I made one from ABS and lowered the part at the radiator support on my 07. The height difference from front to the k-member is now only one inch. Next time I order some ABS sheets I will probably change the OEM part also to make it flat.

Heat didn't work, I used dissolved ABS (I had some left from my undertray work). I hope that the acetone will dissolve the coating a bit.

Yes it is through the coating and I can see the metal. Re-heating with a heat gun can be an option. It is a Mercedes spring and they have crazy preload. I hate using this compressors and the springs are prone to break anyway. I must compress 3 loops until the wire touches, whole spring has only...

Hello I damaged the spring coating with the spring compressor, is there a repair method that I can do now? And, it looks like there is no way not to damage the coating so the repair must be done with the installed spring. Thanks

Problem with the cables/connectors? Or the stepper motor of the cluster? I once had a bad cable to my radio (other car, drop out at potholes) which was impossible to find, only a new cable solved it.

Did you open the SJB? I had water issue and found a lot of corrosion on the SJB board (I got brake light problems) after cleaning it was gone.

It was sealed with some 1'' thick very hard sealer, looked like urethan. Left it inside, but sprayed underneath with fluid film, fingers crossed..... no test drive so far, fuel is 8$/gal now, driving around for fun is no fun anymore, thanks to the new carbon tax.

Do you had to remove the complete weather plastic shield to get to the door?

Will do. I have seen them, they are glued (?) to the bottom, so just pull them up? The condensed water can be a problem, I agree, that's why some say not to use alubutyl on the outside panels, instead use this bitumen/plastic stuff which is glued with heat, OEM style. This area is a huge open...

Quick tip: I just wanted to fill up the space between the rear wheel well and the b-pillar with polyester wool through the seat belt retractor hole and it looks like it is large enough to place some alubutyl stripes on the quarter panel inside. And you need around 15+ liters of polyester wool...

No mileage compare so far, but I noticed a much smoother ride on the Autobahn with the front undertray. How do these splitter strut rods work? Are they stable in all directions or do they have a weak point? Are they adjustable in length?

Thanks, that was helpful. I made an almost flat front undertray, it also lowered the wind noise.

When I remember correctly. there is no separate weatherstrip, it is a rubber edge molded in the plastic part. But the price is insane.

Do you guys have thoughts about that, except very expensive: https://www.fordgt500.com/threads/new-underbody-strakes-aero-from-steeda-gt500-s550-compatible.208233/
