Well more of an obscene price for what you are getting. To me the price of the hood for a pre-preg carbon hood that was made at motorsports level is within reason. This tow hook is sort of obscene and price and that it is like a solid chunk of stainless steel. It isn't more expensive than the hood just is a bit crazy for a tow hook. ASM actually made like 10 versions of these tow hooks in some crazy Super Duralumin (A7075) that were thousands of dollars for the set.

Toda 60mm to 70mm test pipe + Toda oil pan
Got this to match up to the EVS 70SSP. Nothing at all wrong with the normal 70mm test pipes out there but this type of design with a longer transition from 60 to 70mm makes the most sense to me. When you abruptly change piping diameters it creates turbulence that doesn't need to be there, and easy enough to make a test pipe with a smooth transition. I plan on trying the car out with all the various options I have now with this exhaust. 60mm test pipe, 60mm OEM cat, and 60 to 70mm test pipe and see if I notice any differences in sound.
I have to say this Toda test pipe is extremely well made, even nicer than the J's 60mm, and it comes with a 70mm gasket for the exhaust side.
Also picked up a Toda oil pan. Again nothing wrong with all the great baffled oil pan options out there, just chose this one because it has a sensor hole already so I can get oil temp data in the future. Was planning on just getting the BlackTrax pan but I was able to get the Toda pan for the same price essentially that already included the bung to use for an oil temp sensor. Radiator and oil cooler setup should happen sometime this year so hopefully I will be able to get some coolant and oil temps before switching over to that.
