Wow! Looks great and that back bumper is pretty special too. From your last photo I wonder if you will have a deflector to keep the section behind the axle from scooping up air. My belly pan v1.0 hit a gust of wind and was laying in the road behind me. I learned to make sure the leading edges are very secure. The trailing edges are less of a concern.
