You are definitely a lot lower than me then. I can get mine on the rails without a problem but likely another 3/16" and it will be a problem

I also no longer have the oem scissor jack mine is a powerbuilt (or something) from Kragen. So the height may be a little different

Sorry I still gotta measure the fenders for you!

shinkateen; check your maf sensor. dunno how or why it happens but the vibration from the engine sometimes loosens the screws that hold the maf in place. Me n' a couple others have noticed that the maf comes loose n' screws with our idle.

Hmm..you could always add blue loctite to prevent it from coming loose under vibration. It also allows you to remove the screw when needed; it's not a permanent setting glue.

Or, you can buy the original OEM undertray that includes the sides that are plastic riveted on from a vendor here. There is a thread on it, they sell for 130ish I believe.

For me, I just use black gorilla tape to cover up holes in the undertray to hide cut outs or holes I use for mounting my retractable license plate. Hell I use the tape to hold the plastic wheel well liners in all 4 as it is with the rubbing/cuts formed in it from the tires. You can't see them, well, maybe the front you could, if you looked hard enough under the fender but no one is ever going to virtually see them.

No pictures of it..but here's the vendor's site

http://www.swiftmotorsports.com/prod...9f31e771cba318

I got a motorized one so in case I do get pulled over, I'll activate it if the officer saw I didn't have one before pulling me over and wanted to hit me with a secondary offense for the ticket. I'll just prop it up before I roll down the window and ask him to check it again

I thought with the Tsunami bumper it would work perfect since the ends of the bumper are lower than the middle but turns out it still sticks lower than the ends of the bumper does, so when I go over my driveway into the garage I hear it scrape every time. When I resort back to the OEM I'll attach it to the opening between the bottom lip and the bumper itself instead so I don't have to worry about this.

The tape is black so it blends very well with the undertray and plastic fender liners. Actually on a stress test I remember reading in Popular Mechanics or Science, this tape came out on top contrast to a few others, including Duct tape. I have it in a few places on my undertray to cover the holes when I removed the stock skirts that are fixated before the tires, and gaps between the sides of the undertray that are riveted to the middle portion to prevent crap from getting up and in there.

I think BHR was toying with the idea of making a cheaper alternative to the GT spec. Maybe we can put some pressure on them and set up a GB...

Damn it. This may not work for my car.

My lip uses the bottom oem lip and extends down. It says it requires a 9" deep flat surface to mount - i don't have that

Deep crack head, aka length wise with the car not height. Watch the vid that GTR is like 2 inches form the ground.
