Holy crap now we know why those things are so heavy! Look at the subframe! That thing must weight 50 lbs by itself.

Tina, I've always noticed you get the best pics of paint/PC jobs when you have Florescent light for your background lighting. The pics should show up better if you take a pic of them in the garage. But it does look good. ;)

And as for the subframe.....yeah it is heavy, but I can't ever recall hearing of any broken subframes on the preds.....?? Rath racing makes one thats 8lbs lighter(I think), but its a little too rich for my blood.

The peg extenders are from Rath Racing...www.rathracing.com
