No luck finding the side skirt cap? Every picture I keep seeing of that it bugs me lol.

[Chuckdee]

Lol I have 2 of those moldings sitting in the car as we speak, i'm being lazy to put them on. I don't know why i'm waiting but I'll find an excuse later lol.

Update: So I lowered it even more, my current GtF is 22.5






Also mounted my "skid plate" so I can sit at 22.5 with no worries




Next is to work on the wheels and then later, worry about fitting them on so I can still sit at that current height.

Yeah, a stop sign isn't going to protect you from anything you hit.

You would think so, but I've seen people using a stop sign or some other road sign as a skid plate with no problems, I wouldn't use it if it wasn't going to work. The metal is fairly thick enough, so I'm sure I shouldn't have any problems with it being a shield against road debris. But what it won't prevent is my oil pan being cracked from smack against the ground if i bottomed out pretty hard.....IF And from what i've seen, not even legit skid plates can prevent that.

What I do want is an oil pan w/ a steel bottom :/

nooooooooooooope.

Awesome man, I wanna see this thing on some nice wide wheels!
