Hey, they only charged me twice the shipping anyone else was asking. Oh yeah, and $53 more for the brace than anyone who order 2 weeks later.

We don't kill guys on freight - UPS charges extra for residential and they charge extra for dementional weight. Even thought the box is light they charge extra because "they claim" it takes up more space in the truck because it is long and skinny vs. perfectly square

I'm sure UPS rides each package on route to it's destination. I haven't had a UPS package delivered YET that hasn't had been dinged/banged a hole or looked like some 300+ pound guy sat on it and ate lunch.
As for the cover, if you need additional clearance (which I did with my strange bar) here's what I posted.
Take the cover, remove the two rubber grommets from the side mounts. Slip the cover on and then put the rubber grommets over top of the side studs and push them down firmly. This will suck the cover right over top of the intake and give near a 1/4" clearance right there. It stays in place and you can stick the wire clips back on those studs and off you go. I think there is some pics on the forums here of my install, I can't recall I'm on so many Mustang Forums, heh.

The shipping was at least double what anyone else was asking.
STILL CONFUSED ?

Also, UPS nows tells me that I need to just hold onto the damaged goods for at least 5 business days. During this period, UPS may schedule a pickup or maybe not. After 5 days, they say I can do what I want with the goods. Steve
Three times so far I've received damaged goods, and in all instances the companies I bought the stuff from immediately sent me new parts... even before I sent the damaged parts back. I'm sure glad I didn't have to deal with you're going through.

I will offer you a $49.00 credit towards more GMS stuff adn I will pay freight this time but not on boxes over 50lbs. We can split that - that is as fair as I can be.

After dropping the daughter off at college this week, I have to rethink my budget before buying anything besides gas for my car.
How long will that offer be good for?

I had the same issue with damage. All I can say is JR and the Granatelli team are #1 in my book for customer service. They take care of the customer. Great job Granatelli and thanks
