I am looking for his address and was hoping that one of you fine folks might be able to provide his main address and perhaps any alternative address he may have.

Thank you for your time.

I feel bad for the folks that spent $500 on this. This looks like something a high schooler in shop class cooked up for extra credit.
Anybody that would pay $500 for that garbage is a complete idiot. Look at the crappy welds on those things. It almost reminds me of the ugly "roll cage" they did in that yellow VRT car with the truck style "push bar" in the front rofl. Lord have mercy they destroyed that z.

this is a joke, so i guess the powdercoating in black is quite a clever move to hide inperfections and cheaper than a real quality polishing job...again is this worth even 400$?...
i mean if THIS JIc strut is worth about 200....this one just cuase its a bit more custom but offers nothing more at all, not even 4 looks(by the looks of final production part)...its worth more than twice?

HELL NO!

Obviously how disorganized this guy is and his apparent "care" for his own product are just typical of him...what else you expect from a guy that was heavily involved in all the vrt shenanigans, and its actually lower than MRAs$ as far as working out of a out of his house(his was his own appartment in a more getho area)....for starters

Unfortunately, the JIC does not fit the G. The, more well known, options are ARC at $1000, or Stillen at $200. I know I've seen a CF one, but not sure of the quality or manufacturer.

It wasnt destroyed,it was stripped down to nothing and I had the pleasure of watching the repo man haul it off with the VRT LLC plate still attached to the back The sad part was that the lady who owned it still owed $15k which is why she let it get repossesed.And yes the cage in that car was a pile of crap that provided no safety if you were in a horrible accident.It was for looks only.

I remember you mentioning something about that. I forgot about it being their bumblebee Z. The finance company actually did them a favor honestly. That car was a piece of garbage. I remember seeing that thing at a Stillen Meet a few years back. I witnessed first hand how off the measurements were on the front part of the cage. The measurements were so bad that they had to cut holes in the front part of the dash that were at least a good 3-4 inches in to make room for the front bars ROFL. Talk about quality work!

The sad part is, I believe Scott told his clients that the guy building cages was top notch and knew his stuff! When asked about why the cages sorta looked like crap, he claimed that it was for weight saving purposes.

Bad pic, but best I could find. You can see how much gap there is from the a-pillars in the 2nd pic. Also who can forget the wonderful front diffuser on the white G35 lol

The kid building the cages was 19.He tried ot get a job here and I told him no thanks.The sad part was he was going around with his resume and it had all the stuff he did for VRT in it.
