Full Flat Undertray DIY
 
Recently.... I finished an full flat undertray DIY.
to maximize performance of RE-amemiya rear diffuser, it was designed to completely cover bottom of tranny and exhaust lines.
panels were made of aluminum 2.0mm sheet and placed a few NACA duct for cooling.
the yellow front undertray were self-made years ago for c-west aero.
see below pictures. ^^

Nice work

Sgtblue 01-27-19 07:32 AM

Yes, very nice. Slotted holes and clean fit.
Was the factory tunnel bracing or anything else removed? What were the panels secured to? What hardware was used? Any noise/rattling?

Really nice work.
Does it feel any different on the road?

FührerTüner 01-27-19 11:01 AM

Bet you could make a killing selling those. You already have the hard part done. Now mass produce.

Very nice! That would be a REAL chore to make without a lift!

I've thought about doing something similar, great job there!

Damn, that's impressive. I like the NACA shift to cool the exhaust.

Wow, hadn't realized there was room for that deep of a venturi under the differential- that might do something at speed!

This looks amazing! Great work :)
You could probably even sell these.

RCCAZ 1 01-28-19 12:57 PM

...or better yet for you, mass produce templates and bracket instructions and sell those. No fuss or hassle of having to produce, package and deal with shipping or customers :)

Personally I think this is exactly why I would prefer to purchase a template over a finished product .I'd rather modify a template and make the part fit my car exactly, vs modifying a finished part and it not looking/working perfectly.

Problem is that selling a template like that put a lot of faith in the community, as you are basically selling a very easily stealable product (paper).
Just take one guy to put it up at ebay for half the price to ruin the business for the original guy.

Tho, i would buy a template myself for the same reasons you mention. :D
