ZL1 Addons Jackpad warning!

[ford20]

Sharad, do you weld them onto the car or no?

 

[Sharad]

Good deal, Can you use these with roush/RTR side splitters? If so are these visible on the car and welded in place? Various pics installed? I only see the close up pic on the site.

I'll have to try a set on my car. I haven't confirmed fitment with the Roush Splitters, but the splitters didn't protrude farther than the factory rocker panels on my 2011.

I'm pretty pissed! The insurance company wanted all available information about ZL1 Addons, it sounds like they are going to be contacting ZL1. I'm sure the insurance company has better lawyers than I do anyway, lol.

Thanks Sharad, once I get the damage squared away or at least get an appointment to have it repaired, I'll likely take you up on your offer.

Offer is open anytime.

Weld in.

I've been thinking about these:

You mean the Steeda knock-offs?

Yet another design copied by UPR!

To be fair I don't think Steeda makes them anymore. Summit as well as other retailers show them as discontinued or not available. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sda-555-5050 The onlyplace I saw that still has them listed with a price is livernois

I had to modify my UPR ones to clear the Roush splitters. I cut off the "ears" so only about a 1/8in stuck out.

The estimate came in at just over $1600. That's a costly $30 jackpad! The body shop is taking the car on June 8th.

 

[05gtowner]

I would take ZL1 mods to small claims court. Not sure how it would work since you may be in a different state than them but I know it can be done.

The red circled part is what i removed.

Oh hey there Gabe. Nice wheels on your gray car! Are they RTRs? No? GTFO here with that hypocritical BS!

Thanks for the clarification.

Says the guy that used to own a set.

Yeah, you'd know all about design copies though, working for that company ...

Sharad, you need to stop taking things so personally dude ... it's just a job ...

How many times are you going to start this pissing match? Whore another thread.

 

[69Mach1-409]

...wow, glad you're ok!

I have a set of them and use them all the time! ...not anymore. Anyone have the link to their exchange page?

Your post had no relevance to the thread. Go fuck off in the corner.

Yeah man, I'd never use them again if I were you. The damned thing was easy to use, very convenient, and worked great...until it nearly killed me and trashed my car without warning.

Not sure if you've ever worked in manufacturing but designs get "borrowed" in almost every industry. Why reinvent the wheel? If you can make a similar product but at lower cost, faster mfg time, make an improvement on it etc, that's business man. Free market economy, as long as you don't infringe on patents or copyrights. I feel bad for some of the little guys that have their designs taken and made at lower cost by larger companies, but it's kind of on them to ensure what is unique about their product is patented or it will get "borrowed" if it's a good idea. Does suck that patent enforcement can be quite expensive though.

Did you weld them in place? If so where on the rail?

I did not weld them. I removed enough of the circled part to clear the splitters. I put them on the rail then jack the car. I bought two of them.

This is some bullshit. Did ZL1 reply to you?

Nope, no response.

Well said.
