My guess is that it would work for Evo owners also that have the Sun, Sound and Leather package.

It fits. It doesn't exactly fall into place, but if you can do an engine swap, you can install this.

Seriously, though, I spent almost 2 hours installing it. It doesn't look hard, but if those holes don't line up exactly, you've got to wrestle with it. I had to tweak the center support with a rubber mallet.

Rob, I'll PM you a suggestion or two.

Pics to come tomorrow, because my flash card reader is still kaput.

Here's the pics of it installed in an S&S Ralliart.



And the driver's side close-up...



And the passenger side, showing it going behind the sub...



Pics are clickable for a 1280x960 version.

Enjoy.

Thanks for the pics and review Myszkewicz.

OK, design revision will be to delete the middle tie point. Sounds like a PITA to install because of it.

Anyone want to sign up for a group buy?

$130 Shipped. 5 offered at this price. I'm pretty booked with orders (custom Beretta headers), so you will have 2 weeks to decide.

First 5 people to reply and post their name get one. Cut and paste in your post with the last person to sign up's name above yours.

1. BLKRalliArt04 (paid) (shipped)
2. Kmfdm
3. blk-majik
4. Freddie1111 (paid)
5.

I forgot to add that putting the nuts on is MUCH easier if you put a bit of electrical tape in the socket. Sticky side towards the socket, not the nut.

PDX, I'm going to weld up an L-shaped brace for that center support, since that tube didn't work out for me. I'll let you know how that goes.

And yes, I do plan on doing a write-up of the install, start to finish.

One of these days...

No biggie, maybe I will keep these at this price for a while. If not, I'll guarantee the price to at least the first 5 on the list.
