I don't think this caused any issue but would like to get it up on a lift to take a closer look. Might not be a bad idea either to close up the gash in the underbody guard. Quite the scary moment on the road but could have been worse.

jeez that's scary, imagine that thing going into the oil cooler.... might have to move the mishimoto plate up the mod list

For sure. I did have a feeling of thankfulness that the chunk of metal did not go for the oil cooler. That might have been game over.

If not, it will will get trapped & the placing of the PPF will be much more difficult for them.

awe crap.. good point.... might have to strip it down before i take the car in.

YIKES! Glad it wasn't worse!

Removed my ECU to ship off to femto for an unlock, while I was in the engine bay I also added some flare with the downstar dress up kit, so now that I’m down that rabbit hole I expect some carbon fiber stuff and red engine bay caps in my near future.

Yikes. Glad it didn’t do any damage. Where in the cities was that?

Looks great.
Are the door sills as easy to install as they seem?

Thanks. Yeah really simple. Just plastic clips that hold them in. Used a trim tool and just popped it up one at a time.

Love those CF parts 👍

Yes, I believe you're correct. If we don't select the CF roof then we automatically get the sunroof. Wish we had a third option, to spec our cars like yours. If we really wanted to.

This happened in Mound on hiway 110 heading west. I tend to gravitate towards the west of home (Excelsior) to find open roads when cruising.

Man it hasn't been called HIGHWAY 110 out there since like the 1950s. You are older than I thought! 😂
