if I'm not mistaken, crispy installed this a year or 2 back, and she was very happy with it.

so tronic, do we have a choice of colors? because I gotta say red would be a no-go for me.

[tr0nic]

As of right now, there is no color choice but red. It is very easy to scuff and paint if you so-choose...

Crispy did have this installed and she loved it... at least that is what i'm getting from Sami, he has been in touch with her recently.

[BasSpyder]

where would these mound to? the only place i can think of is where the seatbelt sits on that bar...

[tr0nic]

Basically you can put the bar in wherever you want... but the best place is right by that bar, with the curve in the bar going over the curve/contour of the floor behind the console.

[BigBalledOX]

STOP MAKING ME WANT TO SPEND MONEY TIM! :rofl:

[tr0nic]

Hey... I just offer good deals on good products. Plus, these aren't that expensive.

[BasSpyder]

no they arent. i may be one up soon...hmm, does crispy have pics of her installed?

[tr0nic]

I wasn't able to find any pictures... i've seen them, so I know they exist. Anyone have these pictures?

[bensenvill]

I wasn't able to find any pictures... i've seen them, so I know they exist. Anyone have these pictures?


lol, I doubt you are going to find any... we had a discussion about this a long time ago. alot of people said they were going to do this, and everyone fell through. I saw the bar hanging around in crispy's house a few months later. she said she had it installed in the car [but it couldnt have been installed long], but I havent heard or seen of it since.

[bensenvill]

As of right now, there is no color choice but red. It is very easy to scuff and paint if you so-choose...

IF! these are availible in black, I will buy one no questions asked, but I am too lazy at this point to paint anything.

[PREDATOR]

Interested, but I have spent way to much money on my car in the past week :evil: my wifes going to KILL me! :banghead:

[02AlaskanCougar]

I would definetly want one at the $80.00 rate!!! Payment could be made in July I can't afford to dump it onto my credit card this month... I also need a shipping quote to AK, I hope its not rediculously expensive.

[tr0nic]

Just PM me your address and i'll be able to give you an idea of what it will run.

[tr0nic]

Bump!

[scrupul0us]

Yea if I can get this is a battered wife color scheme (black or blue) I'd buy one as well.. then make you install it :)

[fordrule]

could u attach racing harness to this?

[bensenvill]

could u attach racing harness to this?

umm you could but it would defeat the purpose of wearing a seatbelt because that bar is not meant for that.

[Rara]

could u attach racing harness to this?

This would be very dangerous in any sort of crash.

[tr0nic]

Yeah I couldn't suggest using a floorbar as a harness bar.

[DEVIOUSDEV]

If I were to, I dunno, pay today (novel concept for NECO, I know ;) ), when would it ship?

I wouldn't want to have to wait for a bunch of other people, especially since I need to take a bunch of stuff to the Powdercoater ASAP.

[tr0nic]

I would process the payment today, and it would ship by Monday or Tuesday (warehouse is a little backed up... i'm swamping them with orders).

[aircougar1]

I have a similar floor bar in my Cougar (well, its going back in there when I done what I'm doing), but it was great, and very happy with it...
And no...it is NOT RECOMMENDED to attach harnesses to this bar...in an accident, the pressure from the harness straps pulling down on your collar bones due to that type of mounting point, would snap the collar bones and possibly do other body damage as well...plus the way the bar mounts to the floor pan at the lower seat belt bar, it would allow the floor bar to rotate upwards, if harnesses were attached, during an accident and would not stop you from hitting the steering wheel/windshield/dash board...

my 2 cents!

[JAMallott]

I'm VERY interested. In seeing this I decided to sell my ST200 RSTB to get money just for this (and a Jaged RSTB :) ). Once I sell the RSTB, I will be ready to paypal money.

[JAMallott]

Does it come with all the mounting hardware and any sort of instructoins? (as if anyone would actually read them....but just incase lol)

[tr0nic]

Yes, it comes with everything you need to install it.

