now THAT is a good question, the bumper is shorter right? Don't know about the bottom outline, since the chassis is the same. I would have to test fit one of my aftermarket bumpers, then test fit the underpanel with that.
I'll try and do that as soon as possible.

Since these are for down force what speeds do they become effective?

Can't really say.
Today we (well, John really) installed all the springs for the 1/4 turn fasteners. All the brackets and hardware are ready to go. We had a little anodizing glitch, so the whole batch of underpanels is getting done over. Should have them back by the end of the week, and the kits are ready to ship!

Did the final version of these have those louvers like the C-One/Beatrush units have? Or are they solid panels?

Solid panels. The vents served no purpose.
We have made a double bend at the back for stiffness, instead of making you spend an hour or two bolting more brackets into the car back there.

I will take pictures, I might need both.
I hit a BIG rock on the I-95 a few months ago, and it tore the plastic panel into pieces, which are now zip tied together. Then at the end of the winter, we have a storm, and my tires did not grip leaving work and i skidded into a small hill, and stopped right before hitting a tree. But this caused the plastic panel under the passenger wheel well to push out so when I turn to the left it rubs against the tire and I dont know what is pushing it, or how to fix it. I have to get my car on a lift and find out. Toyota saw this before and they zip tied it down for me, but wanted to charge $90 or so for the plastic piece under the passanger side or something like that.(not the wheel well) Thanks. |

....I don't believe these are for down force, am I wrong; where did you read that? It's supposed to clean up the bottom and provide a bit better aero and some protection.

The underpanel may create a small amount of downforce at the front (by accelerating the airflow under the front of the car), but not enough to be of any real benefit, especially on the street.
This underpanel, though is a great start at a full underbody aero treatment (i.e. front and rear diffusers, front splitter, dive planes, belly pan,etc.) that could yield some pretty cool results on the track. |

I wasn't really worried about street driving. I'm going to start tracking, auto-xing, and time trials that's what I was wondering about thank you for the info!
