WTF? yellance, do you think everyone has a digicam in their back pocket?

Atticus_Bram is obviously an NSC employee. There's no other reason to act so pissed off at a complaint. I guess no one wants to bother getting a vendor's license anymore...

not true. he does know the guys though. they are members of sclc. we all know them so we tend to stick up for them because they are friends of ours. i have seem some of the cuts that aren't straight, but i've also seem some really nice things from these guys and i'm just glad that there's some other competition and choices out there.

i doubt they're going to get a vendor license here because of how much it is and NSC isn't a full time gig for them. they do this stuff in their free time and i doubt it'll be worth it for them to pay evom to sell stuff here.

Well, being a company kissass is nearly the same thing, I suppose.

because its fun..... Well... when somebody buys something and it turns out to not be what you expect.. It can make you frustrated and if you let other people know about your experience they can make a decision on the item if they werent sure...

Thats why.

Thumbs up

I'm NOT trashing NSC. I just dont want anyone to think that the shield was anything more then what it is. Like i did. I can make it useful, but with time & effort.

Pictures as requested.

wow.. looks like crap.... the edges on my damper kit are as jagged as those. You can even see where they marked the aluminum to bend it... That thing is garbage.

crypto- i would cancel the order and get money back at that point. I waited like a month and I thought that was way to long.

Seems as though your paying for the labor of bending , drilling, and cutting a piece of metal.

Did it come "painted with High Temp Paint" as Atticus_Bram claims?

Does it actually work at lowering your under hood temps?

Jesus I could do better than that and I have no experience with metal apart from cutting and bending sheet metal.
