Mid undertray complete!

Decided to get off my lazy butt and rig up a mid tray today. I took out my brand new sheet of coroplast, and out popped one of my old mid trays for my previous accord! I thought I had used it already! Slapped that on with some screws and velcro. Made the other side and attached it as well. I overlapped the mid tray with the front tray so the airflow is more smooth there, and air does not go in between them. Sealed off a gap at the wheel wells that would have ducted air in between the floor and the mid pan. Here it is!

I also cut out a piece of posterboard(thick paper) to stuff in between the front bumper and radiator. It should prevent air from going underneath the radiator.

Took it for a drive after the mid trays were put on and noticed two things: 1. It didn't catch on fire. 2. IT COASTED BETTER! WOOHOO!

I wanted to make a rear pan as well, but couldn't lift the back to a workable height so I gave up for now. Instead I extended my rear diffuser. Click image for larger version
