Rising Works of Japanskid plates are not motor specific...they bolt to lower core support and steering rack. here is a link for a reputable seller here in the states.

i fixed all the broken links and i figured i would update my progress:

I got rid of the candy green in favor of Tomei blue. I also had intake manifold powdercoated which you can see in 2nd pic. This winter im pulling the motor/ shaving the bay and doing wiretuck finally. ive been talking about it for the past 2 years, but never tackled it.

I had one of my SumoSpeed teammates make me a custom coilpack cover out of 1/8" stainless...it came out great!
