Thanks so much! I'm really enjoying them.

After driving around for the last couple of days, the tunnel plate really does cut down on the heat in the center console. Elite's website did some thermocouple tests and noted a drop from 212 degrees to 137 with the 1/4 tunnel plate. I believe it, because it feels much cooler. It also seems to have helped shore up the car some. My top was kind of popping/creaking but it seems to have really helped that, so looks like it has helped with the chasis flex.
