I haven't done anything to the underside of the car. I plan a full coroplast treatment. I'll do another tuft testing video of the bottom of the tail at that time. Probably won't get to it for another month or so, though.

Xist - I'm not really concerned about striking the bottom of the tail on anything. It's got a very healthy departure angle (~18 degrees). Thats much better than a lot of OEM vehicles.

Ah, good. I think a full underbelly helps a bit. Don't let the rear axel fake you out. I studied it a bit when I did my underbelly and thought it would clear the underbelly. Turns out I was correct - it doesn't touch. Of course, you will have to make cutouts for the spring perches and the lower shock mounts. Send me a PM when you get at it and I can give you some tips on mounting points, which are a bit scarce. |

It only take 1 1/2 4x8 pieces to do the belly pan, not hard at all.

When you put the belly pan on, make sure you don't screw into the high voltage cables!
Oh, by the way, nice work on the cardboard tail box. Clear lexan sheet covers over the tail lights would be cool.
