I do not have personal experience. However, those I have spoken with at autocross events this year say they are the hot ticket. Grassroots Motorsports did reviews on them in June and July. Here is a link to their podcast. I am a little concerned that they might overheat when driven hard on a track for a 20 to 30 minute run.

Those do NOT look like spill proof slushy containers...

(Z day 2 or 3 I managed to send my coffee mug flying and disprove it's proclaimed "leakproof"-ness)

Blacked out some more chrome, the rings around the Z, really just the Z and the exhaust tips left.

They aren't, but she's a car girl and very careful about things like that. Now the boy on the other hand...

What did you use to black out the edges of the side markers?
