What about the one that Modshack used?

Racer Parts Wholesale sells it here for $86.95. You will need these adapters to go from -10 AN to the 1/2" these sandwich plates use. If Stillen uses -8AN, there are ORB fittings for that too.

Yeah at this point I am inclined to order a Mocal plate and be done with it. I just need to get off my lazy *** and ask Stillen which AN size I need the fittings to be.

Got the interior part of the M25 Blinder done today. Sorry for the crappy pic, it's dark, I used a flashlight to help illuminate the switch area. Basically I removed the panel that's under the steering wheel (there's one screw near the hood release, then it snaps off, then you undo the hood release wire and various other attached things), and then drilled holes in it (3/4" hole saw for the switch, and roughly around 5/16" for the LED holder). This was really the only easy place to put them, and I kinda like it being out of the way like this anyways:

And here's the front all done up:

When I went back to fine-tune the alignment in the front and tighten the screws, I found it damn near impossible, even with the aforementioned gearwrench, to apply appropriate torque to those screw heads sideways, and also keep the heads aligned perfectly while trying to torque down. I gave up, got them situated correctly with the screws not fully torqued, and superglued the joints into position
