning valve and then a line lock will go into place with a small distribution block for the fronts. All lines in the kit are preformed (master cylinder to line lock, master cylinder to proportioning valve, and line lock to block) and you have to cut and reflare the others.

dhdenney do you have any pics of the Pro Choice fittings for the bottom of the car??? The Fittings they sent me are identical to the ones you have on the fuel rail, but look different for the bottom???

Also for your ABS setup (ordered mine from SJM and recieved it a few days ago) did you do yours with the motor in the car?? IF so how hard was it, putting C6 style brakes on the car and I figured I would do it all at the same time.

Did not buy the fittings for the bottom. I used worm drive clamps there. I did do the ABS delete with the motor in the car. It's not really hard at all. Once you actually get the modulator out of the way there's lots of room to work with. If the smog pump is gone, then you've got tons of room. The whole process is not affected by the motor in my opinion.

I just realized you're the one with the modded radiator support. If you've done all that, then ABS delete is cake!

I removed my A/C not that long ago. Purchased the bypass pulley from summit. 30 bucks online, 1 hour for disassembly and installation of bypass.

Removed ac/heat/abs/coolant overflow(got another smaller one underneath) /put pcm under dash/wires for engine harness come through firewall behind engine/hood latch cable tucked/no power steering/alt relocation and a COMPLETE wire tuck of front harness and fuse box(so far I haven't found another person who has done this) / and then welded and filled all the holes on the inner fenders.

*blink* !DASH? Remove it and just screw in thin sheet metal or even some thin plexiglass painted on the back (so it shines and doesn't scratch) and then make your gauge holes if you really want to do that >_>

He doesn't wanna delete it. He just wants to take it out for a little bit.
