    I do to.
    It looks better than the B&M and with a price differece of only $16, it seems worth it.
    But I was hoping there were members that had installed this kick down on a 350, so I could know what I was getting myself into!

    DOn't know anything about the B & M product. I have the Lokar. I have used a lot of Lokar products and their quality and support is excellent.
