New products???

We would like to know what other products you all are interested in seeing designed and manufactured. Currently we are working on a couple R&D projects for various vehicles. One is a harness bar for the 94 - 96 Impala SS. We designed another for a WRX last year and I haven't seen any available for the Cobalt. Suggestions are always welcome. There seems to be a very strong local Cobalt club here and I'm betting we could get a couple of them to donate their cars for some R&D work.

Let's here it everyone. How often do you get the chance to tell a manufacturer what YOU want built? You think it up and we'll built it. Please keep the suggestions reasonable and non-sexual.

Should we make it adjustable so you can rotate the bar up to teeth level?

Seriously though, when some of the local NW guys chime in, we'll see if one of them is willing to drop their car off for a day. It shouldn't take longer than that.

That's one product. Keep them coming.
Thanks.

Moved to your forum, please only use the Supporting Vendor Deals & Group Purchases section once you have a product & sale going on & not for gaining interest in R&D.

Thanks

Thanks. I haven't become familiar with this site yet. I didn't realize I even had my own forum.

mrz makes a strut bar to.. yea i would love to see a harness, plan to get one in the future when i start doing autocross..

also the lower brace would be nice to which goes in the back of the car where the back seat peoples feet sit.. there is one on cobalt addiction..

Id buy both in the future..

How about making seat brackets for aftermarket seats, them suckers would sell really well

also you could design your own racing harnesses. I am just so full of ideas

How about powercoated valve covers, dress up kits and stuff.. Id sure bring my car if it was in PA..

How about tuning for us cough cough 2.2's cough cough.. ugg think i choked there..

Make your own intakes to, 3 inch ones. I can keep on giving ideas all day long.. how about tinited tail lights and projectors or something like that..

I just bought the harness bar from cobalt-addiction. even though i didnt want to spend $300 for it, they were the only ones that made it. How about the entire lower control arm with urethane bushings and performance ball joints (do our cars even have ball joints on the control arm? lol)

lol... aftermarket seat brackets ftmfw. no joke AT ALL there. also, more companies competing with different products equals good things for everyone (more competition = better products/prices, more variation = more customization, more customization = more attention to cobalts = more money for vendors! ) Also, the valve covers and dress up kits are an awesome idea. that is something that you can never have enough companies making, since they're supposed to be different...if everyone has the same dress up kit...its' stock. lol

Thanks for all your interest everyone. We just finished severl custom projects; 72 Nova exhaust, 02 supercharged LS1 Camaro headers, Y-pipe and exhaust and 68 Ford Bronco custom headers and exhaust.

We now have the rack open and have been able to start on other projects. One was designing a harness bar for the 94 - 96 Impala SS. We have another couple hours to get it production ready.

Soooo, if anyone in the local area has a car available for a few days, we would like to use your car for some R&D. We are a small shop so we can not offer free products, but we can offer cost of materials only for the R&D product.

Let us know if anyone is interested.
Thanks again.

Also, we will be at the Puyallup Swap Meet in the Pavillion this weekend. We will also be at the Seattle Roadster show at the end of the month.
