paid for my pipe on feb 15th and they say it shipped as of feb 24th usps priority. tracking number says it hasnt even left yet and they say its been shipped. they said to just wait for it that usps priority takes 7-9 days(bullshit!!!!!!!!!)to get to ak. anyone else deal with these assclowns?
Does Warren (LMI) own killer glass?.
I ordered one about 2 weeks ago I haven't got anything back from them saying it shipped or not.
per tim(the boss), po says they didnt get but he has slip that shows they did so, he's making me another and shipping tommorrow.
you might want to hit up tazman. he seems to be in good contact with them
thx, funny i just bought some wires from tazman. looks like it was lost, or so they say, so im willing to forgive if it gets here in 10 days. i just cant be told to wait without a reason.
Hey, how much did you pay, and is it coming with the radiator hose part already attached? I know the one for the Challenger came all set up and ready to go with clamps and everything, but I had to pay extra for that.
i ordered mine with blue leds and i guess im using regular clamps as oppossed to the heat shrink type. ive got my gal of vinigar to flush my system of the old antifreeze and have the ice blue ready to go. think i paid 250 shipped with the extra leds.
mine took a while to get here. then again, i'm used to waiting on stuff...so it didn't bother me too much. haven't a damn clue how to install it though, so it's going to sit idly in my garage until i get around to finding someone who isn't a smashed-thumb like i am.
Wait, other people have KillerGlass? I've had it on my NA now for going on 3 years now from an old sponsorship. It's a pretty sweet piece of glass. Sucks you having issues with yours. I suggest that you USE the heatshrink clamps. Make absolutely sure you cut the radiator hose right and be sure to heat the clamps so they shrink nice and tight. Mine has never leaked a single drop since I installed it.
I have! Tim and his crew are a great group of folks! I've know Tim since 2006, and he's a stand up guy! I staged my car at their booth at the REMIX car show this past Saturday, at Irwindale.Quote:

The first Killerglass hose for the 3S is on my red car, and I've had it since 2006. I got another hose in March 2007, when I bought my yellow car. If you look on their website, under the 3000GT, there's an old pic of the red car's engine bay from that time. Tim is planning on updating the site with a recent pic of either my red or yellow car.Quote:

to bad they dont make one for a 92 i would buy one :(
i'd swear that it's a universal fit...but i suppose someone with a 1g can chime in here and explain why it might not be. afaik, the rad pipes are identical for all years; so claiming it's year-specific application is....stupid.Quote:

mabey they makes theirs diffrent so it just fits 95-99s????
Well 94 and 95 are the exact same... except in 95 the Spyder was introduced.Quote:

ill put mine up to a first gen that im working on when it arrives and, clear it up once and for all.
just arrived. not like the pics at the site. all i got was a piece of glass, some leds that attach with zipties(weaksauce). and some heat shrink that i wont use because i pull my rad a few times a year.
for those that dont want to be disapointed. buy your own leds they are not professionally installed like the pics at the site, and for 25.00 each you can do way better. better have a spare top hose to chop up cause all you get is a 9 inch L shaped glass tube.
im sure i can make it all work and look good but, they do leave out the fact its a build your own, from items we sell, kinda deal. forgive me but i thought i was getting a completed item with h2o proof mounted leds and generic black hose ends like shown at the site.
The heat shrink is used to attach the two parts of the hose to the glass, NOT to attach the hose to the radiator. Use the heat shrink. It is VERY strong shit.
And yes, you basically build it yourself. It's really straight forward though.
Why would anyone want this? Why would you pay this much? I do not want to knock anyone but I see no reason to buy this except for some bling bling. ANd I can make a lot better use out of 200+ dollars, when it comes to parts for my car(s). Plus it doesnt really look that clean with a piece of glass shoved in between two rubber stock hoses that are cut up. Is there a reason you guys are wanting this? Just to see coolant and have flashy light? Sorry, im not trying to be rude, I would just like the purchasers point of view.
yeah its a rice(y) item but it has its benefits as a window on your coolant's level and, condition(oil, bubble free). thats why i dont feel ricey for having it. i will only put the leds on if i think it helps view the coolant or if i ever show my car again as it looks cool(but spendy). i will work on installing it today or tomorrow and with the ice blue coolant that bmw and race motorcycles use. i think you will see thier clear intercooler pipes on cars soon too, another window on the inside.
Never heard of it before. Looks like some nice rice.
It's more of the bling factor. We went to a car show and saw a Charger have one and though it was pretty neat idea... So we bought one for the Challenger.
I would use the heat shrink clamps, looks much cleaner than metal clamps. I can take a picture of the one we have on the Challenger to give you an idea what it looks like.
if all you wanted was to view the coolant; i'd suggest a white LED, not a colored one.
yes, it's a little pricey; but in all fairness, i just spent a LOT of coin for an awesome plenum too. (many thanks, april!)
the other thing i like about it is that it will match my car at night...(one day...once it's finally painted).
Purple coolant:ohmy:
not quite... ;) i'll be using prestone. don't try and make sense of it. you'll just have to wait for the finished product to understand. :)Quote:

after waiting for another heat shrink clamp to finally get here its fully installed. you have to line up the heat shrink on the hose end perfect with the samco rad hose. its thickness gives you one chance and since mine had to be perfect i had to cut the heatshrink band off(was to tight to remove without heat applied yet) and order another. i used alcohol and a swab to remove the green label off the clamps.

killer glass section with 2 clamps and 2 leds shipped was 249.00
samco rad hose 50.00(set was 100)
blue ice coolant 22.95(1/2 gal)X6= 137.00
seems like a lot of wasted money.. I like the idea of the clear tube, but if Im paying 200.00 for a hose it better at least be the full hose..
where did you buy the coolant from, do they make red stuff too.
killer glass sells a bunch of colors of fluid..
did you call them to get it.Quote:

Found it thank you I'm waiting on my samco hoses to come in. could you just flush it and run the red stuffQuote:

i bought the blue coolant at a motorcycle shop, after i had the first 1.5 gal shipped. i forgot to calculate the increased size in my aftermarket rad. if you change your coolants color you have to flush and drain the system(block, heads, rad,and overflow) completey wich was the hardest part.
looks=A+
costs=D
pita factor=5
bah....
i'll stick with prestone. easy.
