That's funny! My Plate is PRIAPSM (if you don't know wiki it) but the reason for my reply, I had a friend get ILV-269 by luck of the draw! How's that for a random plate!

i found it was actually harder on the boot (when removing/disconnecting the wires) with the 'metal heat shield' in place. but then again, how often does one really need to play with his wires.

ps. what gap are you running?
