Interior, who needs interior? You must be planning on hooking up with some drag *****.

The problem


The cure.



Enzo look into something like that brace. I had a couple of 8.8 covers break open from hard launches. The brace eliminated the breakage.






I see a spot for the 'MYOB' sticker!

Cris,

I'm not using the normal 8.8 cover. I actually got an explorer cover.
It's flat across the back and this is why there's a flat plate across the back to bolt the rear to.. i'll see if i could find pics of it.. I thought about trying to add some more support to the cover to prevent breakage..

i'll also post some more pics when i get home in a few hours...
