Re: WTB:JDM ITR Header (blackassasin95)
I got a brand new one and I'll toss in a brand new Fastline Performance Race skid plate, all for $375.
Pic looks just like this (including skidplate):
Hit me in the PMs if interested.

Yeah. $375 is generally what they go for new nowadays (jdmhp, etc). I'm basically throwing in the skidplate for free. You gotta pay shipping obviously.
The Race skidplate is discontinued now BTW. You can't get them anymore.

Well in the 4 years we've been selling them there have been a lot of newer header designs out at affordable prices whos performance exceeds the JDM 4-1 header. Since people are buying less JDM 4-1s for racing, we are selling less skidplates.
It wasn't worth continuing production when there are other products that are in development that we wanted to concentrate on right now.
The clutch lines are the next to be discontinued. At the time we developed them, we were the only manufacturer for USDM Honda/Acura applications. Now there are competitors that are much larger than us making them and it's not worth it to try and compete with them. It's one of the unfortunate problems when big companies put the squeeze on small companies. We don't make millions dollars doing this, but the big companies can because they make and sell 100xs the volume we do, allowing you to buy something retail for less than it costs us to make. So since the small company can't compete with the giant on the same product and survive, they have to constantly come out with new products that no one else has (like our Road Race shifter).

Yes, both of our skidplates are fully compatible with the upper heatshield. We designed it that way on purpose and we recommend the upper shield in conjunction with the skidplate for best performance.
