Finally ponied up for the ZSpeed undertray.
Install it this morning while the weather and driveway was cool.
No photos of it or the install since everyone knows what this looks like. Removed the trap door and was like "this is a thing of beauty!"

Next on my list is some race ramps. Jacking this car up is a pain in the a$$, not to mention downright scary.

Nice! Ugh, too many products and choices! My car products "closet" in the garage is already bigger than my food pantry in the kitchen. Lol.

What lift points are you using for the jack stands?

I lifted the car up by the side rail and put the stands under a solid frame member.

Moved her into the driveway to ideally avoid wayward bottle rockets this evening, and spot cleaned some bird strikes off the hood and driver's side hatch. Probably scraped another 1/32 of plastic off the diffuser pulling into the driveway...

Jackstands for me. I have had the car completely off the ground for days and been under it for hours at a time with no issues. The only time I am concerned is when I try something not so safe, like lifting one side of the car to slide the trans back under, while the other side is still on the stands, don't ask.

As for what I did, I began peeling the plastidip off the handles, in preparation to swap for some Equalme paint-matched handles.
