congrats on the new business oppurtunity =) i will snag one once i hear some feed back from the people on the forum.

=)

 

Question about the top view shot and the parts list. It appears that that the aluminum brace (bar) rests against the acrylic sheet. But it also looks like there is a slightly curved piece directly against the bumber. What is the curved piece?

 

reflection on the paint of the actual bar?

 

This product is good. You should pick one up.

 

do you have one on already?...any installed pics for us to see?

 

I sure do. Check it out here.

so is it still $42.50 by money order? do you still have many left for 2005 coupes?

 

i think mbq62 and clokwork are friends/partners....not to say it's not a good product. i just would rather wait for actual customer's responses.

 

yes, he is a friend of mine. 9 have shipped so far. I am sure you will have replies soon.

 

i'm confident it's a great product and i am definitely in. i just want to get some feedback from others first....no insult to you.

 

Same here.

 

None taken at all man. I appreciate the kind words.

You should have some feedback by the end of the week once they get them on and see the integrity of the product. The addition of the Brace bar on the back is vital so that there can be absolutely no scrubbing of the bumper. It just wont happen with this on.

 

On some of the pictures you have had on your website (some have been removed) the acrylic backing plate is cracked near the screw holes or in the corners. Any chance of replacing it with an aluminum plate instead of the clear acrylic? I think if the entire structure were made of aluminum there would be no doubt as to its integrity, durability, and strength. The acrylic part is the only reason I am hesitant to purchase the product. I think the idea is great, just the implementation with acrylic is not.

 

The reason there is a crack on the demo piece is due to testing. I wanted to see how much stress each hole could take before failing. I was using tapered screws for testing to start with and thus, the crack happened. All screws that come with the G|Plate are phillips head and lay flat to the surface. no chance of cracking.

I hope this answers your doubt.

BTW, I did consider an aluminum backing, but the cost of production would have shot up due to the stamping process and tapering the edges so that no one gets hurt.

 

I want to ask this question again. What is the curved piece near the bumper? Is this some kind of illusion/reflection as someone suggested, or is this part of the brace?
