Thumbs up

Nice stance.

Hey, i've seen a lot of other subies with the plate holder on there ride, but can never get an answer as to where they got them. Mine me asking where you got yours and how much? Looks good and i hear its easy to install.

BTW love the rear diffuser, looks stealthy.

Not to mention the wheels weigh 21lbs and the tires 22lbs... which just may set a record for the most rotaional mass on a Suby ~ 43 f'n lbs per corner.

I just finished putting 17" wheels and tires on my Roo to a tune of 34.5 lbs per corner! It feels like I just found 10 more HP!
