*EDIT This actaully applys to Tin not Aluminum, Aluminum is the opposit, and will be coroded by the steel. Theorticaly, a tin modification would cause the steel to rust out. Has been fixed to read correctly


Hey,

Ive been reading through some threads about front and rear air dams, underbody pans ext. Some of you are saying you'd like to make them out of aluminum instead of sheetmatel, but beware, steen is more reactive that aluminum, and by putting a sheet of aluminum ontop of steel it will cause the Aluminum to oxidise at an accelerated rate!

This info came to me from a Science Prof. who was into cars, and use to pop rivit aluminum onto steel for cheap/fast/easy repairs. Within a year the entire area around the aluminum pannel would rust away.

It dosnt make a ton of sence unless you study metal and chemestry for a while, so just be aware. If you still plan to do it, at the very leaving rubberize the metals surfaces before you do.

Good Luck
