It does hang down like that. It would be tempting to cut it off, but there are tow hook brackets (not visible) and some bizarre metal tab hanging down (to the right of the muffler-- I think the stock rear bumper lip attaches to it-- it would be a good place to mount truck nuts), so I think it might just be easier to go around those.

So, yes, the idea would be for a pan to go all the way back to the bumper. Other than the junctions between the various proposed sections, it would be very flat across the entire car.

I hope some of the folks here with full belly pans chime in, and explain how they got around their axles. It just seems to me like covering it up without providing for suspension travel would be asking for trouble.
