Sorry, I don't have a picture yet. I will post one of the “red” Jacking Pads as soon as I get one.

Here is a picture of our aluminum tunnel plate anodized in the same color red. It really looks terrific up close.

Thanks, Jeff

Obviously by the responses here, there certainly is a market for the pads that will work with the A&A rails... Glad your jumping on that.

I see from your website that you're also planning to release a Polished Stainless Steel Exhaust Plate with Logo. Here's another suggestion for which I think there'd be a good market that is as of yet untapped. Noone makes a plate that fits WELL with the 2-tip Borlas. I'd love to see a plate that FILLS the gap between the two tips. I like the look of the lower rolled edge, so think about incorporating that. Also, I think brushed stainless with a chrome C5 logo would look AWESOME! OR polished stainless with an acid-etched C5 logo... I've got LOTS more ideas when you finish with those...

My jacking pucks are not hockey pucks, they are made from 1.5 diameter solid bar by 2 inches high with an eye bolt welded to them.

Since

I would never treat a hockey puck that way and either should you. Since you are also a Canadian I may report you to PETHP - People for the Ethical Treatment of Hockey Pucks

Thanks to the forum's support, we have received a lot of good feedback.

I have already started shipping some orders. However, all orders that are received by this Friday, will ship no later than Wednesday of next week.

I got my red pads on Sunday and put them to use. Took off my wheels to clean and polish the wheel barrels. They work and look great.

Those look great. If I didn't already have a set of jacking pucks, these would be on my list of things to buy.

Yep, they seem to be 1/2 the price of other offerings. Looks like Elite did away with Corvette Tax on these; the price looks to ba an extremely fair one, waiting on mine.
