Yep, that is why I make my own plates from billet aluminum. The first car I built, I used some S&P plates, but after I saw how simple they were, I just made my own. I can build a set in about 2 hours and that beats paying close to $100 for a pair and I can make them exactly like I want!

I had considered building my own as well but I was ordering a bunch of stuff from Scoggins dickey so I just had them include their mount plates as well. The trans dapt 1" set back plates are about $40. I think.
