It finally came in after three months of waiting. I had been in contact with Pattie during the whole process. She kept me updated on development so thumbs up to those guys.
They are shipping it out with three U joints for the steering shaft. The slip joint still has not been perfected bug free yet, but they had told me I can upgrade to it when it is ready for production. Overall the rack looks very nice. To me it looks just like a Steeroids system with tie rod ends in lieu of helms. It will be a while till the wheels are rolling so I have no update on functionality, just fit and appearance.
I can take pics with it installed if you guys are interested this evening.

It's the same old design as sterroids, cheap stamped sheetmetal bracket and a grand am rack.
I don't know why it's so hard for these people to make a bracket out of something stronger than 10 gauge.
I used 1/4" plate and still put in two reinforcing ribs....

Please show pics of what you got.
Im on the fence, Steeroids (GP right now) or Rack Attack.
Most interested in your thoughts on the mounting bracket strength and std type tie rod ends vs the heim joint with Steeroids.

That rack is out of a Grand Am? If so, what year?
