Billet "problem"?
I never understood the desire to replace existing functional factory bracket and pulleys with this expensive stuff. UNTILL, I held a piece in my hands. I love it! Now I want billet everything.

Using stuff made out of billet is nice. Nothing like making something from a solid piece of steel or aluminum.

If you think those bling bling billet pulleys are lightweight, hold some CD products billet ones w/ the large holes (2000 series), they weigh next to nothing

Making your own billet parts is even better...
I'll be making a bunch of parts now as we have the 2 Axis CNC mill up and running now...
Used it to put the wrench flats on my strut rods...
