Now we come to the rear connecting point. I don't see them being a problem because the hooking points for the Engine cover fingers are going to be moved up with the Plume.

It would be interesting for someone that has this installed to do a clearance test with the hood. (not mentioning any names).

So if the guys at Mace can get some more power out of our LLT, us putting a plastic cover over it should not be a major obstacle.

I had to raise my stud even before adding the Iceolator. So after the install I had to raise it to the point that I needed to make a bracket. Someday I may go with something different, but for now this works.

As for the G8 oil extension tube, you will want to get part # 92068813. This is the extension tube and the oil cap combined.

Here are a couple photos of my stud extension bracket, and the oil tube extension.
