That's at least 5 for a GP, I bet if Elite actually started a GP thread there would be many many more... hint, hint, prayer, prayer...
If prices are good I would definitely be in for a plate and some pucks, maybe other stuff as well. I've been eyeballin' the pedals...

Just shot Elite Engineering an email to see if they would be interesting in a GP sale on this item. I'll keep you posted as soon as I hear from them.

I'm getting ready to cut the exhaust for an x-pipe install. Would it be possible to install the plate at this point or does the whole exhaust need to come off??
Thanks,
John

Hi and thanks for your continued interest,
I'm in the process of reviewing all our costs to see what type of "sale" price we can offer. FedEx just increased all our shipping charges by a minimum of 3% and I trying to determine if we can absorb this.
I'll keep you posted.
Happy Holidays

The cat back would not have to come off but the stock h-pipe would.

GP interest
As you can see, Jeff from Elite Engineering has responded to this GP inquiry. Thank you Jeff!
Can we give a quick number on how many would be interested and whether you would be interested in the 1/4" or the 3/8" plate. Spread the word to others and lets get this GP started before the interest is loss
I'll start with my commitment (providing the GP is a heck of a deal
): 3/8" ceramic plate/non color.

I'd probably be in for the pedals, the pucks (for the third time
) and an annodized plate.

I'd be interested in any GP
3/8th ceramic sounds good, is this the best one, or is the thicker one better???
I know I want ceramic coated.
I already have a heatshield will it fit on top on, or under that??? If so count me in

I was able to slide it up by just removing the two rear support bolts.

There is a thread in the For Sale section. I believe today is the last day for the Group Purchase.
