The gauges are from a company called Black Cat Custom. That is the Vincent Thomas Bridge (San Pedro), in Los Angeles County.

Thanks for the compliment!

Your E is just "stand-out beautiful" 8) I've looked at many of your pictures of your E, and I like everything about it. I'm a 63 year young lady that really enjoys a tastefully modded car, and yours is that. I had a 2005 Magnesium Metallic E, that I really liked. Now I have the 2010 E. I sure would like those leather seats in my E!!!!!! I'm jealous:oops::oops:
Seriously....you're E is beautiful. Thanks for sharing pics of it with us.

Tim...glad to see you back my friend, I figured that you had pretty busy lately. I, of course, have told everybody and their brother, about what an absolutely incredible photographer you are. You just have such a distinctive eye for detail, and an amazing sense of balance of the subject to the environment. Plus you know every cool spot in the entire County of Los Angeles! I am planning to have Burn619 at our next shoot, the two Elements will have an complete black and white, light and dark effect, in color or shot in sepia. It will be great to see you again, and of course, we'll do lunch! ;-)

Yeah, I hear you. Been a very busy summer. I do want to get that Wine thing going! We are heading North in a few weeks for our 29th anniversary. Paso here we come. Temecula is still on my radar though...Cheers.

Thanks Freddie and WELCOME back! Congrats on the new Element! For those of you who don't know about Auto Fashion in San Diego you are truly missing out on one of the tightest aftermarket shops on the planet. If yo are in SoCal, do yourself a favor and drop in and see Freddie, who use to also own an SC. If you're not local, then check them out at www.autofashionusa.com. Freddie and Elroy are some of the key people who helped me put "Darth Raider" together, and we still have a few tricks up our sleeves for the future! Freddie, I can only imagine what your Element will wind up looking like! ;-)

does that cooling plate have the fins on the under side like stock?

if not does it effect your cooling etc?

once again love the E and cant wait for part 3

Thanks again! No it does not have the fins like the stock one. If anything, it has probably allowed for a little extra cooling to get to the engine.

Thank you for the compilment! Here is the place I bought mine from, they have the best selection that I've ever seen, including brushed aluminum, and different shades of carbon fiber. You'll be extremely pleased!
