Installation of the rear pan is done. I think it turned out okay, but the proof will be how it performs. The main panels fit together as expected, but I am not entirely happy with the small center panel that covers the exhaust pipe. It had to make a compound curve and my metal forming skills are not that great.
Here is what I had left to cover.

This is the finished product. I attempted to cover part of the rear control arms with some latex sheet and Gorilla tape. It looks ugly but it's out of sight. time will tell if it stays on or not.


euromodder, this is where the strakes go, or are they fences?

Tomorrow is the test run. The forecast is for high 40's F and a head/crosswind. Not the best for testing but I'll post how it goes.
