About the latches:
Only 1 latch will be needed for the fenderwell kit per side. If the area is popping off under the headlights as well, you will want to order a pair of full latch kits as well, which will be in the link sent when you order. You can even order our fenderwell kit first, then if needed after, order the front latch later.

The goal is to go from the bumper falling off, to this:

The how-to will be updated to reflect the final design as needed, but overall, it is pretty similar to the prototype.

PICS of final product:

 

You aren't even going to tag me as the owner of said gen1? For shame!

Well, you could order one and hoard it. Just in case it is not you.

 

You know who I was referring to @nindoja

 

IN , please add a decal and springs.

 

I am in -- Please add a decal.

 

5 kits remain open for the first batch!

 

I'm in for the win

 

Ok all, good news/ bad news. I was supposed to have the parts on hand by tomorrow. Looks like they swapped the material on me to a thinner one, but they caught it and re-ordered the material to the correct thickness.

Thats the good news. Bad news is that now it wont even ship till Monday, so I expect to have them Wednesday/Thursday of next week. I will have them shipped to Raider by the end of the week to ship out to people.

Sorry for the delays, but hopefully this will be worth it for everyone. Just wanted to keep everyone in the loop to whats going on.

 

Will this work on the 6?

No, but it's not needed. Look for the how-to for MS6 in that section. Just grab a couple latches and bolts right to the car! @Navy_Mech2 wrote the how-to.

Sorry for the delay, everyone. I assure you these will be shipping soon. Once he has it installed and verified, I'll take orders for my bracket kids and info on the latches. Once the hardware reaches me, should be a 24 hour turnaround.

Thank you all for your patience. I'm on vacation this week, so I also have not been active. I did see this today. Was amazing.

 

Oh and only 4 sets unclaimed!

What kinda crap is this... next thing we know gonna be a fortnight.


Jk jk jk

Keep us updated. Thanks again for doing this guys.

 

Y'all slackin. I expected fortnight commentary as soon as Ken told me. Please do not let this setback "divide the community". Know that i have shipping labels, boxes, and shortened posts just waiting to ship out. We are eager to get these out, and then order up more sets to send out.

MSO members get first dibs, so spread word, only 4 left. No $ due until the kits are confirmed to work, and will ship out as soon as i get the materials for all the kits.

This is going to help a lot of people, and for about $75 total. That makes me proud.

 

@Raider Would I need two kits for my 3 if the bumper pulls out on the front and back of each side?

You will need 1 set of RaiderFab/Maisonvi brackets with 2 latches for the back, and then the 2 full latches up front. When you order the latches from Quik Latch, all you need to do is let them know you need 4 total, 2 without their regular pin, and they will set it up.

For everyone planning to order, this is the plan. Once the brackets are confirmed by @Maisonvi, I will PM everyone on the list first with the order information for the brackets and the latches. I will give everyone on the list 7 days maximum to order their brackets. After that, I will post up the information in the thread, and they will be first come, first served.

4 latch kits remain unreserved, so join if you have not, and post up to claim your spot on the first batch.

While everyone waits for the news, please make sure you read my how-to, as this is pretty close to spot on how you will be installing these. It will take a little skill, lots of patience to line the pin and bumper hole up. But if I can do it, so can you.

You can take me off the list. Thanks.

Got ya, @deldran

 

We have a success! Brackets work! Will update the thread and PM those on the list Tuesday morning on how to order.

@Maisonvi is mailing me a lot of the parts so I'll be packaging and shipping out as soon as received and I can prep for shipping. 1 day ideally.

 

Did I already miss the payment period for these @Raider?

 

Nope. I'll be pming everyone on Tuesday.

 

Awesome!
