Posting this as I'm still currently dealing with this.
Rapid Precision Machining and Fab in Pompano Beach, Fl, and its owner, Adam Louramore, try to sell a CNC-made CMCV delete plate for the 4.6L 3V engines. They look almost identical to the Steeda billet plates, with one small exception: they do not fit the OEM gasket.
In speaking with the owner, he stated that he uses a generic bulk string, cuts to a specific length, and superglues the ends together to make a "gasket." I've seen that level of hackery done in an emergency in the back woods - not on a legitimate car, especially one meant for daily driving. CA is not meant for the temps it would see in that spot on a car, nor the vibration.
I received some plates, noticed the gasket issue, returned them to be done with OE gaskets. I never received the items, the owner is silent, and I have no refund. I went out and bought others. Sadly, both eBay and Paypal can't pull their heads out of their butts regarding this, and are find with theft. Seriously. They don't care, as I've been fighting this for months on end. Supposed resolution deadlines come and go.
My point for making this is to *AVOID* this "business" and its owner, who is a thief. Save yourself the headache of losing money for nothing, and the product would require a custom-fit gasket that nobody makes (except with superglue, apparently).
If I see any resolution, I'll update, but this is tedious and I have no future plans to buy anything from eBay or use Paypal/Venmo again. The single time I've needed protection in about twenty years, it's been as useless and incompetent as the plates the thief business owner is trying to hock online. Run. Run fast.
