flip it, my writing was upside down in the end. i spent a long time trying to force the piece on the wrong side, ended up breaking some of the tabs on the cap and wasted about 45 min.

yup put it in the way that it goes in smoothly. should be upside down print in the front unless it's been changed.

You can modify JDM ones, get the tokicos, or wait to see if skunk 2 comes out with anything like i am.
