Got it yesterday - this is a nice piece. It's not just flat stock either - it has some bends in it. I will try to take it over to my car when I visit it in the paint slammer today and see how well it fits. There's even an adhesive strip on the top to protect against scratching during shipping!

What bends does yours have in it? Did you buy the one from SoCal69? Mine arrived yesterday and its just flat. It looks nice but I didnt have any bends or anything in mine. I would have had it installed last night but the 2 bolts that hold it in snapped right off in my car. Thats just how my luck has been this month. At least the closeout piece is nice. this is the bottom view. The top has a protective strip that I didnt want to peel off yet.

I think so, ebay name was derelss396. It looks like the same piece, except about 4" or so from each end was bent slightly.

Yeah - got mine yesterday as well and it is getting painted today. The bends are 2-3" from each end and it only kicks it up just a little. I wouldn't worry abuot it as you can massage it to make it fit as needed. Can't wait to get it installed.

Mine came in two days ago and had two bends, one on each end. I like the piece a lot and can't wait for the support bars. I was also impressed with the packaging.

Very nice.. Should be a vast improvement over the open area.
Does it use the factory support bars?"A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."

No if you have factory support bars you will have to trim the very ends of them. About 1/2". Not a big deal at all. A quick zap with a cutting wheel and the ends are gone. Originally Posted by Steve1968LS2

I believe he said he has plans to make his own support bars like the ones in the pictures posted on ebay.

Funny I was trying to decide the same thing. I think I will leave mine the way it is. That way it will match all of my billet looking stuff in the engine compartment. Well the billet stuff I will get some day. Originally Posted by 69ratfed

I made my own and had it powdercoated flat black, which is actually more of a satin. I slipped mine under the support bars so they help hold in down.
