                To the PM's and E-mails:

                Yes these are different from the ones CARR is selling see the note about powder coating verses self etching paint) the material, process, supplied hardware and finish is different.

                  How exactly is it different, especially if they're all being made by Mr. Mason?

                    John is the fabricator on these. We did the R&D on these together.

                    I fabricated the first pattern prototype and did all the on car prototype testing and the finished brace testing and we worked out the bugs as a team.

                    I have him make them for me to the specifications and out of the material I want in the Zen Braces. I finish them and supply the hardware.

                      Where does it mount exactly on the subframe? Looks to me like its the bolts for the steering rack is this correct?

                      If this is the case don't most aftermarket skid plates also use those bolts as a mounting point?

                      Can this be used in conjunction with a skid plate or is it a one or the other deal?

                        man those steering rack tabs are pretty weak point to be mounting a brace to, if that is the case.

                          So how did Carr get the rights to sell these and what materials are you each using respectively?

                            Looks like either Mr. Mason is moving them to CARR, or someone stole the design. Someone call Mr. Lukas. We can have a battle of the Mr.'s
