    Yeah.....
    Isn't OEM parts install wonderful? Everything fits.

    Apparently I'm not done feeding the tax man.

    While I was on Penskyparts, I noticed there were two additional aero under panels that I need. A RH & LH part. Not sure where they go yet, but I'm thinking somewhere around the rear trailing arms. They are only about $14.00 each if I remember. So I'll be giving Aaron another call on Monday.

    Ha Ha Ha...

    I checked Penskeparts and their shipping was $13.80 for all the parts. Total was about $162 and some change.

    You just need a full length and width skid plate...

    Or just bolt several hoverboards to the bottom...

    You are missing two special brackets from your list.
    51752753165 LH underfloor paneling bracket
    51752753166 RH underfloor paneling bracket

    So add a few more $$:D

    ...those underbody panels are about 70" x 24x 2 and while they only weigh about 10 lbs UPS and fedex will consider them be about 120 lbs due to the dimensional weight...I am sure I can package the two together and get the shipping rate down a bunch but at the minimum that amount of "weight" (real or not based on UPS and Fedex)....will be pretty expensive....

    Chuck/metalman, If you want to measure the box dimensions and post them or email me I can double check the UPS shipping and let you all know what shipping will cost for this kit.....I am pretty sure I can get them both in one box or at least tape the boxes together to get the shipping cost down...

    A quick iPhone pic of the under-panels. I didn't get them installed this weekend. I'll do it next weekend when my wife is in Finley Ohio for a horse show.

    You are lucky this isn't a performance thread :eek: Some people would be demanding dyno plots, wind tunnel tests and trap speed slips :lol: Plus they would say it's all, "theory" :cool:
