mcsad,

Do you have a clearer side shot?  I'm curious how much gap there is between the floor pan?

I will take one tonight and post it.  I was using my blackberry and the side shot wasn't very clear.

Hopefully these pics will help.  I tried to get a few with/without backlighting.

Thx, that looks the same as mine.

Have you driven it yet?  Any improvement?

Got any underside pics?  Curious to see how it welds to the front there.

I'm "lucky" enough to live in CT where we have 2 feet of snow on the ground and have had salt on the roads since Thanksgiving, so I won't be driving it until spring.  As for pics of the front, I will post them shortly.

The installation instructions from Hotchkis actually have some really good pictures of an installation from underneath while the car is on a lift. You can download the instructions in pdf format from Summit...

I highly recommend downloading them as the one's that come in the box are black and white and the pics are very difficult to see.
