Beatrush aluminum underpanel

I bought this from KamiSpeed in Orlando at our meet last April ...and finally had time to install last month! Some say that the underpanel should yield a little better mileage, but I mainly wanted it for some added protection from road debris ...OK, and 'cause I really, really like how it looks ...even if I'm the only one who looks at it :)



The kit includes these 3 brackets ...first you remove the stock plastic 'underpanel'. Then these brackets go on. There's only one way they can go, so it's pretty intuitive:


A couple of 10mm bolts hold the side panels/braces in place:


And then the panel slips under the bumper and gets screwed to the 3 brackets and to the side panel/brackets. The kit includes brackets that theoretically bolt to the frame - I installed one of them (something like 120 ft lbs, so used an impact wrench) - and then decided there was no need for it and removed it. The underpanel is plenty secure without those extra brackets (one of them is visible in the pic above, before I removed it).

Some more misc pics:
