I have not purchased through matrussell122 but I have been around long enough and have seen absolutely nothing that would make me question his honesty, integrity and commitment towards the community. I wish you would not be a litle f baby and try to ruin someones life because he made a simple mistake or something.

I got some of the first bars that were made way back when. Zero issues and they showed up in the advertised amount of time.

Matt has been very helpful to me over the last several years. Not only did I purchase 2 bars from him, he was helpful in how to build a front duct and his guidance on fender louvers and his pics were super helpful. I can't believe that one pain in the ass customer whose feathers were ruffled is making such a fucking issue to have contacted his employers. My approval of top notch seller and product :) Fully endorsed !!!

Just ordered and received a bar from Matt. Good communication and prompt shipping Welds and paint are solid. Can't wait to get this in with an oil cooler.

@matrussell122 Might consider a metal strip (with holes?) that over hangs the top bar that would permit mounting other elements...like ducting or oil coolers.

My bar is awesome and even showed up painted in two different colors. +1

PM sent!

Check my build thread. I used rivnuts to secure my ducting to the bar. Rivnuts are plenty strong to mount both ducting and an oil cooler. You could even throw an extra little bit going to the oem hood latch bolt point and have a really secure spot for a cooler.

Good idea...I do have a rivnut gun.

Have lots of material primed and ready to go into production. If you want a bar now is the time to get one!

I will have a batch of bars ready to ship Friday and two of them are still un spoken for. $195 shipped CONUS and no wait time! Pm me to get yours!

Thing worked great for me! Huge intercooler fit great and so far no over heating issues.

I have one bar ready to ship next day. Whoever wants to claim it.

PM sent.

Bump for those that still need a bar for a winter project!

Are any of these currently available? I sent funds on 11/22 and haven't heard anything back. Waiting patiently.

PM sent

Thank you!

Three bars on the shelf ready to ship this week no lead time!

I really dig mine.

I reviewed a good bit of the thread, but I may have missed it, was there ever any interest in doing an aluminum version? I don’t need add’l room for cooling, but I would like to drop as much weight off the front as possible. Either way, it looks like this is the thing to do if the plan is to also cut the top of the core support so engine swaps can happen easily through the front, correct?

Thanks

PM'ed

Here is my plan with these bars...thoughts welcome.

I have one bar ready to ship out today

Hey, what exactly is that material called?

Looks like the stuff yard real estate signs are made out of

Coroplast or something short for corrugated plastic

Corflute - you can buy sheets of it at large hardware stores (eg. Bunnings in Australia)

Any chance this is still available? Sent you a PM.

Going to a group buy format again and will be rolling batches of bars out in groups of 10. If you want in on this current batch send me a pm to get on the list.

Matt you should consider making tabs for splitter rods built right into the front bars

Can't wait sent $ hope to see them popping out soon

singing up for this.

I hope that you are not off-key ;)

i'm "the fuck is this guy saying..."
then i re-read my post.

lol send me a pm to get on the list

PM's you!

Seen some good ideas here and its motivated me to setup the ducting and put this bar in at the same time

I have 6 spots left on this batch of bars going into the mail tomorrow. If you want in on this batch now is the time.

PM’d you.

Sent money and PM'd you thanks

sending money as soon as I can. Bank being stupid. Save me a spot!!

I agree!

Did give me a chance to put more shitty welds on my car though.

Any update on this batch that supposedly went out on the 20th? Have not received mine yet, wondering if anyone else did :bigtu:

Joshua Feingold I have sent you messages with no response and need a valid shipping address to get your bar out.

Everyone else who ordered a bar should be receiving it in the mail this week.

Starting to build a list for the next batch of bars. Remember when you PM me make sure I have your name and a shipping address

Did this ever happen?

@Downmented

A lot has been up in the air lately and with the ducting kit Ill look into a sheet of aluminum and what itll take to make them at work. Shoot me a pm and ill work on pricing and have some answers this week. As for anyone else if ducting is something you wanted send me a PM and collectively maybe we can get a run going.

...I wish I would have found this thread 3 weeks ago...

received the bar and installed this weekend.
i still have engine bay paint left over, so i went ahead and hit it with a bit of car paint. single stage.

also welded the seams that were left open when the front bar was removed.
so awesome!

Ha ha yeah, looks like we're a bit late on this one, huh?

An update for those wanting ducting. I have material and sourced and am just getting the files updated to send to the router. Then will be able to start getting kits together. Price is still TBD and the final product will need some fine tuning to work with each individual setup. That being said it is 95% of the way there.

Those waiting on bars: I am hoping to have some made in not much longer. My business partner and I have pieces cut and just need to chisel out some time to weld/paint/ship the current orders.

Here is a ducting update. I didn't really like my original design so am doing a minor revamp. I have material sourced and will be doing a test fit of this on my car then once its verified I will get a batch made up.
