wondering why you just didn't use a rubberized undercoating, to prevent rust and deaden sound, instead of paint, which does neither.

It's a vert only cross member. It can be bolted to a non-vert. Weighs less than 15lbs.

Edit: Works with RB headers. Pacesetter Headers don't fit with the cross member.

He's also missing the convertible transmission tunnel crossmember that cuts down on cowl shake. The 2nd subframe/brace is to stiffen the chassic for the convertible.
