Thanks Adrian!
The fake gas cap panel is held on with 2 screws and a bunch of plastic clips, then the hump behind the cap has to be cut out for the new RTR panel to be installed, which is what I did. The RTR comes black, I had it stripped and painted Sterling Gray to match, then had a friend make me the custom decals
As far as Roush VS Whipple, I've driven both and the Roush seems to need to spool up before it delivers the power whereas the Whipple delivers it quicker, pretty much as soon as you put your foot down.
A buddy has an automatic '11 5.0 with a Roush blower on it and he just recently said he wishes he had gone with the Whipple ... after he ran a 10.9 @ 126 mph with his current set-up, lol

I wish it was less money, lol
Otherwise I love it.
I'm not sure what would be different for the auto application, sorry.
The RTR panel was actually one of the easiest mods I've done.
The instructions say to use a 5" hole saw to cut out the hump in the trunk lid.
I found that for $45 and wasn't willing to spend that money on something I'd probably never use again, so I bought some metal snips and was shocked how easy they cut through the thin metal in the trunk lid.
It looks scary as hell, but I kept thinking it's never gonna be seen, so I went on, touched up the cut edge with some touch-up paint I had, cleaned the trunk lid and stuck the new panel on, which is only held on with double-sided tape, pre-applied by RTR.
