At least I think it was a score. These are $540 retail and I paid $275 brand new in the box!! Can't wait to install and have my car feel even more like its a solid chunk of steel driving down the road. Solid motor mounts and subframe bushings would help


Only kidding. I like a little vibration but solid motor and subframe bushings won't be happening.

I'll post some pics on Thursday when they show up and maybe do a quick install since I have a 12 ton press now with all the fittings.

Dude you car is awesome. Pretty much what i want my car to look like eventually. Did you make your front splitter/lip? Hard to find one besides a custom ARP built one for a 13+

Yes I did. 1" aluminium square tube from HD and used some oem frame holes and radiator support with washers for spacers and self taping screws etc so it wash perfectly level. then a 4x8 sheet of max metal which isn't hollow or ribbed like alumilite is. With the wheels off I traced underneath so it goes back far enough and traced about 3" the curve of the bumper. After cutting and installing I cut the sheet one more time to still have max support but allow access to the oil pan, sway bar endlinks and lube points etc. that way the whole thing doesn't have to come off or undo the steel cables.

Idk how many of you have GT wings or GTC wings but holy crap is our trunk weak!! If you mount the base screws through more than 1 layer of the inside re-enforcements you're going to bend the deck lid as it gets sucked down in. So I only did the outside skin. Well that's way to weak and thin of aluminium. So I beefed it up a little!

Now the trunk has 3 layers. One of which in the middle is really thick metal. The other 2 are just paper thin. I didn't want to cut through all that so the new under mounts are only going to the back 2 screws because I didn't want to cut more. The old method was just aluminium blocks about 2x2. From the vid you can see major flex!

Now I have a piece of steel angle iron under the lid. Welded to that is another piece about a foot long so I can unbolt from the inside and still use the trunk. Then more angle iron welded to a 5/8" thick piece of steel then bolted to the trunk floor. I'm still not done with the drivers side and I'm going to bolt both sides together for lateral support on the inside. But over all a major difference! The car now moves vs the deck lid
