To be honest I'm surprised someone just now came out with this product.. it's a pretty obvious concept.
I also believe Ring Brothers is developing a brace also.

personally I think they are unecessary in the first place, even the stock ones. Second it still blows my mind how much money people spend on useless "bling" parts. I felt the same about the hood hinges, but at least those do something. Whats next? billet inner fenders? aluminum is the new chrome

Maybe chrome solid radiator hoses.....


I know for a fact Twist has been working on these for over 6 months, and Steve was talking about them last year at SEMA.

I also know Steve well enough to know he would not copy someone's idea over a $200 or less part.

Sure, I would agree with that, aluminum is the new chrome. It is what it is though, some people want it, some people hate it. No different than any other aftermarket piece really.

Billet inner fenders? No. Carbon fiber.

Billet inner fenders?????
That would be a polishing nightmare. I say lets anodize em first....

No wait, that would defeat the purpose.....

Now, carbon fiber, that might be the ticket, with massaged areas front and rear for the new DSE frame and others......KYLE, WHERE ARE YOU....lol

hey, my rad hoses are stainless, and are functional, self-made, and didn't cost anywhere near $200 so therefore they are usefull bling Kinda like your beer-belly, costs a lot to fill up, but gives you a nice place to rest your next beer on

No, the belly is different, more like a set of headers that hang to low. It drags if you are not careful. Difference is, it has flex built in so you don't bend it up.

Stainless radiator hoses? My kinda bling, no polishing required.

Stevo would not have copied those parts. He has more integrity than that.
