Looks awesome dude, thanks again for all the help on the mounts, porting, good box mod, etc. I'll have to find a way to repay you that doesn't include boners.

Me too I'm gonna install my touchscreen AFR gauge to keep me occupied until the weekend.

That bar I was talking about is still for sale. You got an amazing deal.
