Actually, it is almost identical to the other one from the past. It is just actual white plastic, instead of another color. White is easier to paint over than a lot of colors, so I'm sure that is why they went with that. Personally I have the old design, but I only posted for all those others who were saying they'd pay over 200 or so for one. This was under that, and other than in white, I don't see much difference in the mounting design. The part I don't understand is the $50 for painting it black. That's a bit of a reach in my opinion.

This one seems pretty basic. $190 is a stretch for something you'll have to paint to look great.

You can also put the pony emblem on there and it looks great. Mine came with both in the box, so I had my choice. I went with the flatter style running pony. I put the 4.0 badge on the stainless fuse cover. Tied the whole thing together in my opinion. I hope it works out for you Andrew.

It's pretty bare without the 'vanes' on it. Would defiantly need emblem/decals of your choosing to complete the look, IMO. Yea the price is kind of up-there for what you get, but AFAIK this is the only option for us 4.0 guys I've EVER seen since the Midwest Auto piece, so they could command whatever price they wish. If you really want it, you're going to buy it.
I might spring for one, but am curious to see how it attaches, looks like its just resting on the plenum in the pics.

Alright guys, so I gave the company "CDS Performance" a call and it redirected me immediately to the voicemail of another number. Not good, not good at all. Kinda shady. I emailed the address on their Contact Us page requesting more information. Hopefully, I hear something sooner rather than later. I honestly wouldn't suggest anyone buying one until we can verify the company is legit.
