Call Michael at Jarco and have him get you a half cut. I got mine from him and couldnt be happier....

Also if your mom is throwin around credit cards, I could really use a new clutch and some new 19" tires

Jarco $1900 for front clip? I'm guessing Auto.That's a good deal. How much is shipping?

$1400 for motorset? Might as well spend the extra $'s for security reason. I'm not bashing Jhot, i'd prefer a clip over a motor that's been just moved around.

I found a front clip for $1600 w/out the side mounts.

where did you get your front clip, i agree, i would also prefer a clip but money is an issue so i was headed the motorset route but if i could get one for $1600 then i would definitely jump on it