[tr0nic]

I am getting same day shipping on these floor bars. Get them and have them installed before fest! I can also deliver to fest.

[creativecougar]

How does it attach? Do you accept Money Orders? Total price shipped to 46721? PM me. Thanks.

[tr0nic]

Total price shipped to any of the 48 contingent states is $80.

It attaches with your standard bolts, and I also believe it can be attached using the stock mounting location of the seatbelt bracket.

Yes, I do accept money orders. PM me and i'll give you the address.

[creativecougar]

Pm'd

[JAMallott]

Will you be at fest to deliver if we want to save on the shipping costs? Just an idea :)

[tr0nic]

It won't save on shipping, because I am doing a wholesale deal and buy in bulk. However, I definitely can deliver to fest!

[tr0nic]

Anyone else? I've processed 4 orders so far, they will have their packages early next week! I've got over 300 left in stock in the warehouse!

[Smitty2430]

Are you bringing any parts to Fest to sell?

[tr0nic]

Excelcier headlight flashers, maybe a couple bars, maybe some hid's... depends on how certain things play out in the next week or so.

[Smitty2430]

Sounds good. I know Im bringing extra cash just in case people are selling parts.

[tr0nic]

I'll definitely be selling stuff, just not sure exactly how much of what yet.

[nadthomas]

One more sold as quick as I can type my paypal login. Awesome deal.

[tr0nic]

Processed, will ship out tomorrow morning (I think). I'll update you when I know.

[tr0nic]

Should ship out today!

Anyone else care to jump on this deal?

[MobilBoy]

Mmm... me likey! When's the next time you're gonna be out my way Tim?

[Yofavcracka]

ok im still confused about what this will look like in the cougar?

[Yofavcracka]

alright, i saw a pic...how much for shipping to 92065?

[BigBalledOX]

Shipping is included.

[Yofavcracka]

i just found the same bar at http://www.autoaccessorystore.com/home_n.asp?dir=detail&id=2233
Price: $69.00

Shipping & Handling: $15
Is yours made for the cougar instead of having it be universal?

[tr0nic]

Ours is the exact same one, however it is universal. Buy from me and save $5 with free shipping!

[Yofavcracka]

alright man, count me in, paypal right? i gotta get my dads credit card number later today but count me in for one.

[tr0nic]

Yep, paypal/check/MO/cash

Paypal to: admin@xcessiveperformance.net

[tr0nic]

Hey Bbox - when you gonna pick up one of these bars? I know you need one with all that power you hold around those turns!

[Yofavcracka]

can you show me a how-to or instructions, cuz i was just lookin at my cougar and i dunno how itll fit? will i not be able to slide my seats all the way back?

[Monkeygrits]

wheres the pics of it installed? Im dumb

[tr0nic]

No pics until someone actually installs it. It is very straight forward, and bolts behind the seats. It is fully adjustable so that you can mount it however/wherever you'd like in the rear footwell area.

[creativecougar]

I like these and I would buy one, but it would make the functionality of sitting in the rear seats obsolete. You wouldn't be able to put your feet on the floor. Unfortunately, my buddies and I cram into my car quite often and this wouldn't go over well...That's the only reason I'm not getting one. Good buy though!

[soldier989]

^^^

I feel the same way, or else I would be all over it :-(

[tr0nic]

The bar sits almost flush with the floor and follows the contour of the floor. You'd only have a small bar to put your feet over (and if installed back far enough, it would not be in the way at all). So, don't hesitate to pick it up... as it won't impede in your passenger's comfort.

[soldier989]

When someone gets it done, Id like to see a pic, it would help me decide.

I just cant imagine the car having that much flex right next to the floor. I have the Jaged Rear bar installed, wouldnt that take care of any flex the floor would be expiriencing?

These floor bars do virtually nothing for body stiffness, any claims to that effect are totally bunk by the manufacturer. Anyone with some engineering background, or knowledge of unibody structure could tell you that. A Cougar would benefit far more stiffness-wise from a proper rear strut bar.

