GRT's (TomG) flat bottoms installed (all pieces on!)

When I picked up Hyde from the winter make over, the two center flat bottoms were installed, but the front-most flat bottom was not. The rear diffuser was also not installed yet (and still isn't).

Below are the two photos of the center pieces as they came on Hyde.

David Hawkins & I installed the front piece today (third photo). This is the best photo I could get with Cin's little point-n-shoot. We still have a few pieces of hardward to finish the install and make it really solid, but it is on enough to get the idea now.

Tom, there was no room to bend the front piece to have it angled behind the radiator. I understand what you intended, but it was simply not feasible with the locations of immovable objects under the car. We also decided to hyde the sway bar instead of mounting between it and the car.

The 4th photo is the diffuser. That still needs to be mounted.
It's going to be mounted so that the angle of mounting is adjustable.
It also needs to be cut out a bit to fit around my muffler.

The 5th photo is the flat bottoms sitting on Tomg's garage floor prior to shipping.

Im anxious to see the diffuser installed!

Does TomG have a website or anything? I know lots of this stuff is limited production, but im still interested in his work.

Tom does not have a Wen site that I know of, but he is planning on bringing his products to market.

I have not had a chance to work on the diffuser yet, but hopefully soon.

Its awsome to see these parts finally installed on a car. He has been working on that design for a LONG time now. Are you planning any other aero mods to Hyde?
