I have one more left that I can ship today for the usual $150 price for whoever wants one. Starting next week i will have to raise the prices $25 to cover shipping costs. I had a nice deal set up to get free shipping but that is no longer available to me.

Good news for everyone interested in these bars. We have our own shipping account setup so that should streamline the shipping and ordering process. Also rear bars are in the development stages so if you guys have input on what you want to see I am all ears. Currently we can go one of three ways. Either a lightweight option like the front or a beefy but heavier option that can be used as a jack point in the rear, or lightweight rear bar with a separate jacking point not attached to the bar.

Lightweight, no jacking point, just like the front bar. Preferably as close to the bumper skin as possible for bump drafting.

I'd go with lightweight, jacking point is not that important. My vehicle is strictly street and I jack from the rockers. Maybe a jack point on this would be beneficial, but as I don't have a front jack point with the front bar, I guess it doesn't buy me much on the rear.

I’d say offer both versions, lightweight and jacking version. The jacking bars in the market have done well.

I was pimping out these bars at the KMiata meet at Gingerman yesterday. Told probably a dozen people to go buy them.

Nice. Put me on the list for a rear bar if it is minimalist and lightweight like the front one.

Getting the rear bar design finished up and need to get an idea of who would want one. There will be different designs for NA/NB fitment. The NB fitment will follow behind the NA bars a few weeks for more design work. If you are interested in a bar copy and add your name to the list below.

NA Rear Bar
  1. Arca_ex
Front Bar

So here is where we are at on the rear bars. Weight is just under 9lbs and will support the bumper. Going to build a test one to make sure everything works out then ill order up a bunch more material.

Default Jack spot?

Would it be possible to get a jacking spot for this support? Or will it not be able to hold the weight of the car?

Not an integral one but I could make a few pretty quick if there were 5 or 10 people that wanted one.

Now that I look back on the thread a bit I found the in depth convo about if we wanted to add the jacking spot.
I’ll take one of these bumpers without the jacking spot, if people get on board with a jacking spot I’d rather have that!
