If forcefed gave it to UPS then UPS is to blame, not forcefed.
It happens, UPS has its F*@&k ups. I havent had a problem but I don't want to jinx myslef.

It looks as UPS has not picked it up from ForceFed yet, altho they received the billing info, and therefore notification to pickup, on the 13th.
Clearly UPS dropped the ball.
And I love it when they do this, cause I don't like UPS.
They could do much, much better getting a customer a package in a timely manner, but they don't if you use ground, because they want you to get fed up and pay for air.

Mine are "In Transit" also, but it's not Force Fed's problem.
Also, I guess he's out of them. I went to order 2 more and the link is gone....dammit!!!!

Mine shipped on the 13th... no info showed up on UPS till yesterday(19th). Looks like Ill get mine today just like the UPS showed. Are you past your expected delivery date yet? Sometime.. actually many times the UPS tracking site is wrong or has no info.

Well, I'm weary about drilling holes into my 25th Anny so I tried fabbing up some brackets to use "stock hole" locations around the shock tower, etc....anyway, I gave up altogether, so I think I'm gonna get rid of my Jamex bar. Do you think its worth drilling "unpure" holes into the car?

Sure it's worth it. You've already modded it so it's not like it's still original or anything...just do it. Swoosh!!
If you don't want it, I'll buy it from you. Lemme know.

Actually I basically ship either overnight, 2nd or 3rd day select. I only shipped ground 3 times, cause the cutomers did not want to pay the extra 5 bucks
But even then they got it in 3 days and no probs. I have seen them take some real funky routes,... but still got there on time. Even if UPS somehow missed the pick up day, why can't the people at ForceFed load them up in a truck and drop them off themselves?... Yeah its a BIG PITA but hell your tring to take care of your customers right?.
Hell I don't know how many times I have forgotten to call and have a truck stop, so I end up making 3 trips to get all the **** to UPS on time in my camaro!
I just really think that ForceFed dropped this one.... Call and ask a truck to stop 2-3 days in advance, then the day before call and make sure its coming. 2 phone calls.

I really don't see just why you are complaining so much. You're getting an STB for $30. You won't find a better price anywhere, so I see it as a favor more than anything. He could have easily charged $50, $60, or $70 for them. At this price, he's practically giving htem away, and I'm thankful for it. Maybe ForceFed screwed up or maybe UPS did (that's my bet), but why not give ForceFed a break and say thanks for offering such a great price on a part that every thirdgen can benefit from. Too many times I see someone helping us out and then get slammed on these boards for little things. People never seem to look at the big picture and nitpick instead.

I know the forcefed it hooking us up, its a great price, and I appreciate his offer. But one thing is paying and getting the product, and another is paying and not getting squat!
Everyone here has paid for thiers and got one, some peopel had to wait 2 and a half weeks before they got theirs, even longer! Just sit tight and wait.

Nope, no more link on his site. I haven't e-mailed him though.

Took me about 2 and a half weeks, but the guy was real nice, and gave me all the info. Turns out that it took UPS a while to pick it up... not ForceFeds fault. He really did us all a favor, and deserves a thanks! (I ordered 3 
)

I got my STB today, looks like ForceFed did a great job with me, only took me 1 1/2 weeks to get it
I put it on and it really makes the body feel like it's 1 part, I still have to spray paint the bases black, here is a pic of it

I bid on and won one of these braces way back when everyone else did and just today got it. But, I contacted Brent several times between then and now and he always got back to me. The problem was with the post office (yes the post office) so we made arrangements to send it via UPS and it got here within a few days. Now, the problems I had with UPS is a total different subject....apparently they can't tell time. Anyway, cudos to Brent and to anyone having problems with Forcefed, all I can say is, have pacients and give him the benefit of the doubt....and keep in contact with him....he'll do you right.
Later ya'll

Finally recieved STB today. I must say, very nice piece for 20.00 plus shipping. Well worth the wait, UPS ground shipping is just not a good way to ship if you want it in a respectable time frame.
BY the way the brackets are Orange, so have your rattle cans handy, if you want it to match your engine bay.

See, Brent at ForceFed does the kind of buisness that us thirdgenners want! He sees that we want a product at a good price, he gets good demand for it, and he builds it for us at a good price. Way to do buisness man! If you ever make any other 3rd gen parts, Ill be interested!

I did mine like that kinda. I also roated the brackets so they were on the front sie of the hump; but still where it is double thick metal.
I had to do this so the bar would not mess with my ram air. It got the bar so it was level with the pleinum. Still it adds alot to the car. I can really feel it in the sharp hard corners. No more of the squish where you kinda pump the wheel. its strong and just turn sharp with normal input into the wheel.
I also got it from force fed and was very happy. I would buy another 1-2 of them. Any place else you could stick one of these to give strength. Maybe under the car inthe front and/or rear. Connect it somewhere helpful.
