Default You will so wonna see this pic.

Took the Cab to a guy for an under-carriage cleaning and look at the present we found on the bottom. That's right, under paneled from front to rear. We honestly did not know. The shop that did the PPI did not bring it up but it does help explain why the car is so, so smooth at high speeds.

I bet you would!

Some may be a bit hesitant to give out that info to a stranger on the interweb.

He didnt bring it up because that is factory (regarding the plastic undercarriage panels). Only the engine cover is not factory.

I am now seeing that I assumed something more than it was. I never would have never thought that was an oem design. The Okl plate is from the old registration and is the only reason I did not block it out. If you want to see the car I am in the North Texas area.

As Brad (99firehawk) said, they all have that bottom. However, the engine protection plate is not standard and was either added as an option on the car or added after the car was delivered to the owner.
