Default AM Ships quick again!

Hey guys. I just ordered a set of FLSFC's and a 14 inch shorty antenna from AM last night and low and behold they have them shipped out today! Just awesome. Should see them Tuesday, I would bet. I'm excited about that.

How much does install typically run on these SFC's? Since they are weld on, I can't do myself... Haha.

I'm glad they ship quick cause our site sponsor Rep doesn't return PM's asking for the discount code.

It would be much cleaner with a tig. tig welding under the car is not the easiest thing to do and it would probably cost a lot more.

Who have you been sending a pm to? AMNick was promoted, so he doesn't spend much time on the forums any more. The quickest way to get a response is to send me a pm. I usually respond within a business day, since I'm not here over the weekend.

Thanks for the great feedback, bopiela. Good luck with your install, I hope you can find a shop that's reliable.

Tungsten Inert Gas welding and Metal Inert Gas welding. Its two different styles of welding. Typically TIG welding is more time consuming and is usually stronger, but for what the welding will do, MIG will work just fine. My subframe connectors are MIG welded and they turned out great. And i was quoted a CRAP LOAD for install from a local shop(SGS). Also, make sure that they are put on the car while the suspension is loaded, like on an alignment rack or something.

Check your PM's, I sent you one several days ago. I've been trying to order wheels tires and caster camber plates but I need the code.

+1 I think MIG welding subframe connectors is sufficient.
