I understand the constraints you got for space...just trying to help, cuz I want in on the scoop action too! |
WTF? i want those too

Price for the scoop: $100-125
Price for scoop+filter: $165-$185
Skid plates will be available to ship in 1-2 weeks. The price for the skid plates will be $75 per set. These are not painted or powder coated as we felt, the first time you scrape something bad, it will take the coating off anyways. Laidback might not want to hear this but our production version of the skid plates are double the thickness of the one we put on his. So, you can all tell him, "Mine is bigger than yours."
Its always our priority and passion to create, design and offer quality/funtional products to our customers....AT A GREAT VALUE. We feel that the ram air set up at the $100 range will out perform many competitors products both in performance and in value (hp/$ ratio).

Eloy (RPI) ordered the BMC filter for me and we'll see if the sound changes....

Btw couple of updates for you guys...
Since it was raining pretty bad today I took the m coupe and drove it for atleast 80 miles and it was pouring and the car performed well (i was thinking water might seep in but to my surprise it's pretty dry in there...so another win for the scoops!
And also I emailed Eloy this morning and I told him if i'll organize a grp buy for the skid plates if he's interested in giving us a discount and after alot of asian persuasion
he said he'll do the SKID PLATES for $65 and since i got the prototype i want the real deal...so here it goes GROUP BUY TIME!
Skid plates....
