Default ADS update.

The weight will be reduced by 5 lbs over the previous model. The ADS will be at least as strong however, despite the lower weight. Not that it isn't strong enough as is. This will be accomplished by using tubular steel as opposed to solid stock. Steel is the best way to go, and it will allow me to keep the price reasonable.

The ADS will be poly-coated black or silver.

It will fit both the S4 and the A4. There will be two sets of mounting holes on the ADS to accommodate both vehicles. I expect to have them ready for shipment in around a month. Price will be under 300

Default Whoa!! wait a minute.... you mean it will fit both cars??

I don't get it. Then why doesn't the current S4 version fit the A4?

And I just bought one too. Since there will now be a new version that is 5 pounds lighter yet stronger, I will be returning the one I have still in box. Thanks for the heads up... I could use all the weight savings I can get you know

Default of course I knew you were...

didn't take that poorly at all. C'mon, I'm already on my 3rd drink dude and I haven't even gotten ready to go out yet... It's just that to me a habit is something I do everyday like going for late night drives to do imaginary errands even when every single place of business is closed except for gas stations.

Now KK once a week is a special occasion, not a habit

have a nice weekend.
