Default Plain (no-logo) Strut Braces from 928 Motorsports

Since the thread has devolved into another episode of Kibort vs. the World, it may have gotten lost in the noise that Carl has offered to make a special run of his beautiful square aluminum strut brace in a stealthy, no-logo, variant IF he gets 10 pre-orders, as mentioned in post #48 here

Since I started that mess by asking for them in the first place, I'd like to see it through and get the production run going. Come one, come all. It's this brace (http://www.928motorsports.com/parts/crossbrace.php) without the logo.

I always thought my factory brace seemed a little light in the hand.
I'd be in for one.

Guys -- The one and only way for you to be "counted in" is to actually place an order. (And, after 10 people place their orders, all of them need to pony up for the 50% deposit.)

Right. From the other thread:

I will make the un-engraved cross-brace if I have 10 confirmed orders. I cant afford the machine-time on a smaller batch (the ends are cut from 6061 billet).
But I'm smarter now than I used to be, and by confirmed orders, I mean Gretchen has the order and has taken a deposit of 50% on it.

Price will be same as it is right now, and I will sell it unpolished (mill finish) or polished, same as we do now.

Here is her number 920-485-0928
Here is her email address gretchen@928motorsports.com

I will post how many confirmed orders we have as it goes. When I hit 10, we're golden.

I'm ordered.

Thx for starting a new thread hwy, the other one has been tiresome and unfair to Carl.

Looking forward to a little mini-bling.

New thread. Good idea.

I think our count right now is 3 orders in... again, NO MONEY needed to place your order. However, when we do get to 10, THEN we will ask for a 50% deposit when we go to manufacturing.

On second thought, I think I'm going to go with the original logo brace from Carl.
Sorry guys.
