Thanks, yeah we make a little bit of everything for these cars.

On the CC-plates, we make all of the UPR cc-plates in house, here in South Florida, and they carry a Lifetime Guarantee. Here are the steel ones I was telling you about. (price does not show the 10% MF.com discount, you need the discount code for that)

The only cc-plates for your car that we carry that aren't made by us are the BBK plates, and they have BBK in the name.

The UPR cc-plates work very well. I've been using them for years.

Its nice to have a representative of companies active on a forum. Thanks for you help and input. Also a big thanks to Jazzer as well. Another question on the plates. Why the difference in material? Why steel on some and aluminum on others? What is the advantage to one over the other?

Thanks man.

As for aluminum vs. steel, I don't think there's much advantage one way or the other. The aluminum cc-plates have thicker plates in order for them to be as strong as the steel plates. We make them in steel AND aluminum. The steel plates are cheaper, but people usually like the looks of the aluminum ones better. Either way is good.

I was wondering that as well. It can't. Be much difference especially with an item that small. As stated the aluminum plates have to be thicker to achive the same strength. For me if durability is the same between the two then steel would be my choice. Save money for other goodies.

I'm quite curious myself. Though it seems that with the aluminum needing to be thicker in order to be as strong that it would move the mount for the struts up, if only 1/4 of an inch. That could create some drop for those seeking just a little more, even if it is a minute amount. For some it might mean a world of difference.
