You went with the non-race style didn't you! I told you it'd be a waste of money! Now you're gonna have to use both block off plates and look at that ugly stick sticking out of the passenger header. Oh well it'll still work the same.

Let us know how the install goes. Is this going on the TA i assume?

they dont make a race style, i even emailed them about it and they said they wouldnt do it, which doesnt make sense to me, seems like it would be easier and cheaper without the emissions ****.
