Question about the rear suspension area. I see the coroplast is right over top of the control arms (or the ends of the twist beam .... I forget the particular setup here).
How are you handling the suspension movement? Is the trailing edge of the coro sheet tucked into the rear bumper and it just pulls/moves forward as the suspension reaches fully extended? Obviously it can't be fastened ahead & behind of the suspension... something would have to give.
I used 2 zip-ties on the panel to attach to the fuel tank aerobar thing (?) and one zip-tie to attach to the bumper exhaust hole. I had the suspension at full extension when zip-tieing to the bumper and when compressed, the panel just moves in and out where ever it can because everything else is only tucked under other panels.
Specific to the swing arms (I think that's what they are, but they are tied to each other like a torsion beam), I cut away the chloroplast in rectangles that only removed the top surface and the corrugations (imagine I beams turned to shallow c channel) leaving the bottom surface to be quite flexible and allow the panel to be higher than if it wasn't relieved. THAT was a pain to do and I'm not sure it was worth it.
Man, stop with the envy-inducing mods! Looks nice!
I've been saying I was gonna do this since I bought Turtle, now I see a full front-to-back belly pan in the near future! I can get pallet sized plastic for 2 bucks a sheet, so I'm thinking that will be my material of choice since the guy sold the 3x3 aluminum sheets out from under me.
I was considering an air dam instead of a belly pan since I'm lazy, but my car already sits so low that the other day I held my breath when I went over a possum in the road, waiting for the thud!
