I was a little disappointed to open the hood on my GT PP and see three pre-drilled holes on the strut brace bar. I know it's not a DH, but they couldn't slap something on there?

I'm taking a chance on ebay and hopefully this will work out. I'll update the post either way when it comes in. For now, the seller is very helpful and responsive to questions/feedback. There's an option to include the VIN, but I really don't want "1FAG..." staring back at me every time I pop the hood, so I deleted that line.

Here's my order ($40) from ebay:

How did you customize it? I can’t seem to see that option.

It's a little unclear because there are no "options" really. What you have to do is complete the purchase, then contact the seller via ebay using their "contact the seller" button on the right side of the screen when the purchase is made. Here's what I emailed the seller via ebay:

1. Engine Horsepower: 486 HP
2. Engine Size: 5.0L
3. VIN (leave this blank)
4. Color Choice for Border and "COYOTE" Text: 990000

The seller contacted me to clarify if I wanted line 3 to say VIN followed by nothing or to delete the entire line. The color choice was made by looking at the pictures in the description. I picked a shade of red that might be close to my exterior color.

The image I shared was a proof emailed to me before production - I wasn't able to make it on my own online.

The fact that it's double-sided tape worries me though.
I agree. I'll drive a few miles and check on it. Some of the stuff I have used from Gorilla is pretty strong and should handle some vibration. Heat will be interesting to see how that hold's up. Might end up becoming a fridge magnet if this doesn't work out.

Ok sweet. I may have overread it but what does it look like as far as assembly? Is it plastic or metal? How does it attach? Length and width? I’d like to order one depending on how it’s made etc

Mine came in a few days ago; the plaque is metal but i too am worried about the adhesive's strength in relation to the heat and vibration. Granted the adhesive does seem strong/quality but at the end of the day it's still adhesive that can hopefully endure the engine bay's conditions. as far as installation goes it was just a matter of peel and stick.

Which blue did you order? And is the adhesive holding up?

I just installed my plate while also installing the oil separators. Seeing as the strut bar already had holes, I added some rivets.
