I've been checking in with them, they still don't have the price sorted out yet, Justin just posted that the spacers will be available shortly after the FFW event this weekend, so maybe the end of next week or the following week. you can call them and add your name to the growing list of interested people, they said they would call when it was available but I keep checking in once a week anyways. I'm hoping it will be under $120

If that thing is one cent more than $50, they are taking advantage of us. Even at $50, they are making some serious money (or should be). Phenolic is cheap, and is EASY TO MACHINE. And the pattern is right there waiting for you. $120?! Please tell me you are joking.

No flame, but........

I don't know anything about the spacers, but I would think that the grade of the material used would have a lot to do with the price. It might also be "easy" to machine, opposed to say stainless steel, but Iam sure some machine shop still wants to be paid for his/her time.

I would also be interested in one if the price doesn't exceed my drinking money for the week

The price will be $89, and includes (1) Phenolic Spacer, and (2) Phenolic Spacers for the front bolts, and (6) Bolts. They are about a week away, just waiting on the bolts.

$89, I was closer than you. and yeah you would think they would be under 50, I paid 50 for the spacer on my mustang which is alot more complicated pattern and more material, but you have to factor in that these are lightnings and JDM knows that the people will pay more for it. I was saying 120 was my "the hell with you I'll make my own" cutoff price, I guess 90 was what I expected, and atleast its under a 100, I think it's a worth while mod, more so than a $500 throttle body. I called right after Jim posted they would have them, and got my name on "the list" hopefully they wont give em all away to the preferred customers and I can slap one on.

Maybe I missed the post...but can anyone explain the point of the intake spacer? Maybe there's something I'm not catching here.
