I noticed that several members here have installed belly pans made of Coroplast. What puzzles me, is that the only areas that you guys seems to be covering with metal ( or metal tape actually ) are the areas near the muffler.
MetroMPG, how are you handling the heat of the engine and transmission ?
It appears as though some of you guys are so bold as to have the Coroplast sitting flush against the engine.

You have done a really impressive job of smoothing out that underbelly !
Looking forward to the tufting !
