I too was very intrigued by Toby's new shock tower strut brace! I had to change my fuel pump out while on the way to the show and if I had had this brace installed, the process would have been quicker as I wouldn't have had to remove my current brace!
The only question I had was if there was a way that during installation, you can laterally preload the bar so that you know that it is always in tension. At first glance, I wasn't sure if it was possible. I discussed it briefly with Misty but I was having difficult explaining my question to her so she referred me to Toby on the technical. Unfortunately he was unavailable at the time. I'd loved to hear about it further. I have the original shock tower strut brace on my car currently and I like that once you bolt it in place, you can preload the bar laterally and then tighten the jam nuts on the swivel joints. This way, at any amount travel of the shock tower, you know the bar is always in tension and is distributing the load.
I really like how the new design is low profile, fits under the carpet, and works around the spare tire compartment, I just want to know more about it technically before considering purchasing it. Maybe Toby will pop his head into this thread to discuss it more!

Anyone have photos of some of these new products? The strut bar and steering wheel pad sound particularly interesting. I'm also curious to know wha t the repro tail light boards look like.

Sorry, no pictures (I'm sure they are out there but I didn't think to take one) but you'll like the price. With conventional bulbs the price is $85/pair with bulbs. LEDs were quite a bit more but this is much lower than they used to be.Originally Posted by Mark D

Here are the center wheel pad prototype and the LCAs. As Dave said, they will come with the ball joints installed. These were the display pieces.

Personally, I wished they wouldn't put DMC on *everything*, how many logo's do you really need in your car? I *know* it is a DeLorean.

Is that one of the MOMO DMC wheels in the background of that picture? I thought those were out of stock everywhere?

Not the real Momo, it's the knockoff. But we have a few of them available. And plenty of the adapters.
