    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.

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.
    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.

    I also recommend using the heatshrink clamps. Have them on both of mine, and never had an issue.

    Hey, when you turn your car on, does it return the favor?

    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.

    i thought they were the same size to but the killerglass website says "This kit fits all 3000 GT's from 1995 to 1999 along with it's sister car the Dodge Stealth "
    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.

    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.

    Vacuum reduction, Powdercoated misc, cruise relocate, Evo9 BOV, Custom catch cans, Russell fuel filter, SS braided fuel lines, High flow fuel loop, Autogage fuel gauge, Catless DP, DNP Y-pipe, Fuel pump hotwire.

    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.

    92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD Auto = 10.61@127.8 (1.4 60ft)
    94 3000gt SL 8:1TT 5spd getrag = 11.87@123 (1.8 60ft)
    91 3000gt VR4 13gs = 11.61@115 (1.59 60ft)
