I suppose "better" like "beauty" is in the eye of the beholder. What makes it look better to me is the OEM look and feel of everything. Their inner fenders really clean up the engine compartment.

I'm sure it will not disappoint with its performance either. I can't wait to see their Chevy II Test Car on the track.

my mistake. @columbus i looked at it and the frame looked like it had rounded edges instead of squared off. the inner fenders really look right for the car.

Any pics of this clip on an actual Nova? Yes I checked DSEs website and didn't notice any, unless I'm missing something.

It's way beefier than the other ones on the market, it also has a custom rack built specifically for this clip. The rails are fabricated but they don't look like your typical tube frame and as Rodger pointed out the inner fenders are bad$$. The first sub is already under a car at DSE fwiw. I think these Novas are going to be smokin some Camaros in the auto-x and road-courses.

DSE has great subframes.
We prefer to do full frames.
Here's a full frame alternative we offer for early Novas. $3695 bare.

more companies need to get creative w/their inner fender wells, like dse did. not only is he dse probably as good or better than anything else, they are ahead of everyone w/their design on the inner fenders. can't believe no one else had done it yet!!!
