Carbon Fiber Front Bumper

[Hangman77]

I ran the AG H5 / Group 47 / 24 ah Restart model. Once I had the issues, I just returned it and haven't given it another thought. I read the battery you mentioned has worked well for some, and that was the one I was going to try next. Again, I had just put it to the side and concentrated on suspension and other pieces with the thought of coming back to it another time.

It's great to hear you have had amazing success with the ATX20-HD. How do you have it mounted since its such a small battery? Will their SAE Adaptors work for our cars or another option works better? Thanks! I may just go ahead and buy another one. I really want to try again, its such a huge weight loss making the switch.

thanks so much for posting the pictures of the steeda k member mounting spots. My dad and I were under my car today and were discussing the k member install and he asked about that.

these pictures just solved that for us. Thanks again bud.

I’m also wondering about the mounting solution for the HD battery. I got that sitting on the charger on my workshop table. And I need a mount for it. I see the Morris engineering mounts but they’ve been sold out every time I check the site.

curious to see how @honeybadger has it mounted.

I have an older version of one of these mounted behind the passenger seat. Wanted to keep it out of the hot engine bay, but not run a stupid amount of cable. No pick that I can find at the moment. I can take some new ones once the car is back together.

Speedkore hit me up and while they were making the front bumper it blemmed. so they are throwing me $1000 off to keep it. Or they will just rebuild me another one, It works out since I’m painting it so I’m keeping it for the discount.

for those that want to know the weight so far, they have a wet layup primer layer on the parts for me. The primer layer only added 4-5 grams of weight to the bumper. Front bumper weighs 9lbs

here’s some pics they’ve sent me so far

they are about to finish the front bumper soon. Gonna get these parts pretty quick. Just gonna be waiting on Anderson next.

I've heard nothing but great things about Speedkore and looking at that bumper, I can see why.

Front bumper could not be saved. So they are remaking me a new one.

here is the finished parts so far.

Speedkore Parts shipped last week Monday. Should be here soon.

Funny coincidence, they arrived today at my buddies speed shop.

Box looks kinda mashed. So hopefully no damage.

Classic. I fucking hate shipping companies. When I opened my latest motor from Tim, I found the engine tipped over. I inspected the crate more and saw evidence something had rammed the pallet so hard it pulled out the lag bolts and allowed the engine to fall over. Fortunately for me, it turned out okay. Just a bit of scuffing on a valve cover. Fingers crossed for ya

I would have thrown up a little on the engine like that when you got it. Jeez. Luckily I’m like 15-20 min from Tim so I can pick it up when it’s done. I checked with him recently. Engine should be completed in a couple weeks.

Hopefully the panels are ok tomorrow. Luckily the box above wasn’t very heavy. So like you said fingers crossed. I gotta get some o2 sensors for my hellcat tomorrow so I’ll be stopping to pick them up.

Still waiting on the Anderson pieces

Fedex, UPS have gone so down hill. I've received packages that look like they went through a war zone. The most frustrating part is where you order something expensive (like a $3k full exhaust package), you wait patiently, it finally arrives and the boxes are so beat up that they have a hole the size of a basketball in one. The clock is ticking as the delivery guy is waiting for your signature. So you have to choose between rejecting it, and then waiting God knows how long or signing and accepting it and hoping nothing is damaged or missing. I guess over the years the parcel companies have decided it costs more to care for packages than it does to treat everything like a rented mule and just deal with whatever claims that are actually filed.

I bought some Speedkore items from a fine gentleman on one of the FB GT350 groups. He spent $1200 just on shipping and crating. The entire shipment weighed over 400 lbs (for about 60 lbs worth of goods) and it took me an hour with a crowbar and a hammer and a screw gun to get it apart. At first I thought it was overkill, but seeing horror stories, I understand why now.

This is the importance of inspecting any component from any manufacturer upon delivery, even if the carton looks okay on the outside. Do not assume and do not wait 6 weeks to open the box.

Got the speedkore stuff in. No damage thank goodness.

Took some preliminary weights.
