Looks good. I did mine a long time ago and forget that people still do this. Welcome to the club.

Just received Graffkid732's plug today. I must say that there's much more to the kit than I expected. Comes with the plug, sealant, and even zip ties to tuck away the motor wiring. Instructions are very detailed and the color - KH3 Black for me - looks spot on.

Ill post pics once I get a chance to install. Thanks Mike!

i got the kit and installed yesterday, very impressed with his thinking and how he designed it. not going to give away his method, but one thing i did (since my car is black) is got black silicone and how the plug mounts i stuck the nozzle into the holes and squirted up from the bottom and it filled that entire area and seeped up around the plug so i am pretty confident it is going to be water tight. very impressed with his work.

Crown Bolts 7/8 inch locking plug, you can get the from Home Depot for about 60 cents, you have to dremel some of the bottom off so that it fits... some people are just wrapping teflon tape around it to seal it... i didnt think it was sufficient for me so i siliconed around it. waiting for the paint to dry is what took the longest, other than that a ten minute project

Default Plug for that hole

Tunerzstore.com is starting to carry new stuff I got mine from them. Fits good but only black for now he said. It's an easy screw on from the back that makes a good seal. I used black silicone and wiped off the exess. Definitely water tight. You have to ask him for the delete its not on the site yet. I'll post a pick later.
