Default CF Cooling plate ?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/07-08...Q5fAccessories

Found this on ebay and was wondering if anyone has bought it.
I know its more for looks but wanted to know what the fitment would be like.

Your thoughts ? /?

Looks identical to the plastic ones we already have. Fitment may be questionable. You can just do the vinyl wrap to get the CF weave look for cheaper and guarantee fitment.

I bet this is actually heavier than the stock ones we have.

Too much CF if you installed it, but not us.

The CF Engine Cover looks very similar to the one that IS300er is selling in the classified section.

As for the "CF Cooling Plate" (strange title for the plastic shields in our engine bay!), it looks like a very nice dress-up piece. I would certainly consider it, especially if I was going to add the CF engine cover.

It's a nice dress-up item, but I'm a little skeptical - not sure if fitment will be alright or not.
If you like it, then go for it!

I like it. Let us know how fitment is if you go through with it. Price is decent too.

Anyone have any idea if these include the mounting pins or do you have to glue those back on as well as the emblem? Looks like a good alternative to the F-Sport Cover
