ok, i finally had some time to get back to this, I found a MUCH cheaper material than the exotic teklam I planned on using before and it has similar weight and strength characteristics.
I already have a quote from my source on the material and the cut, as soon as I work out a few more details I will post a new thread with the final cost, any options, and how to buy them.

Shutup Dan lol. Knock yourself out...I wasn't doin much more than just postin that link at 3 am 
Damian's working on making a full underbody carriage for the FD. I got him pics of a Skyline and Ferrari undercarriage, and I thought he might be interested to see the ductwork on the Carrera GT.

A Google search on "Lexus", "dimples" and "underbody" finds this:
Lexus is making its first appearance on the Super Bowl telecast in five years.
In a 30-second spot called "Dimples" the automaker shows a GS 430 sedan being rotated on a metal arm upside-down inside a wind tunnel. The commercial highlights the car's dimpled underbody.
As the GS 430 is turned over, a voiceover says: "You'd expect a luxury sedan to have aerodynamic lines. But Lexus engineers went a step further. Dimpled panels were used on the undercarriage to reduce noise and lower wind resistance. So it's aerodynamic from every angle."
Team One Advertising created the Lexus commercial.

ok, the prototype came and I will be test fitting some other noses. I will figure out if there will be any 'options' for the tundertray/splitter and start selling them soon. I'll post a new thread on them once I am ready to start selling.

Damian, I have a prototype undertray for my car, but it's aluminum :thumbs down: I need something composite, maybe you can refer me to your supplier, or sell me one if they're reasonably priced 
I spent a lot of time making the one I have, but the one you have is probably nicer. Also what did you use as a spacer for the rear mounting point?

>> have a prototype undertray for my car, but it's aluminum
by aluminum you mean solid aluminum?
>>I need something composite, maybe you can refer me to your supplier
if you want one like my exotic composite then call teklam, that is what I used, its a bout 1K a sheet though :-)
my new material is slightly heavier and less exotic (aluminum skins), but MUCH cheaper, so it makes them affordable. I was hoping to get the teklam version below the $700 mark, but with the new material i think i can get the price down to the $400 mark. maybe even cheaper depending on a group buy numbers.
keep in mine my design is an undertray AND splitter, if you look to buy just one of those from any other vendor you will easily be at or over the price of what mine will be.

havnt you seen the pics of my design? most of them are at the start of this thread.
>>Also what did you use as a spacer for the rear mounting point?
aluminum braket, but some noses may not need it as they are not as low as the ms gtc nose.

I used a piece of solid aluminum yes.
for $400 it seems like a decent deal, will that include the dzus fittings? The only thing I would be worried about if buying your undertray would be having the shape of the GTC front being different from mine and not looking right.
What kind of time frame are you looking at for completion of this project?
