Very cool looking part... looks extremely well designed, thanks for the great review. Unfortunately I don't think us NASA TT guys are allowed to use aftermarket subframes without taking a "non-production car" penalty, otherwise I'd definitely be interested in a 12 lb weight savings that far up the front of the car.

I am trying to find a stock under tray to put on my car to see if it works or not.
I do not see why it would not work though. And if there are mounting tabs that need to be there Dan at diamond said it is no issue to add them for the guys who are keeping the stock under tray.
I should have a complete trans install and transfer case review this weekend.

Since this is a review thread, thought I'd throw in my two cents.
Subframe is missing the bosses on the underside for being able to attach chassis braces...or where the skidplates typically attach. There are 4 raised (well, technically they're on the underside) brackets with either M8 or M10 threaded captive nuts. FWIW, my flat bottom used these OEM attachment points.
In addition, it's not set up to actually use a sway bar. The mounting bosses are there and line up perfectly, but the sway bar needs a flat surface to mount to. We added a flat piece of aluminum on top of the bosses, but it does take away clearance between the sway bar and transfer case. EDIT: Interestingly enough, the pics above show flat pieces welded into the sway bar mounts that were left off on my unit.
Have contacted the seller and no replies, so I'm going to have to modify it on my own time and expense.
None too pleased...considering it was advertised to have all the factory brackets.

Are you talking about the Diamond sub frame or the racefab subframe? You posted in that thread and speak of pictures above. There is no pics on this page. So i am a bit confused.
