Engine Dampers? Kfx Performance...
Here you go man. Sorry for the delay. I tried to get a pic of the bracket that is bubbled. Looks like a light glare across the bracket. Its definitely very noticeable when set next to the other brackets that look good.

Yeah, that's the setup for the Kia we did, they probably threw an extra bracket in there because the other one looked bad. All of these only get 2 brackets.
Hope they didn't send these out to more folks. LOL The instructions are the same as the ones I got, just use it for how to set the tension on the damper, the brackets will be VERY self explanitory with the previous pictures up, but I can do a quick DIY if you want.

Sure he can, but Tibbytib bought his nearly last on the list, and no one else has reported getting one, so they probably haven't shipped any others yet.

I love you Tom, but WTF? LOL I just said, the kit you got looks like the kit we made up for the Kia Rio5. If you look at the pics on the first page, the brackets don't look like the current ones at all my man. Just hold on to what you got till Bill comes in broha.

BILL........
I just recieved mine as we speak and have the exact same parts listed in the pic as TibbyTib and got the Kia brackets sent with the kit.......
So basically everything that comes with the kit we can use to install the damper kit in the RD?(minus the brackets of course)
BTW are the brackets being directly shipped from them and if so can they write down a value of like $5US and warranty replacement for the brackets because i already got rapped with custom and duties from them and dont want to pay again for it..
Let me know
Thanks

I am sorry for the missunderstandings. Both NRG and Johnny my order guy got a little order happy here. NRG recieved the mounting brackets at 5:15pm today and shipping will start Monday. The orders I have are
1. Dario Rementeria - Not shipped
2. Richard Cullen - Not shipped
3. Mathiew Garneau - Shipped dampner only
4. Robert Cioffi - Shipped dampner only
5. Thomas Giomi - Shipped dampner only
6. Radu Berinde - Not shipped
7. Kabir Sarin - Not shipped
8. Adam Outler - Not shipped
9. Eric Groth - Not shipped
All of the units that have not been shipped will be shipped Monday. The ones that just received dampners will have their brackets also shipped Monday.
There are 9 left to sell as 20 were originally made, Jeremy has one set and NRG is sending a set of brackets to their supplier so that they will be in stock.
Once these have gone, we will not have more for about 60 days. The brackets need to be painted or powder coated, we will not have these brackets finished. the new ones will be.
These are also going to be tested on the newer Tiburons as well as Elantras.
I am sorry for any missconfusion. This is the current status

I have a damper, but its also the wrong color. Are the silver dampers available, because that is what I ordered on the website. I will need to exchange my carbon fiber damper for a silver finished one.
