Just be prepared to spend at least a day working on it to get things right. You need to remove the front bumper and work with it, as well as wiring it up to the battery. Since I'm running the AEM cai, I ran it through the gap there in the opening of the sheet metal and then from there to the battery. You also have to mount the receiver in the engine bay. It's suggested to stay away from heat...and with how hot our engine bay runs while I thought of screwing it directly to the bottom portion of the OEM filter box, it would of ran too hot so I hid it behind between the fuse box and the body sheet metal where the fender is to get it as far as possible away from heat.

I can take some pictures tonight on what I did, nothing fancy, the wires are held up by the tape I mentioned earlier at places I used for routing. You can do that or drill holes and tie wrap them instead.

Aight, although I will say mine was a bit off center because I believe of the Tsunami..

The undertray has ribs spaced out evenly and I placed it dab in the center, but when activated it shows it more toward the right than the left noticeably. I think the bumper wasn't formed perfectly on the front lip as far as curvature goes possible...or just is positioned off due to the mounting hole placement they used.

I know this a long shot for some you guys, but if you have the money then I have an xtra set of drilled and slotted rotors along with pads that were shipped to me. it has to be the same price I pads as my card will be charged if it does not go back. so if you hace cash and need brakes here's your chance before I ship them back

'laze: cool, good to know. I'll probably avoid putting it in the center then. (let's face it - if you missed the center then there's a good chance i'll be way off )

I wonder what it'll look like towards the oil cooler.

Just remember, extra 1.5" or a tad more towards the ground when you add that thing under a flat bottom lip. If you're scrape already, gonna be bad news with that thing on there.

BTW 'nilla, get your *** over to B@W

well at least he'll have a legit excuse when he props it up and the officer looks at the plate as to why he can't use it (no homo)

John knows that one kit whereby the plate is attached to a horizontal spring mechanism so that when the car is moving above a certain mph the force from the air pushes it up and back. You need room though behind the plate and it has to be hanging down. that is the way I would like to go

Depends on what you want. I think 'nilla and myself like it hidden at all times because it ruins the look of the car with the ability to bring it out when we want such as when we get pulled over.
