Keep in mind they'll sell the 70-80% of the kit HERE. So PUSH them for a discount with a group buy.

I'd say a 25% off on the price on the site.

Just wondering...
So if someone were to buy one of these.
Where would you go to have it installed?
How much would the install cost? /roughly
How bad would this eat the life of your engine, trans ect....?

Just a few questions that come to mind after seeing this.

Thanks,
AE

+1 A group buy seems appropriate. Even I'd consider getting the kit if a reasonable group buy presented itself.
