I'm sorry, man, but I just gotta say that build quality looks absolutely horrible. It looks like they might have spent 10 cents at the most to make that. If I were you, I'd want my money back and look for other alternatives


Just my two cents, I know it wasn't asked for...

Is there a way to modify the stock runners to get the same outcome as a HV3?

TJ'sblackbonne 11-28-2007 06:48 PM

Mines looks nothing like that Don. Not even red lol. I will take some pics later, but it doesnt look like that.

firebuick 11-28-2007 07:04 PM

how tall are the runners? I want to try making one.

roadtech195 11-29-2007 01:48 AM

They look to be about an inch. I thinking of making runners out of 1/4 in. aluminum stock and about 1.5 inches tall the welding an aluminum plate to the tops of the runners to hold them in place. pretty much like an aluminum HV3. Of course I would do some research to find the optimal length for the runners just using 1.5 as a ball park figure.

firebuick 11-29-2007 05:12 PM

well i got a very bad reply from zzperformance they say they lost money on this sales they will replace it if a pay to send it back to them i think this is bad for bussiness to sell bad quality and not give sastisfaction to there customer
