Well, things are just about caught up on the front bumpers. I have been working on several other new items that I will be announcing officially next week. Because of the production cycle and the time it takes to get these to market there may be some overlap with items other folks are developing / announcing.

I tried to have most of the bugs worked out on the front bumpers before the production began , but the learning curve was steeper than I thought and it resulted in delays longer than I wanted.

So, in an effort to try to have product available in a shorter time period I invested in some tooling that will start becoming available next week, one because I knew there was a need, and I didn't want a repeat of the wait that was experienced with the front bumper. And yes one of the announcements will be the rear bumper, I should have that officially dialed in on the following week.

I know there has been some feedback that these products may devalue our cars. I'm hoping this is not the case, but do try to make my reproductions as close to OEM as possible, except where it makes sense to improve.

So, on July 16th I will be making some new stuff available for all of us. I think we all will need. I've gotten more aggressive in the development and have sunk allot more cash into what I hope will work out well for all of us.

I just wanted to let everyone know I haven't been idle.

I haven't been posting much lately on product, but will let everyone know when I can get my production schedule nailed down.

oh, and i forgot to mention how excellent the rear window seal was to install.

it was way more work getting the old one out (as it disintegrated in my hands) than installing the new one.

cheers-
