I couldn't find a lot of details on one of the battery options I was considering for the mount and decided to pull the trigger and test myself. Got a phone call and an explanation of the best options instead of my original choice and was suggested an even better option than I found in all my research. I cannot recommend this company enough. Very knowledgeable and determined to get the best solution for the customer!
The product is flawless fits well and they went above and beyond to help me get the terminals I needed! Thank you again !!!
I reached out with multiple questions prior to my purchase, and had a quick response. I ordered a battery and mount, and received it within the same week. It stayed in storage for 6 months, and once I was ready to install, I noticed I didn't receive the terminals for the battery. I sent them a message and was given a reply AFTER BUSINESS HOURS. Not only that, they provided a tracking number for battery terminals the next morning, free of charge. Quality products, quality service, and quality communication. Will definitely purchase from MeLe Design in the future.
MeLe provided quick and professional support of their product. Even before I made a purchase.
You can tell immediately out of the box that this mount is crafted with extreme care. The components are sturdy, and bolt together with tight precision.
My entire experience with MeLe from start to finish was great. 10/10 recommend purchasing this kit for your 2013+ Fiesta ST.
If you want to shed some weight off the noise of your Fiesta, this is the way to do it! Build quality on the box is outstanding, perfect fit and feels sturdy. Matched with a Odyssey PC680, (I weighed both setups) it truly drops 16 lb.
There is even a easy to understand YouTube install video from Mele!! Too many products for the fiesta have 0 install instruction, thank you Mele for taking the time to make a install video!
As a note, with the Vibra Technics upper trans mount it is a tight fit to get the lower bracket in, but I promise it fits. Just loosen the plate that the battery mounts to, slide the bracket under the plate, then tighten it back down and continue the install.
