Got her a new plate
I put on the front plate lol, after driving it for 5 mins on the freeway it began to start overheating. I then took the plate bracket and plate off and it was back to normal. Its weird that the bracket caused the wind to go around the top grill. So, I added some more cooling to the front of the car. It really didnt need it with the plate off, but I saw it done on a buddies racecar and loved the look.

Nice work. I'm in the process of changing out my DP and exhaust from 3" to 3.5". I've seen aluminum exhausts before... any disadvantages that you are aware of? Do you think high EGTs will wreak havoc on the down pipe?

Nice. People say a disadvantage is longevity and heat cycles, some say high exhaust temps will melt the system. Ive personally seen many cars around here with aluminum exhausts run on street cars with zero issues. Also, my setup is stainless from the turbo to the passenger foot well where it goes around the motor, then aluminum.
