They shaved off so much weight that there is no need for aluminum screws and titanium turnbuckles!

"What you see in the pictures is what you see."

How profound. :roll:

"Great example of the old style of drilling your chassis to drop some weight."

Great example of salesmanship B.S. with a pitch like that, making a turd sound like something I need.
