NormSky.
I will put you in the list but as I mentioned to Dr. Gronk it may take a little while to get this 7th batch to the 10 required.
Thanks

LV, you can add me to the list, prefer silver, but black or red is OK, I really don't care what color it is.

DaveOC since this will be a new batch (7th) you can pick the color you want.
 I will put you down for Silver.
Also Silver or Black the powder coating is $5.00 but for RED is $15.00. (Those are the actual prices from the powder coating company)

Hey LV, I sent you a PM regarding a shipping quote to Toronto, Canada.  Have you gotten a chance to get to that?  Thanks!

LV, you can put me down for a silver one from this latest batch.

I'm not in a crazy hurry to get it, as the Solstice will soon be getting tucked away in the garage when winter arrives.

Received mine today as promised.  Was putting on my new NC plates onto the cars when the FedEx man arrived.  Talked my sweet wife into assisting.   Done in a little over 30 minutes.  For the side bolts I used a 1/4 drive ratchet with a 13mm long socket and short extension.   Fit into the space better than a wrench,  Went very well.  Now time for a ride and to take the sweet wife out to dinner for helping.

Received our Front Chassis Brace this morning. Thanks, LV, for the quick shipping. But more importantly, thanks for the outstanding addition to our SKY. In his excitement my 15 year old called me as soon as he got home from school to tell me it was in. Unfortunately, that was at 3:40am - my time! Hopefully he can wait to put it in until I return from Beijing the last week of October.

BigSal,
There is NO Colors left since the last batch #6 was sold out.
I have started a new batch #7 and you can order Silver, Black or RED powder coating.
Please look at post number one for the powder coating prices.
Then tell me what you want and I will add you to the list.

As always NO PAYMENTS are required until I have the product on hand.
Thanks

Hey LV.  We've been PMing each other lately regarding shipping quotes.  I'm late to this thread.  I'm assuming it's the same order of 10 you need filled before production begins?  I'm in for a black one.  How many orders do you have now?

Finally put the LV brace on and I can tell a difference even on normal street driving but I did take a few more aggressive turns and it held its composure better.  Cowl shake movement is reduced quite a bit and that makes driving much more enjoyable.  I wonder if GM intended to have a brace and either took it out to save cost or increase mileage by reducing weight.  Why is that second location for a bolt on the frame if not for such a purpose; I have a RL so perhaps it is used in the NA?
