Default 2.5 BAR MAP Sensor Adapter, Great Idea!?

While trying to list some stuff on ebay I started browsing around and found this. Actually looks nice and like a good idea. Just wondering if anyone else is in the process of making something like this?

Description
CNC Machined from Aluminum. This adapter will allow you to bolt the 2.5 MAP Sensor on your stock location in the throttle body.
Just simply remove the stock map sensor, bolt this adapter and the MAP sensor will bolt to this.
The benefits of this adapter are:
-provides the MAP sensor a very secured mounting location on the engine bay.
-avoids the MAP sensor to be pulled by hanging wires
-reduces vibrations to the map sensor wich can cause failure of the device
-provides the MAP sensor with a faster response and reading to the manifold's vacumm/pressure readings, as Honda designed it
-eliminates the need for T's and vacumm hoses on the engine bay
-gives a nice bling look to the engine bay

LOL, "gives a nice bling look to the engine bay".

Yeah the price sux, 35 for a piece of aluminum and Ild end up painting it black so ---- the polishing BS. I thinks it a good idea though. Just waiting for Craig to star making sumtin like this. His new vac manifolds seem pretty kosher and I could make one myself w/ Homedepot parts but.... well you see were im going. Bottom line is you could always argue against spending on something that you can due at home w/ spare time and ---- in the garage for free but damn, I just like it. I still plan on going the MADMAX route but I just had to post this up.

I would gladly pay 30-40 bucks for one of those.

Mario (TurboEG) says his works great + 2.5 motorola map sensor

looks like a good solution, wish there was a non-bling cheap/easy HMT way to make adapters and sell them

Also remember those don't come with the sensor either.

I was just referring to the fact that I think they're a tad bit pricey...

A cheaper solution would rock.