If you like this bar, get it because it looks cool, not because it will turn your cougar into a race car. Just like drilled rotors.

[tr0nic]

Rara, please respond to my PM.

[tr0nic]

Also, please follow forum guidelines and rules.

DO NOT:

• Post in any thread for which you have no intentions of buying the item(s).

[creativecougar]

I looked where this bar would mount up to and there are no pre-existing holes or anything....so I would have to install this with self-tapping screws or something, right?

And as for Rara, if you have a rear strut bar...i'm not sure of one of these floor bars would be needed at all, like you said. But the point is, for $80 you can't go wrong! I would be buying this just for looks anyway. I think it is worth it, and plus it matches my color scheme and I don't have a rear strut bar. So whether it improves performance or not, I think it is a great buy if you like the way it looks. And yes, please don't post comments like that on the threads...keep it to pm's.

[XplosivePlushToy]

I'll be picking one of these up in the near future, definitely. I just have a lot on my plate right now. First and foremost is the JRAK RSB and the Roush bar, followed by this.

Back seat functionality is not a problem because in about a week I wont have a back seat :biggrin:

[Rara]

I think it is worth it, and plus it matches my color scheme and I don't have a rear strut bar. So whether it improves performance or not, I think it is a great buy if you like the way it looks.


This is the key. If you like the way it looks, and it fits the style of your car, go for it.

[creativecougar]

:crazy: Why the he!! else would you be looking at this!? If you don't have a rear strut bar, then this will definately help...PLUS it'll look good. If you are not gonna buy this bar, then :gtfo:

[GI8U2racing]

Well as a performance driver I'd like to know whether it makes a difference, I'm glad someone stepped up and was honest. For aesthetics, that's one thing, but saying it will improve handling 15%...that's a lie. I have never heard of this type of reinforcement, and to compare it to a RSTB is quite a stretch as well. Was I interested? Yes, I want my car to be the best it can be. I'm just saying, aesthetically it would be a great addition, but as an item to provide that much handling increase...:rolleyes:

[creativecougar]

And I never said anything about improving handling by 15%...because I have no idea about that factor. That comment is all tr0nic's. I was just trying to help and I just said it would look good and it would help. (It can't hurt).

[Yofavcracka]

I need to see someone that has one finished and installed correctly, then ill get one, im still confused about where the "perfect" location for it is.

[creativecougar]

I just sent out payment, and hopefully I will get quick shipping. I will post pictures as soon as I get this and get it installed. I may get the pics up this week.

[creativecougar]

I sent a little extra money for quicker shipping and I'm gonna install this as soon as I get it guys...so I will try to get pics up this week. (I'm going to guess Thursday or Friday) Your welcome!!

Thanks again tr0nic! You're a good guy to deal with. I'll leave a good feedback for ya when I put pics up.

[Jenz34]

Are these bars still for sale

[tr0nic]

Sure are!

[rufus]

ill be buying one after i get a couple other things done too, i still waqnt to get springs, struts and rsb

[creativecougar]

still haven't recieved my floor bar....:(.....hopefully it'll be here tomorrow

[nadthomas]

ummm....anyone get theirs yet. Where are these things coming from china?

[creativecougar]

No sh!t...I even paid extra to get mine shipped quicker....sigh...(I hate to say it cuz he seems so damn nice)but...any chance tr0nic is ripping us off?

[blackcougrr]

Ive been waiting for 4 weeks now for some stuff I ordered from Tr0nic. He keeps telling me they are on the way but I was feeling the same way as you creativecougar

[tr0nic]

Creativecougar - yours was shipped last week. Like I said in the PM to you - everyone gets their parts. The warehouse is highly overworked with orders to fill from us right now... so they are backed up and running out of stock very quickly.

[nadthomas]

Should ship out today!

Anyone else care to jump on this deal?

If mine shipped out on the 17th like you said it did then we need to finding out who lost it. Do you have a tracking number.

Thanks,
Dan

[creativecougar]

Oh...okay. I guess I'll just keep watchin for it...
