Yup. Looks like NRG was nice enough to grind them smooth on the edges for us though. Very nice. That red is kinda HOT.

oh kickazz that red one is soooo sick.

the plates are not touched up on the sides, no biggie.

on what REDZ is talking about the sides of the plates, its because of Kevin's (the guy that made these brackets) table. the guide that hold the plasma torch are worn out, but no worries. i was informed that last week he just invested 175k in a HD plasma 6'x12' table that is 3 years old and only was used at about 50% of its capacity cut wise.

give them brackets a nice rattle can job and you will be good to go.

also my did not come powercoated, i did not care if it did or not...so i sprayed painted mine with HI temp silcone paint

so here are the pics...





and yes i know about the strut bar mounts being blue i will take care of that

edit...

No, it wouldn't. You'll also notice he's selling the exact same thing for almost 3 times as much.

The bad things about his?

1. Price. ALL of these are built the same, it'sw not worth the price.
2. Location. Uhm, does that look just a BIT exposed to anyone else?
3. Location of mounts. Let's see, if you get the NRG/KFX one and something goes wrong, you might, at worst, have to replace the motor mount it attaches to. With his, you will, at best, break of a section of your tranny/engine that it mounts to. I'd rather replace a mount housing then a tranny or engine.
4. LOCATION! Who in the hell will ever SEE it down there?
