Huh? I thought you were in Utah. You're saying that you're actually in Michigan?

 

thats how low i am i think. but im tuckin a bit more. i know what you mean.

1 or both my wheels go into a pot hole im screwed. my frame his the ground pretty hard.

but go low or go home

 

How do you mash oil pans? My cars just as low, maybe lower.... The oil pan sits above the subframe.
My control arms and subframe is all F-worded. My pan is peachy.

BTW, the Beatrush panel is aluminum. That means youll just mangle the under panel.
You need steel.

The only thing I want to protect is my gas tank.

 

totally agreed.

 

i live in mass and the roads here suck ass i wish i lived in a warm state no frost heaves and i am lower now but yeah my sub-frame is all smashed too

 

where in MASS you at? i gots friends up that way, our roads here in utah sre alot bwtter since the olympics blew thru town in 2002 but they still suck, i'm going lower in spring 2010 on coilovers (after warr runs out)

still in for better pics of your car slammed

 

I also want to see pics.

 

Beatrush underpanels are NOT meant to be used as skid plates! They will protect from minor debris, but using them as a skid plate is a BAD idea. They are built for aerodynamics, not to protect your oil pan. Aluminum isn't ideal for this application at all, you need steel or diamond plate for real protection... or blow your money on one of these and destroy it within a couple days or weeks, whenever you bottom out first after installing it.

 

Actually, some of us know a lowered Fit isn't the perfect car unless you belong to the 'if it don't go, paint it' club.

Out of curiosity if you install a skid plate will you have any clearance at all?

 

Besides my front lip and under my car, my Fit looks just like any other Fit with 40k on the clock.
Actually, better. Even my front lip looks better than Fits on springs. People just cant drive.

Just get a small plate made from steel, mount it just so the oil pan is covered. You know, just the section where the pan is visible.

Waiting for pics still.

 

waiting for nikon to send me a cable i will post up i still need a front lip if any one has one

 

an appropriate quote, since he's apparently gone so low he can't always get home . . .

 

I just want side pics... Youre on stock wheels though. Right?

 

yes im on stock wheels i have some 15 inch work equips but i want to stretch front fenders and rear quarters

 

Agreed, and I own one.

Heavy enough aluminum plate will work fine. The off-roaders use aluminum with vehicles much heavier than our little Fits.

 

worse than alaska?

 

I had an alligator pop up in front of my car at 70 MPH not long after getting it. $2000.00 damage was done not counting the AEM CAI and I had to drive home(120 miles) with all of the pieces that looked reusable thrown into the back.... If I was to drop my car I'd have to air bag it, or walk the 4/10 of a mile home.... One of the few disadvantages of living out in the woods and away from the rat race `

 

 

Seriously, the Alcan and Ice Heaves are enough to destroy just about any car. I wouldn't even own a fit if I lived in Alaska. Wouldn't even think about it. Too much $$ wasted on new windshields all the time, and alignments.
