Default BT Technologies/LAPD Chassis Plate 'test'

I just installed the LAPD tunnel plate (Easy installation... ) on my Z06 this past weekend and drove the car on a 'test' trip to San Francisco from Sacramento.
The biggest difference I noticed was the cooler temperature of my loose change I keep in the factory cup holder. Normally my quarters, nickles and dimes (Plus a penny or two...) become roasting hot in the cup holder after some extended driving. With the coated plate installed, my coinage never got past warm...I'm guessing around 30 to 40 degrees cooler, give or take...
As far as chassis stiffness goes, backing out of my girlfriend's steep driveway at an angle (I think there's a joke in there somewhere...) is less of a 'scraping' issue then before.
After a few hours behind the wheel, the car has a more solid feel to it. I'm satisfied with the fit, finish, and performance of the plate...
