Now looking forward to the next track day to test the coolant temps!



Nice. How much is cheap, or is it relative?

Can you get pulled over because your plate isn't visible? Cops around here don't seem to care much about missing front plates but a missing rear would definitely get their attention.

Probably. 1Up has an adapter so you can mount the plate to the rack.

Where did you get these? I have the aluminum shift button and e-brake handle. Would compliment those well.

Are these them by chance?

I got mine from DIDO as well. Great communication and a good seller. They look great once installed.
