OK everyone, GTMotorsports asked me to send back both sets of humps they shipped me. Both sets were not in "paint ready" condition, were a very tight fit, and I could not roll up my windows while using them. Back they go.

I'm guessing the lesson in all this is you get what you pay for... they were being sold for $345 or something like that and I should have guessed that it was just too cheap compared to all the other places selling aftermarket humps.

However, $350 is about all these humps are worth as they are simply for looks!

Quality never costs more! Sometimes poor quality is very expensive!

Latest in the saga of the GTMotorsports speedster humps...

Rob, the owner, called me just now to say he has sent out new sets of humps to everyone who bought his first batch and they're all happy now. Windows roll up fine now, fitment is far better, and they're not gel coated so they're far smoother than the pairs he sent me earlier.

I agreed to take a third replacement set to see what they look like. I will report back to you and tell you if this new design is better and if it will work for me. Nick, stay tuned... I might not need to buy your factory set after all!

Speedster humps

Even factory humps, if not adjusted and installed properly, will cause a problem with the windows and opening/closing the doors. The mounting hardware on the humps is adjustable and should be adjusted as required for each installation to compensate for alignments of the clamshell to which the speedster humps will be fitted to. A minor missalignment of the clamshell will impact the alignment of the speedster humps. An as a result it will affect the operation of the windows and/or opening/closing of the doors with the windows raised.

Please post some close up pictures so we can all see the fit and finish. I'm interested in buying a set of humps from them too.
