Yours were sent out today. THey should be there Mon or Tues the most.

Updates:
I currently have 15 sets available, they will be the last 15 sets I will make. I do not plan on making anymore, the lasering part takes too long to do (from creating the wordings to setting up parts to running the laser). So I am gonna do these last 15 sets and be done. I have 2 of the "KOMPRESSORS" sets already made, and 15 plain polished ones. Email me to get your sets.

Once again, thanks everyone. I hope you all like them. Keep posting pics and tell others how easy it is to install them and how well the fitment goes. Thanks guys

here's pics. of mine

the first one is a before shot (which we should all be familiar with) and the next couple are obviously AFTER

edit - hmmm, it's probably not fair that i used a better camera for the 'after' shots, but even these pictures give these things no justice, you really have to see them in person

how do you adjust the door pin height? just screw and unscrew it? so that it's not tight?

Yeah, the top of the Brabus pins are designed to sit flush with the door sill when locked, and since these are thicker than the OEM surrounds, the pins sit below the top of the surround and need to be adjusted to sit correctly. I don't like leaving the pins loose, so I stuffed a bit of cotton inside the pins so that they sit perfectly when screwed on tight. I did the front two this morning and will try to do the rears either tonight or tomorrow.
