So what about a deep sump and X51 type oil baffle to potentially help with the oiling issue? I did that for my '99 that I DE. It helps me sleep better at night and I'm a little less worried on the sweepers.
HA! I forgot to add that to my "done" list. That's the problem with trying to document AFTER, Haha.
Yes, installed the LN deep sump & windage plate, plus the x51 baffles, plus the skid plate. (I'll edit the list below)

Saw this on FB. Love the color.

Any hard spots to wrap? The body is so smooth an can't imagine any snag areas.

Oh I learned a ton about wrapping.
1. NOT a one-person job. you really need two people.
2. DON'T attempt this when the ambient temperature is below about 60d f.

There are plenty of compound curves, recesses, etc. on this car, which require a good understanding of how and where to stretch. And then how MUCH to stretch, before it tears.

The wrap is a 50/50. FRom 50-feet or at 50mph, it looks very exotic and badass. :-)
