My thoughts exactly. If they had one with the IROC logo, I'd be all over it.

I was going to buy one of those plates, but $40 for a piece of metal sounds a little outrageous! Isn't that $40 US too???

Those are MBA plates, and if their quality is anything like the quality of their shift *****, they're definately worth the money. I've got an MBA shift **** in both of my cars and I have absolutely no complaints.

I had the red Formula one on my '91 Formula. It was way cool.

I totally recommend the plates from MBA (Mallory Billet Aluminum) to you guys. They're top quality.
