No affliation, we just put one on one of our Caymans and it's pretty cool.

Local guy, quality looks top notch.

I'm sold, and I don't even own a Cayman!

How much?

How's the heat transfer?

He wants ~$650 for it.

I haven't driven it more than around the lot, so I can't comment on the heat.

That's one of the lamest mods I've seen in a long time.

And @ $1200 you'd have to be a mad man!

Price corrected. It's $650 from Joel, we have it marked at $1200 - I guess for "wiggle" room.

I think it looks pretty great, I like the one with the smoked edges. I do worry that I would have to clean it - but that is just every couple of months....
