I have one from BulFab, though I like the addition of a jack point on yours!
Are you planning on powder coating it?

Guess I might as well post my vacuum block setup here for reference.
-10 bung welded to manifold
Earl's Prolite hose and fittings
Golden Eagle vacuum block
Stock bov and fpr nipples removed, plugged with 1/16" SS NPT set screws
Stock pcv nipple removed, tapped for 1/8" NPT, used a 90* fitting for easier hose routing towards the passenger side
Boost gauge, brake booster, fpr, bov, and mbc are fed from the block, pcv and map are in the intake manifold (map is where brake booster used to be for quick response).
The block mounting points happened to be the perfect spacing to use the bosses on the manifold that used to hold the support bracket. I put two bolts in those bosses, then drilled/tapped through the middle of the head down the length of the bolt, then the little bolts for the block thread into the big bolts. I did this to clean up and hide some hoses, but more importantly so I could eliminate any T's and so my map sensor could be directly threaded into the intake manifold. As you can see in the pictures above, the whole setup is basically unnoticeable. At the NE DSM meet, only one person actually noticed the line off the intake manifold.
(You can also see my IAT placement for speed density).

I really like how Brian (@turbosax2) did his vacuum block on the Evo 3 manifold:
I have read a handful of reviews about the Carbonetics CSL that whatever resin he may have used made the entire trunk shrink. Since you actually drive yours have you noticed any ill effects? I am looking into getting the same hatch, but will stick with fiberglass. Did you see the Talon/Eclipse hybrid bumper he recently posted on FaceBook?
Thanks for the heads up on BoostedFab! That's a real nice piece for me to spend my tax return on!
