Default Custom Data Plate

So I was looking at options for a console data plate which showed my engine specs. I went up to a local jeweler and the little engraving girl made me one up.

I think she did good!

Yeah I had the blank but we were both a little concerned about the plastecized material. I like the look of the anodized aluminum even though it's not quite factory.

It may not be factory but then neither is the motor. Looks like an upgrade to me


Very nice!

Yeah, I like how it turned out. I had 2 of them made. One for a spare. There is nothing other than the body being factory on mine. I bought mine to build to my specs.
