    Nice pics, you were lucky to get such an up-close look! I wish they would put on an event like this out here in BC.

    Real nice pics. Glad they cleaned up the exhaust routing to get it out of the airstream. And I see a cross brace mid-ships, looks like it's time for another BT Tech plate.

    Anyone else note the air channels in the underbelly on each side? Very cool.

    Great pics! Hood deflector as an OEM accessory this time?!?

    That stiffening plate looks pathetic. BT Brian will be glad :)

    I haven't heard anything about one being included. But it does fit nicely back there, doesn't it?

    I think it looks like there is room to add a stiffer brace to the rear. I noticed the shaped air channels in the under tray, I was just showing my son. I didn't notice that in Detroit, we should have had a hoist.
    I like that the springs and shocks are separate, I wonder if air bag suspension will fit to give self levelling suspension?

    meh.. pathetic. It's no different from SUV or pickup drivers that jack up their ride and tailgate others. I guess they found someone else that's raining on their parade and they're starting to get a taste of their own medicine.
