You indeed have an underside that is a match for the topside of your car. Simply Outstanding (an understatement to say the least.) You've sure put a lot of effort in and it has paid off.

I love it,, I am starting on mine. I have the tank guards polished and polished diamond plate mylar on the bottom of the floor boards. Its really amazing how you can take aluminum , sand it smooth and polish it up , , its not too hard if you have the tools and elbow grease. I am looking forward to doing my lower control arms this winter... I swore I would never do another car like I did my sandrail I polished everything, blosk, trans .. nad its a bitch to keep looking like mirror. But all the aluminum on the vette is calling at me , and I cant say NO to polishing it

Scratch, Your car is killer,,,,,,98's are teh best c5's
