No - that's the bomb, baby! Put that on along with vented brake lines for better stopping times, and change your blinker fluid - man you're gunna fly!

It certainly looks high tech to me!
I wonder if you can get them with a CF housing?

Yes, but it appears the LED is on when the unit is OFF,

AND you get a custom 90 degree toggle, where on is up, and off is to the left... :smile:

I wonder what the other toggle switch does. Does it go to eleven, a la Spinal Tap?

Impressive picture

Thanks, but no thanks.

It might be interesting to buy one and take it apart to see it's "inner workings".

I'll save my pennies for race rubber.
