I'd be in on a group buy, my stock one could use some replacing, although shipping to NJ might be a little tough

yeah, not so bad, if enough people want one in the northeast, I would comtemplate driving down there in the 250 to pick them up, and we could go from there, shipping may be a little pricey, but if everyone was close enough, you could pick them up from here in NJ, just a thought.

'Need' and 'can afford' aren't necessarily in the same category.

When I got mine (10/2005) Bud shipped it to Seattle for $38 via FedEx ground. When he ships, he doesn't put the plate in a box.. the address sticker is on one side, and a piece of cardboard is wrapped around the back.

Remember, this is an unfinished piece of steel that's there to be scratched up. Don't waste trees by trying to protect it.

thanks mark, i'm not retarded, i allready found that site and i allready saw the one pic i could find on that of a IFS installed setup, i was hoping that maybe someone had a couple more pictures... If there are members looking for others to help in a group buy, i would trust they have found a good product, but would like to see what i am dishing out 400-500 for...

i guess I'll just wait until a have a clearer idea of prices and what is out there

Ahh.. sorry 'bout that! I can shoot pics of mine, but it's not installed yet.


One thing to point out is that Bud doesn't drill a hole for oil filter access - so figure on spending some quality time with a hole saw. This is a "feature" since he can't predict that you won't mind dropping a 50lb piece of steel to do an oil change or that you may have a filter relocation kit.

Oh, something else... if by chance you're running headers, and your (new) crossover pipe is routed under versus over, then the plate will have to be tweaked. That lip in the back comes up too tight to clear a low mounted crossover - this is actually why mine is still sitting in the garage.

Tweaking is easy... I just need to do it.
