i could have. but this is somewhat the same. the only thing pspec has that i dont is that i cant adjust the height of the shifter. but this height works for me. if anything ill cut it down and weld it at work if i want to make it shorter. which i might do, and wont cost me $200. just the $90 i payed for the ss kit.

Honestly I think the P-Spec shifter has a shorter throw, plus the throw itself is adjustable.

But if yours works, why change it?

I wanted those latches but nobody was willing to install for me.

You'll be the first CF hood with pins from my recollection.

I couldn't find a solid place to mount.

Can you please take pics of where your going to mount/drill everything and how you're doing it?

I got those as well, just in black. They're for the track car. They are very nice. I like how you can use them as door handles too.

Yea, Ive seen some racers with fiberglass doors use them, not the locking type obviously.

Boats use them too. I played with them for 30 mins when I got them. Theyre pretty cool.

That sounds odd that they couldn't be buffed out...

Who is buffing them out?

my friend. he tried what he can and got the small one out. we think that the the guy either parked under a tree and those lil tiny green things fell from it and he just didnt care. also have some bird shit on my trunk that wast removed right away and it ate through the clear coat.

my guy detail my car for a few years now and worked magic. but this he said he cant get out unless u went sand and spray it with clear again.
