Nope, I have tried contacting them numerous times with no replies! O'well, back to the "Left over stock!"

However, I have 35 bars for sale if interested (Front lower, Read lower and strong bars)

me personally i wouldn't trust that site.
i ordered a ft.upper tripod brace from very well known landspeed racing september 3,04. and, now both of there phone numbers r no longer in service. so i got screwed out of $210.98. i called them a month after ordering the tripod brace and they told me that they weren't able to get in contact with ken benen montes.
i'm not trying to dog these two businesses.before this i looked up to both of these company's. they've both been in the scene for long time.
i was planning on buying all benen products.but, now i dont know what to think of benen. im just disapointed in the whole thing.
right now im not to happy with them.im out $210.98...
o'well i've learn my lesson. i'll just buy from local shops here close to home.
no business is getting my money unless i got the product in my hands.

I heard they sold all their racecars and started building mini choppers. Anyways, they were suppose to develop a ground kit in conjuction with Monster Cable that I was going to test out on my racecar, but I stopped hearing from them and they stopped making performance products. It was like they disappeared from the face of the planet. Either way, their stuff (or what's left of it) is built and designed fairly well.

Ever heard of doing a chargeback? lol if you paid on a credit card, do a chargeback and since they won't respond, you'll get your money back.
