these Dzus things look pretty handy but as you say they don't really do ways with the need for welding.
today i tried to fit a piece or corrugateded plastic underneath the car. it's alost exactly the width of the subframe. i might hang it from the frame with zipties if i can find some big enough aroudn the house. i can't make it go all the way back as the exhoust would probably mely it (or set it on fire wich is the last thing you want)
it seems i could get aways with one or two attachement points under the bumper.
and some "hooks" to suspend it from the subframe at the rear.
i'll see if i can safely put this together in the next few days and what the effect on FE will be, depending on the results i might choose to get some sheet aluminum and build an upgraded version, but than again, if this version works well enough i might keep it as it is.
does anyone know how hard sheet aluminum is to work with and how one would go about bending and cutting it to shapes? would some metal shears work? i wouldn't mind invesing a little money in a need mod that has proven to work; but i wouldn't like mess up to much of the aluminum
