As always, there is always interest.
Just don't flood APE with ideas so he gets started on fifty products for us at once. Giving enough trouble on just the headers/traction bars.

Traction bars are done. They get shipped next week.
And there's not "always" interest. We have a hard enough time getting people to pay for cheap products. This is one of the most expensive parts for our car.

I'm gonna say for right now, I wont be doing anything new with APE for the RDs. We're going to start shipping the traction bars HOPEFULLY monday. I saw them all completed two days ago, so this isn't bunk info like last time you guys were told they'd be coated and shipped. They may be ready today or tomorrow, but they wont ship till early next week. We still dont know what boxes they'll need, and how much shipping will cost. It shouldn't be bad though, the box will be just a bit bigger than a strut bar box.
APE and FlyRyde need to start making money instead of promisses, and the first step is being a bit more strict on what we agree to. I'm sooooooo guilty of taking on more than I can handle in the past, and every time I make 100 bucks, I owe 400 in refunds on failed projects. So lets just say in well seated in a hole right now, lol. But hey, if the traction bars ship out, and more people want em, we'll know all the angles, how much everything costs, how long they take to fab up, etc. Production will continue as the demand does.
I will say this, they look pretty sick uncoated, but they wouldn't after a week or so of use. When they're done, I think they'll sell pretty well. And if they fit the old elantras, hopefully we'll manage to get a sale or two for them.

I plan to take it to the track as soon as i get it. So if it does its job, then I'm sure it will sell big.
