I haven't done it yet, but I got these in the mail over the weekend and I have a buddy that will assist me with installation next Monday! Thank you to @Raceseng for getting these out much faster than I had anticipated and thanks to @FT-86 SpeedFactory for facilitating the order!

found out that i could change my cars setting from unlocking just the drivers door from the drivers door handle to both doors from the drivers side. Now I don't have to be chivalrous to my man anymore.

Might want to rethink blocking some of the air flow going to the radiator unless you never plan on driving her hard..

Doesn't really seem like it blocks much more than it would with the stock plate mount. Is the cooling that inadequate? As far as hard driving, this is my DD so the most I do is get up to freeway speeds quickly As much as I'd like to try it, I don't think I want to start trying to do any kind of track driving until it's paid. Just another year or so...

Wouldn't be too hard to bend up a couple more and move it higher though, just thought it looked less buck-toothed in that position.

Yeah a little. The stock location has the top of the license plate at the top of the plastic bar thing (scientific terminology).

I just read a lot about people having high oil temps and such, primarily FI, but just something to be aware of if you do end up going to the track or see temps rise, that's the first thing that I would change.

Looks good though!

As in, you touch the handle and it unlocks both sides? How did you set it? The guys at the dealer said they couldn't. The only thing they could do for me was setting it to unlock both sides the first time I hit the button on the key fob.

so open the driver side door, then hold down on the lock and panic button on the key fob. wait about 3-5 seconds and you'll hear the car beep and the setting will be changed.

share this with your dealer guys so they'll know the next time a customer comes in with this request.

just look at the radiator, half is hidden behind the bumper/mustache. so what do you think will happen when you block even more air from flowing in
