Here's a look at the bottom side of that cool custom air intake, a trick air filter box that's fed from underneath away from engine heat. Also seen is the remote oil filter location, part of the set up with our road race and dry sump LS oil pans. Next up is a custom air dam and splitter that will help guide air to the filters and provide the necessary down force at higher speeds.

Very nice work. In the driver side of the transmission lower drain hole is that a temperature sensor?

That oil filter sure looks low. Maybe it's just camera angle, but I assume the air dam and splitter will be protecting it?

the filter is about 3" above the bottom of the frame and when the splitter is on only the nut shows so you can get the filter off with out removing the splitter

I had to ask. I assumed it was all good, I haven't ever seen anything half-a$$ed come out of your shop.
Car is looking fantastic!

Here's some more pics to show what we've got going on...

The radiator support is in line behind the valance grills, airflow will go up through the radiator and down underneath to the air filters.



The air filters are in front of the sway bar and will be sealed off, guiding the air flow and keeping debris and such from the tires getting up in there.



The splitter will create down force at speed, seal the air box on the bottom side and help direct airflow under the car.

The interior's that coming together while the air dam is being fabricated. The back seat is kinda useless with the cage in the way so we made it a little more useful with the speakers taking up the back portion and functional storage compartments on both bottom sides.
