Body fitment with drop foot kit?
I installed the drop foot kit in the FE and now that I have the body back from the painter I've notices the panel that fits over the "tea tray" won't fit with the drop pan in place. What did you guys do to solve this issue? Is searched and didn't see anything come up so I'm a little worried since it appears I'm the only person with this problem?

My dropped footbox is all the way against the pedals and I have no issue with the bodywork.

Perhaps my body panel is slightly warped. It does "sink" inwards (upwards) towards the chassis which I though was normal but perhaps not. Anybody know the rules as far as body panels go? Can I use mine to make a mold and then make a new panel out of carbon fiber to adjust for the depth of the drop pan?

No you can not make your own bodywork, but you can call your CSR and order one that isn't warped.

Did you mount the tabs for the drop box above or below the floor?

Above the floor so the tabs held it in place as I rivited the pan.

Ok. Good. The fiberglass splitter should fit fine. We have several that way with no issues.

Well, I'm certain mine will break if I try ro fit it. About 1/2 gap around the edges.Originally Posted by SStadel
So we cant make a mold of The body panels and lay our own as long as they are identical?

NO, you CAN NOT make your own parts

Ok, thanks for the heads up. I always ask before just in case. Can we fix them if they break
