Sorry, but I am calling BS on this comment because it could affect someone's decision to objectively evaluate Hurricane. The term "Dark Side" was coined by a few folks during the 2008-2009 "White-era" when Hurricane Part Deux went into receivership as a result of SEC fraud having nothing to do with the product. People were pissed at the Whites as new owners for not helping them with their builds, so there was some b*&^%g and moaning on the forum, as would be expected (BUT NOT NOT ABOUT THE PRODUCT). The new owners of Hurricane Motorsports have chosen to keep the owner's side of the forum closed but it not for the reason you mention. It is because we don't want all the mindless chatter and non-related commentary screwing up our build-related threads. There is nothing hidden about the product or any shameful ghosts in the closet. I am sure when you are ready to lay your money down Steve will grant you access ahead of time so you can see for yourself. I am including a screenshot below of the current threads on the "Dark Side." You're not missing anything.
With regard to the original poster, you should consider a Hurricane and
see this thread. Its very original, people answer teh phone will you call, do what they say and and your body prep time will be significantly reduced over other kits, period.
