I have Air conditioning and there is absolutely no problems with this Front Chassis Brace.
This one is completely different from the Werks and the reason for the design.
With theirs you have to do a bit more than just bend the line.
Look at the pictures I posted, then look at Werks and you will see why mine does not need any adjustment to any part of the car.
It is a simple functional design for the purpose of tying the front chassis together, in a very solid way.

Folks,
Since we seem to have more people than the Braces that are schedule to be made, let me see if the fabricator wants to make 10.
The reason for the 5 was because the fabricator wanted to make sure the price we agreed on, could be sustain once he went automated.
I posted the names base on the times people posted and or PM me.

You can not use the LatinVenom Kappa Front Chassis Brace with the one from WerksAutomotive.
Also once you folks have this product, then it will be the time for a discussion about this product vs the others.
All I am going to say for now is just look at the bare Chassis picture I posted...........

It can be used with the DDM brace, they serve different purposes.

Yep - that's why I want one.  The combination will bring a whole new meaning to the term "roll hoop".

Latin Venom, Miss Red Eagle had the Race Backbone and Probeam installed by DDMWorks at the Denver NASSM along with the Martin Tune.  The difference was immediate in suspension improvement with the DDMWorks Race Backbone and Probeam.  Bob, (snaponbob), will be installing our DDMWorks Red Cross Bay Brace along with the P/S relocation Kit probably some time this next week, as it depends on his schedule and when he can allow time to do the install.  He has promised a "Blood Free" install, although as mentioned by Critter, if blood were spilled it would match the Red DDMWorks Cross Bay Brace!  How convenient!!!  I hope I don't jinx Bob by mentioning it!  Man, Critter, you come up with some beaut's!

Maybe this is two much with the additions.  Possibly it would be better to drive Miss Red Eagle after Bob has installed the Red DDMWorks Cross Bay Brace and see how the ride is changed!  Then maybe pull the trigger latter on the Latin Venom Front Chassis Brace or braces?

Now, if I decide to hop on this offer, for two of the Latin Venom Front Chassis Braces, will this possibly be "overkill" and make the ride to firm??  Any input would be welcome.

Just to clarify the issue with the possible 10 Braces.
I will not know until the 15th of this month.
I will talk that day with the fabricator and see if I can convince him to make 10.
On the 15th is when he will show me the final fabrication for my inspection and fitting.
If everything is a go, then I can ask him if he would make an additional 5.
Also as always, I do not want your money until I have the parts on hand.
You can use PAYPAL but you need to pay the fee's.
You can always send me a Money order, this way you can avoid the PAYPAL fees.
The brace will be mail using Fedex Ground.
One last thing, the LatinVenom Kappa Front Chassis Brace is ONLY for a GXP Solstice or SKY/RL with a 2.0 LNF motor.
I have no way at this time to know if it will fit a 2.4 NA car.
Thanks

At this time I really do not want to get into a discussion of the different chassis braces.
Honestly, when I decided to designed this brace with the input of some friends, it was to be a one of.
I am going to let you all be the judge once you get the Brace and install it.
For now please let's not go there.
Thanks.

PayPal clarification. They've reorganized PayPal which gives you two main categories to send money: "Purchase" and "Personal"

Any of the choices under "Purchase" require a fee. By paying this fee you get protection if screwed.

Any of the choices under "Personal" have no fee, but you are not protected.

Also you can pay with PayPal using your credit card for either type Personal or Purchase, but there is a separate fee for that.

So you can use PayPal without a fee.
