They have some nice hole plugs at home depot in the hardware section. Looks like a little black button when installed.

So, the empty space below the base sync system was bothering me, so I came up with something to fill it using my 3d printer...

Not sure what I think...
I like it.

If you want to minimizr/eliminate the lines, you can mirror the object in the slicer program, so that the face of the GT is facing the printed. This will squish the extruded lines closer.

If you use cura, I believe it also has an "iron" setting where it will make the extruder iron the top surface really flat, eliminating the lines.

Or, you can print it with 100% infill, then use a very fine sandpaper to sand it smooth. It will make the plastic turn white from the sandpaper scratches (no matter how fine), but then take a pocket butane torch and make quick passes over it, and it will "heal" the surface. Just don't hold the flame and/or make too many passes as the pla/and does not dissipate heat and will curl. If you aren't happy with the heat passes, then let it cool for more than 5 min before you try again.

Installed a GT350 Track Pack rear spoiler, an MP Concepts chin spoiler, MD style rocker winglets (behind front wheels) and Steeda jacking rails. Pics to come.........it's been raining all morning and the car is clean. Supposed to be dry tomorrow.

Have an nGauge in-hand and waiting on the Lund E85 flex tune.

I ant to do this to my 2017 GT also. Care to share the brand, approximate cost, and any problems with the install. Thanks for any help/guidance you can provide. Happy New year!
Yea np Install was easy I took it to a muffler shop to weld it on lol but i did the wiring and mounted the switch. I went with the granatelli brand from jegs. great quality and i love the single switch technology so i dont have to hold cutout switch open just on/off
