No guns for me but picked up a set of OZ wheels
The OZ wheels are nice, the Glock is different. I carried one everyday for a very long time.....a friend you can always rely on.....

Picked these up for 30%off. Hopefully they aren't too harsh over OE.

They're not too bad, but you may pick up some new dash rattles at idle.
Might want to pair this mod with cup holder delete.

Did you do the engine mount bolts as well? I'm having trouble sourcing the correct bolts.

Did that many years ago.
Pretty sure I got the bolts and Nord-Locks from McMaster.
I'll see if I can find the invoice tonight if I remember.

When you install those mounts, make sure the dimple on the bottom fits into the hole in the frame support.
I had to file down the diameter a little when I installed mine. I don't think they're quite round.

That would be greatly appreciated! And I will!

Looks like I bought them from ECS, but they're no longer available.
You'll have to get them from McMaster, but probably more of them than you want, but hey, you can never have too much left over hardware.
You need 6 M8x25 and 2 M8x35 (where the Vanos oil accumulator bracket is attached).

Yea, you're going to get a heck of a lot more of them than you need, but they're dirt cheap.
M8x25 = 90854A167 (Sack of 25)
M8x35 = 90854A172 (Sack of 25)
Nord-Locks = 91812A430 (5 per pack, so get 2 packs.)

Lowes.


It's a shame that the BW mounts come with Gummi Bears and stickers, but no Nylocs.
I think the VT mounts came with Nylocs.

Thanks for the word up. A new shifter has been on my radar for quite some time but this is the first time I have considered RTD and based upon my recent experience it may very well be the last.

Things have not gotten off to a good start as I am still waiting to hear back from them from a basic product inquiry for my vehicle. If they responded to customer emails in a timely manner it might have helped.

However, when asking a simple pre-sales question and after more than four days of patiently waiting but still no reply, their customer service is a bit tardy, to say the least.

This really doesn't install much confidence in a potential customer to want to hand over their hard earned $$$ if it is so much of a chore for them to even communicate with customers before they have paid.

If they are understaffed and/or too busy this time of the year to even provide a basic response then setting up a simple email auto-responder would really work wonders for their PR to inform their customers of any communications issues and to reassure them that they have not been forgotten about. In 2018, I am sure most would agree this level of customer service is far from acceptable. Having the best product in the World is meaningless if the other aspects of your business are not scaleable.
