What I can do is exchange my battery for the 16 cell Evo2 HD and have it shipped to you guys directly, then you can ship the battery and tray to me once you're done with it.

We should be able to ship it out the same day or day after after receiving the battery. Just pm me your information and the tracking# once the battery is shipped so we can coordinate to have it test fitted and sent out back to you.

While the countersunk allen head bolts look nice, I am not exactly happy about having to add another tool to my tool bag, just for this one part. A 10mm or 12mm hex head would have been preferable, since those are "must-have" wrench sizes for this car.

. You're going to need more than a 10 and 12mm hex wrench to work on this car.

Oh, I know that, but I carry a "minimal" tool kit with me at all times. Many Japanese car mfgs use only 10, 12, 14, 17, 19 and 21mm for almost every fastener on the entire car, and having to add a tool for one specific aftermarket part is an annoyance. Certainly not the end of the world, but I wish more aftermarket part manufacturers would think of such things.

Usually the cause for the annoyance is when I'm in the middle of working on the car in the garage, and then run across that one non-standard fastener, which means I've got to trudge back into the basement to get the tool just for that one fastener.

I'm not picking on you guys specifically. Ground Control made me add TWO tools to my tool kit, and Borla also made me add one.

First World problems indeed.

Point taken, but when you're trying to make a billet part and want to make it asthetically pleasing and compact as possible, most mfg will use socket head cap screw for fasteners. take for example the camber adjustment on most coil over camber plates. putting in something as small as a 10mm hex head bolt takes up a lot of unnecessary space and not only do you have to make room to clear the hex head itself but you also have to design enough clearance for the hex socket or wrench for that fastener.

That's not to say that we couldn't supply someone with hex cap bolt vs socket head cap screws for all the fastener--it definitely won't look at clean but will still work.
