Is it just me or... - Page 2

Is it available yet Jason?

I need it since my NoviStretchBra covers my front plate.

How about a cold air intake? Is that in development?

I took a look at a C7 at the dealership... It's doable, and has already been done. I personally felt the body was a little flimsy where the bolts are, and wasn't sure I really wanted to try to attach anything to it. I also felt with GM's mount being a fairly decent piece that there wouldn't be enough demand for it...

If there's enough interest I could look at it again, but I know there are already a couple options out there.

No CAI making in my future, unless I win the lottery, or am just making my own.

I live in Texas and have been stopped twice in 15 years for not having a front plate on my 1999 C5. Both times was given a warning ticket. Still don't have the front plate on the car. Will not put it on my C7 when time comes. Most of the time you will not be stopped for not having the front plate. If you are stopped for some other reason they will give you a ticket. Cost for not displaying a front plate in Texas is $200.00

No one wants to run one... I don't. But yet I do, because I don't want to be stopped period. It NEVER fails, every time I get some new vehicle and it doesn't have a front plate I get pulled over just for that reason. Cops just suck here.

Rough guess, I'd say at least 50%, maybe more of the Camaro plate brackets I sell go to Texas.

A lot of people call me after they've already been pulled over and have received a ticket. Or when they only have X amount of days to get a plate on the car to get out of paying. Blah blah blah.

Sorry to here it Jason, but I understand.

Darn it!

BUT your products are STILL THE BEST and I'm glad had I them on my Camaro's when I still owned them.

I still recommend your products to Camaro owners at car shows too!

It's not a "No" for sure, but it would be nice to gauge how much interest there is before I commit to building something and making a bunch of stock to have on hand. I'm currently in the middle of designing a bracket for the Chevrolet SS, I've had a ton of requests for that one, and only two requests for a C7 bracket. Perhaps once the SS is done, I will revisit the C7.

Too bad you haven't lisenced your designs to GM. You might think about that.

You'd be making money hand over fist.

I was stopped recently by TX DPS...I braked when I saw him so after he passed me, going the other way, he made a u-turn and got behind me for about 1/4 mile then turned on his lights. When I pulled over he asked me why I was going fast, then looked at the front of my car and asked why I didn't have front plate on. He told me if I haven't been cited yet for no front plate that he would give me a warning but if I already had a warning he would have to write me a citation for it. He went to his car for a few minutes then came back and gave me a warning for "excessive speed" and "no front plate" - funny thing is there is no actual "speed" on the ticket so I really don't think he knew my actual speed - or it was only about 3-4 over the limit (of 60) - I was probably going 69! Regardless, I was smiling when he said I was only getting a warning - I would like to save that ticket for "really" excessive speed, not just 3-4 or 9 mph over the limit!

Moving forward with the c7 front plate bracket. I will have a prototype ready next week.
