Thanks,

If all goes well, I should be able to ship out the next batch on Monday, if not, Tuesday the latest.

From the two sedans (both 03s) that I have seen, there was very little space between the chassis and the ABS line/white plastic piece. Install was possible, but a little more involved than a coupe. Will report back when I find out more but I'll be looking into a 05 (seems to have more space), but at the end this bar does fit the sedan, it's just a matter of the install and the clearance.

Oh, this is the space I'm talking about

So the problem is on the right side strut tower? I'm guess the black thing on the top left is a z tube.

Yes, the problem is with the driver side strut tower. If you look at page 2 or 3 in this thread, there are pictures of how close the tower bracket comes to the ABS line (in an 03 sedan).

currently it will not fit over the vortech but BRANDO is going to do some testing to see if he could get it to work.

Thats a great question indeed. For those that have monitored this thread since its inception, they will know that our initial GB price was set at $280 for a 25 persons minimum. After much consideration of the comments from most of you on here, we decided to lower the price to its current price of $225 shipped and even lowered the amount of people needed for the GB to only 20. So instead of having a multi-tiered system of lowering the price by $10-15 per 10 persons, we made it even simpler by dropping it from $280 to $225 with only 20 people. I hope that this made sense.

With regards to future pricing, we anticipate on repeating this group buy at the beginning of March, thus needing another 20 people in order for those people that miss out this time around to obtain the $225 shipped price. So I would highly recommend those that are interested or planning on buying to get in on it before this month is over. Otherwise, you'd have to wait for another batch of 20 people.
