Hey guys, though some of you would be interested to see how the fitment is on a Beatrush Underpanel. The install is fairly simply, just a pain getting under the car and laying on your back if you don't have access to a lift. This underpanel is clearly designed for a IX front bumper, not a VIII, although you can still make it work on a VIII with some modifications. The panel fits perfectly and came with all the needed hardware. No factory clips are needed whatsoever.

Tools needed:
allen key
phillips head screwdriver
socket wrench with basic sockets
jack & 2 jackstands

Here are a few pictures of the finished product. It was hard to get clear pictures under the car at that angle, so I apologize for the crappy pics. Even so, you get the idea. I had no major fitment issues. The downpipe does come incredibly close to the back panel. I tried to show some of the clearances in the pics. Let me know if anyone has any questions.

Ryan,

Usually around $315 -$330. The largest issue is really finding someone who has them in stock as they are usually backordered.

Just got mine installed last night thanks to Ryan. Had some small technical difficulties fitting it to my aftermarket lip but it looks and fits exactly like the pictures.

Glad everything turned out so well. I was a bit concerned at the beginning seeing how the rexpeed lip didnt allow for great mounting positions
