Besides, face up — nobody could see it.
I've been trying to source some highway signs to work with but I haven't found a source yet.

There will be only one cut to make two pieces fer the rear belly pan (just before the rear axle) and the rear diffuser. Both will be reinforced with aluminum angles and slotted angles. It will be pretty much a straight replacement fer the initial Coroplast setup that I originally started out with.
