THE PRE-ORDER PERIOD IS NOW OPEN FOR 2025.
This pre-order period will run until March 12, 2025. On Mar. 12, I will tally up all of the pre-orders and order enough material to manufacture them. Shortly after that point, I will be able to confirm what the final price will be. It will take probably 8-10 weeks to manufacture the kits after Mar 12th. I've gotten a qoute for the time and material to make just ONE kit. The final cost if only ONE person orders a kit will be $1549 for a Manual kit and $1883 for an automatic kit. The more people we have order kits, the more that price will come down. If everyone that ordered a decal orders an adapter, the price will be under $1200.
