    It is easy to see why 1st Gen guys would do better to get the 2nd gen panels as the 1st gen panels are 'GP' and list for ~$189 ea as opposed to ~$61 ea. Yeah, I can get the tin snips out for that kind of $$ delta.

    BTW, thanks for the pics and part numbers. It looks great on your car.

    I'm thinking it might actually help with rust protection cause less gunk is splashing up from underneath

    Well, it looks like I might be a little busy this weekend down at the shop.:D Aaron @ Outmotoring just contacted me to say that my "Under Floor Coating" panels and hardware just came in, so I plan on picking them up tomorrow. I'll take plenty of pic's to share them with you guy's.

    Just Peachy. Another mod I "need". :frown2:

    I wonder if it will coexist with my cabrio brace and X-brace without major butchering...

    Is this an "S" piece only or will they fit around the spare tire holder on a Justa?

    They have them for the Justa. It stops before it gets back to the exhaust/spare area.

    Do they really? I never saw an option for them, at least I don't think so. When you say "justa" are you talking about R50 or R56?

    I do not believe these panels are compatible with the X-brace. The purpose of these panels is to get smooth and controlled air flow, and we aint gonna get it even if you fit butcher them and fit what you can with the X-brace in place.

    R56.

    MCS's and MC's are identical underneath from the front subframe back to the rear subframe.

    Well..... In your case, this is very true. But I would have to think they will mount above the bottom of your jack points. But then again.... In your case maybe your jack points have been removed?

    Well.....
    Since I like supporting M/A vendors first, you could go there. Specifically Aaron @ Outmotoring.

    Secondly.....
    Go to Penskyparts.com
    Punch the 7 last digits on your VIN, and scroll down about midway and you will find all the part numbers for what you need.:D

    My exhaust takes a beating, so I imagine something like this would be just as likely to get hung up. Being plastic, it'd be prone to tearing away so it's not on my list of future mods despite the aerodynamic benefit. Still a cool OEM mod though :Thumbsup:

    Yeah .....
    Shipping is a killer.
    Aaron told me this morning that if he had to ship my front bumper some distance to me it would have added another $160.00. I am lucky I live near Outmotoring. So no outgoing freight cost to me.
    My total for the under panels with tax was only $170.00 with all the fasteners included.

    So these things fit right into place with the pop thingies. I could go to my local shop and we could do this with no major problems, drilling, cutting, etc?
