Here are some install pics.

This is Ironworks installing the part, the tunnel we will be able to supply and it will match the profile of the cross member. the seat pans need to be removed to install the cross member.

Sweet can't wait to see it finished. Do you have any underbody pics? I know you said you are working some clearance issues. For the seats and tunnel what about the exhaust on the underside? Very cool.

The underside is basically stock except in the very middle where the crossmember hangs down for the short torque arm mount. The rest of the crossmember is above the floor.

Hey Ben, I was wondering how you guys are attaching the front subframe to the new cross member?

It doesn't actually. We recommend using solid bushings which then solidly tie the subframe to the factory frame support crossmember which is underneath the seat mount pan. Our frame connectors and crossmember then weld to that factory crossmember. This way the entire car is now tied front to back and has even greater torsional strength side to side. It also makes it a bit easier to remove the front subframe if need be.

Check out our install instructions found at the very bottom of the connector's web page at the link in my last post. They explain how it fits together and has cool visual aids. :thumbsup:
