Good point, I didn't think about the brake cooling.

Yeah, I was also in that group buy. At least you're not the last one to install it...

Over the week-end i just took mine off
It was becoming a real pain to have to straighten it out all the time.
The Beatrush Underpanel looks awesome

Oh, wow....I thought I was the last one to install this. The metal strips I'm talking about, it's not the ones that are in the front of the wheels. I didn't get a chance to install that when I took the pic. I couldn't figure out what the metal strips were until I saw the actual pic again.

Compare mine and this pic from Kamispeed's website:



Unfortunately, thanks to the instructions, it just tells you to put it together, but doesn't show you where to install it. So, I had to wait like two weeks until my friend's lift was free again.

For the rest that are interested in the panel, here's the link:

So would a fender lip like the APR carbon fiber one and the varis underpanel work together nicely?

What's a fender lip?? You guys are talking about a lip for the FRONT BUMPER, not fender. I've never heard of a fender lip besides the one inside the fender that people usually roll to accomodate wider tires.

I hope you're talking about the stocker (zero lift kit), because a rock will do absolutely nothing to the beatrush.

You're right man, my mistake. I don't know why my dumbass kept calling it a fender lip. Anyway, it's the one like the APR Front lip

I just want to know if there would be any negative aerodynamic effect by using both the lip and the beatrush underpanel.

Mine's coming ooff first thing tomorrow. It's just too annoying.

Seriously, does it make much difference with it off?

^^ Took mine off just now. I didn't actually hit anything, trust me, but the thing was just hanging low.

Taking it off showed that the underpanel just sort of un-clipped itself. Pushing it back up does little cos the whol panel is just too floppy and the plastic clips are all pretty tired. I guess I could just replace them, but the whole thing looks pretty hopeless cos not only are the clips a little wore for wear, but the holes they go in are also pretty burred out.

It looks like the weight of the rubber/steel strip just makes the situation worse. I mean, the undertray is just about enough to support its own weight, let alone have something stuck right at the end of it. I could just readjust the thing, but I'll just have to do it again in a couple of weeks.

So, I'm getting a beatrush underpanel and a do-luck front lip.

Anyone had any scrapes with the front lip? is it better/worse than the rubber lip? I'm on stock ride height (and always will be). Thanks.
