nice job..... so do you scrape your front lip more now that its a bit lower?
Not at all, I didn't lower the front lip at all.. it still mounts in the same place just has the center cut out of it. I lowered the front portion of the underbelly pan, and the sheet metal makes up the difference in distance so it reaches the front most portion of the lip.. I should draw a quick section to explain it better.

Looks good. I love people that do their own work on their cars. Some people have so much done to their cars but them they say they had some shop do it. But this is cool. I like it but I agree it needs to be painted.

That helped. You used all capital letters, in my experience only us engineers do that, what do you do for a living?

LOL, its funny because all of us have to go trough drafting courses where they only let you use capital letters. I guess it just sticks with everybody.

No kidding, it used to be much better too.. now I just use CAD all the time so my lettering has gone to crap. As long as I don't have to draw anything with ink on mylar again I will lead a happy life.

Do you have the Fan Mod done. I think that's what keeps my car cool. The fans are allways moving.

Can anyone tell me exactly what the "Fan mod" is? I am just finishing up my fmic install and am planning on running my fans with a toglle switch by grounding out the black wire at the ecu. Is this what everyone refers to as "Fan mod" or is it something else?
