as to this "mod" on the highway - hard to tell today, since it was very windy. It's so subjective....I "felt" like the car was a bit grabbier on the high-speed corners, but my mind could have just as easily been playing tricks on me....
Thanks irish!!! I had been looking at the LBT and was wondering if it would help in any way.

Keep us posted on the ghetto air dam. Some of us are interested!

irish, since you had both, stage 1 and stage 2, how significant is the difference between them.

the stage2 makes much more of a difference in steering response and just making the front of the car feel more solid. I miss my stage2, but to be legal in DSP/STX classes I can only have a stage1

You're looking at a rear belly and 2 front undertrays. But since it's an altima it doesn't count.

Irish,
how is this thing holding up? And have you smashed it against parking curbs yet?
Do you still think it's doing something?

I've scraped in on several parking curbs and a driveway or two. Holding up fine. The nice thing about rubber....it doesn't break

doing something? Who knows But it's not hurting anything
