Going to like the tubs, as I am not a big fan of drag racing my NT-01's have straight line gripping problems, but not in the turns, your progress is looking good

UPDATE
Received the 12 foot shift cable from Jegs and installed it today. The default cable is 5 feet long and it was way too short. Also began the shifter install process and the first tentative steps of 2 other custom installs. The B&M Pro Ratchet shifter is a FIRST in any 4L60E C5, BTW
Here are the pics
12 foot B&M cable installed.
OK. Onto the shifter install. It's going to be tricky but I'll get there
Stock shifter in the foreground, B&M Pro Ratchet shifter in the background
Let's get the stereo and climate control bracket out of the way
Offer up the stock for reference
Stock stripped - and reference points marked
If I just bolted the ratchet shifter here - it would be way too high and seriously ugly

So that calls for a different approach
Hurm - looks good. Me likey
Mark out the area
And cut it out. I LOVE MY DREMEL !!!
That's a little better
But it needs more cutting

Not a bad fit - but still not right
Back to the Dremel
That's the ticket!!
On the money. This is going to be sweet
Don't try this at home, kids

I have a lot of welding to do to finish the shifter mount, so I will revist that in a bit.
And so onto the next mod
Time to do something about this...
My trusty Dremel to rescue one again
Stock bracket (minus the lightly modded backtab)
Let's start by removing the top stereo standouts
And that now useless lower bracket
Offer up the repositioned climate control

I don't think I could EVER put any of that stuff back together again, even if I were the one to remove it all. You are a brave(and insane) individual EG.

I would think its possible to have air deflect up the underside of the rear bumper fascia.
But thats just a hunch.
