Underbody panels

I've been kicking around the idea of picking up a 2003-2004 Z06. I've been unable to find any photos of the underside panels which were added to improve aerodynamics. If you have an underside photo, please post it, or PM me and I can forward my email address. Thanks in advance.

My 2002 looks like this:

Maybe just me but I don't see any difference.

Thanks to you both. Airwolf, I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to imply the panels were added for 03-04. They were added, I think, for the Z06 back in 2001. The photos from both of you have really helped me to understand their appearance, though. Thanks a lot for that.

Does anyone know what these panels are made of?

Thanks again for your responses.

Pat

the front by the downpipes are plastic of some sort (ABS maybe) and the underpannels appear to be alluminum.
