Does anyone have one? I'm not going to shell out $300 for one, so does anybody have one around here that wouldn't mind be checking out how it mounts/dimensions of it?
It really isn't going to be hard to make one, but I don't want to start from scratch and try to figure it out. Nahh-mean?

might want to also check out the diesel geek site, he had a good one too, maybe you can take from that design, it had less holes too.

I had one. I got rid of it because it wasn't worth it on my car.
1. My car isn't low enough. As much as I love the slammed look, it isn't practical for me for everyday. Besides my car is set up height wise to handle not just be low. My control arms are just above level while the car is sitting so in corners it levels the control arms to about even or just a bit lower.
2. Taking it on and off for every oil change got to be a bit of a pain in the bum. Everyone says it is easy and takes no time at all, but for it not doing anything to protect my car it was a hassle. Plus the bolts were corroding and would be tough as shit to break loose without tearing the threads or stripping the heads of the hardware.
In my opinion, unless your car is slammed and you are not a careful driver, it's not worth it. Money wise or hassle wise, it wasn't for me.
end rant.

Don't be sad, the plate was not worth it for me and I do not mourn its loss.
