Ready to race!

All right everybody, The Spring 2015 edition of the UNIbrace Group Buy is finally in effect!!. You’ve PM’ed and emailed me so here it is!
Me
Bruce Levin, the brains behind the UNIbrace line of products. I am first and foremost, an avid VW enthusiast, architect, and designer of all that are UNIbrace. I do my best to be a very friendly and helpful guy and will be in and out of the thread (username GTItraveler), to answer any technical questions you might have regarding fitment, design, and use.
The Products — Please note these product listings are for Mk4 – Mk7.
Mk7 are marked by*
UNIbrace XBQ* – is mounted in the rear hatch of the vehicle, flush against the back of the rear seats, and can be easily and quickly removed/replaced if need be, when loading/carrying LARGE, oversized objects…Four bolts, an allen key, and appx 3-5 minutes of your time is all it takes.
-Fits MkVII VW Golf platforms. May fit Jetta, but I need someone to verify a couple dimensions.
-Strong 5052 aluminum with high temperature automotive powdercoating
-Low weight: 6.125lbs (~2.78 kg)
UNIbrace XB - is mounted in the rear hatch of the vehicle, flush against the back of the rear seats, and can be easily and quickly removed/replaced if need be, when loading/carrying LARGE, oversized objects…Four bolts, an allen key, and appx 3-5 minutes of your time is all it takes.
-Fits MkIV, MkV, and MkVI VW Golf platforms: Golf, GTI, .:R32, Golf R.
-Jetta/Bora applications (by special order) Prices are $25.00 higher than the standard prices depending on your locations.
-Super strong 6061-T heat-treated aluminum with high temperature automotive powdercoating
-Low weight: 6lbs (~2.7 kg)
-Retains both rear seat and hatch use
-Installs in about 1- 1/2 hours — removes in minutes via four stainless steel socket head fasteners.
UNIbrace UBQ* – is mounted to the undercarriage of the vehicle, replacing the inadequate stock cross braces across the exhaust tunnel. Overall ground clearance is affected ~1" for you stanced out fools.
Compatibility:
MkVII VW Golf, GTI, Golf R, Jetta/Bora, Variant platforms
-Constructed from super strong waterjet cut, CNC bent .25″ (7mm) 6061 heat treated aluminum with high temperature automotive powdercoat finish.

-Compliments the UNIbrace XBQ for the ultimate chassis stiffening solution for MkVII platforms.
UNIbrace UB - is mounted to the undercarriage of the vehicle, replacing the inadequate stock cross braces across the exhaust tunnel. Overall ground clearance is affected ~1" for you stanced out fools. For those of you running aftermarket exhausts, please see the Spacer/Deep nut kit below.
-Fits MkV and MkVI VW Golf, GTI, .:R32, Golf R, Jetta/Bora, Variant, Audi A3/S3 (3/5 door model), Seat Leon Cupra, and Skoda Octavia RS platforms
-Constructed from Super strong waterjet cut, CNC bent .25" (7mm) 6061 heat treated aluminum with high temperature automotive powdercoat finish
-7lb (~ 3Kg)

Other invaluable UNIbrace accessories are:
M8 HD nutsert tool - Basically a must-have tool for installation of the UNIbrace XB. Unless you are an absolute ‘tooling’ wizard, trust me, you will want to add this handy piece to your order when purchasing the XB.
Spacer/Deep nut kit - Increases exhaust clearance of the UNIbrace UB when running an aftermarket downpipe with a resonator measuring more than 4.0" Ø in the midpipe area. Can also be a good idea to add to your order if you are ordering a UB now, and have plans to add an aftermarket downpipe/resonator in the future.
The Process.
*PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING VERY CAREFULLY*
The group buy will begin processing and shipping once we have reached 30 units. This is NOT an interest thread, so please, only sign up if you are fully committed and ready to forward your payment as soon as it is requested.
Yes, for those of you who are already wondering, if somebody orders multiple braces, each brace ordered will count towards that 35 unit minimum, and no, nutsert tools and spacer kits do not count.
The buy will not close at 30 units, but we will not start requesting payments, until we have reached the 30 unit mark, nor shipping orders, until we have 35 units paid for. Spread the word on your local forums, at your local gtg's, and anywhere else you think might get us to our goals sooner rather than later.
This time around, I will be keeping the only official group buy list here on the first page of the thread. It should make things a bit easier to keep track of, but...
