Hi Patches! Thanks for posting the pic. I ordered a set from Andy just the other day. 
I was under the impression that the wheels are black. Is it just your flash making it appear lighter or is it really that color?

Great mod, especially for lowered cars.

In addition to FS'ers, you may think about rocker rails ... It's a good combo IMHO. Hope this helps.

Here are a couple of pics of mine. The vette is not on a lift. It's tough to get a pic since the car is only 3 1/4" off the ground... I guess I need to clean under there...

you are correct sir... 
I talked with Andy about this and he said that it is a good idea to just tack weld the frame in the front and back..that is what he does and for Petes sake hes the one that sells the frame savers...
