Will you be carrying their seats and harness bar? If so can you send me a price? This is on my offseason list along with cooling upgrades. Thanks

Yes sir, they are $5,600 + shipping and install for the C7 hood and ready in stock to be shipped to us. Let me know if I can assist on this!

Yes sir these are available for install here at our facility. If you can, please e-mail me at david@vengeanceracing.net with your inquiry and I can send over a formal estimate for everything.

I saw a roll bar on their web page in yellow. Do you carry that? Do you have installation instructions? How much? How long to get it? Feel free to pm or if it's better if I call let me know. Thanks

When I read "VR is now the sole installer and dealer " tells me this is not a DIY program.
Yes install a hood is easy, but that quote was + ship and install.

Correct this is a “ship your car to Georgia” type of thing. My guess is TIKT knows how BIG the USA is but they just expect people to pay $4000 round trip shipping to vengeance since the parts cost SO much that their target demographic doesn’t care.

Everyone else will get LG, G SPEED, or Katech. TIKT makes the best looking grille, complete with factory looking grille pattern.

They may not know. European countries are much smaller and travel across a country is a lot faster.

Also if the packages can only be installed at Vengeance then prices listed should include install as there is no point really to any other price.

Sorry for the delay in replies here guys! It's been a busy week for us but should be able to reply a bit quicker on here.

Unfortunately we do not have any stock on these parts just yet. We are working on an order to try and hold at least one of each item in the near future, but that is obviously an expensive endeavor that takes some care and attention, as well as challenging with our limited storage space in our current facility.

We do offer this product however we are not currently stocking any of their items at this time. All of the products at this current time are only available with installation services here in our facility. This may change in the future, but at this current time we are only authorized to install, not distribute.

That is correct. At this current time we are only allowed to install the products here and not distribute. This is mainly for quality protection on the items, which is something that Tikt takes very seriously. This may change in the future, but uncertain as to when.

Guys, I am fairly certain that Tikt knows exactly how large the U.S. is in comparison to Europe and aware of the logistics involved. There are multiple reasons why they will only allow us to install the products here in house at this time, and as mentioned above this may change in the future. The main focus is quality control of the products and of the installation, and this has a lot to do with prior experiences on their end which is a story for another time. However, Tikt chose Vengeance Racing to be their sole installer at this time not only because we can offer the same level of service and install quality that they are able to offer in Germany, but also because we do have resources for enclosed vehicle transportation and other logistical tools to help customers land in our facility for the install.

If you would, please e-mail me at david@vengeanceracing.net with your inquiry and I can reply back with an attached detailed estimate for you. Thank you!

You are correct, and we are in the middle of developing our new website which will incorporate this as well. The only struggle with that is in the case where customers want multiple parts installed that overlap with labor, or have other aftermarket parts already installed on the car that effect labor as well. For instance, if someone wants the Tikt front grille installed, but we are already doing a performance package that requires the fascia to be removed then obviously the stand-alone grille install labor will not be applicable.


If anyone is interested in an estimate with installation please e-mail me at david@vengeanceracing.net since I am not on the forums as often as I'd like to be and can provide a quicker reply that way, as well as attach a detailed estimate much easier on an e-mail.

Thank you!

This is a deal breaker for me. I'd like to get the tikt cooling system but I don't need an installer. I own a machine shop and have a car lift and I'm capable of installing anything on my car. Plus your shop is 12hrs 750mi away. No offense your shop has a great reputation, but this is really going to limit sales for you.

Yep, Having to get your car across the country to install a hood or grill is ridiculous and a huge inconvenience, not to mention the added cost.
Their stuff looks awesome but this business model is going to severely limit sales in the US.

Luckily I have great options locally but if I did not the other options out there can be shipped/installed anywhere.

Gentlemen,

While I certainly understand your position, these were policies put in place by Tikt directly that we must adhere to at this time. We will definitely let the community know if/when this changes and we are able to distribute product to the end user directly. We by no means are trying to burden anyone, but unfortunately prior circumstances have led them to making this decision. In the meantime, we are happy to help anyone with quotes on enclosed vehicle transportation services or anything else that we can help with on assisting with installations here in house.

I know. I’m sure most of these comments are sort of back hand complements. Love the parts hate the thought of having to ship the car that far. Killer stuff though!!

Any changes on the "install only" policy? Would be interested in the C6 fog cooler set up if this can just be purchased now.
