Roll Pan Install
Still a couple parts to pick up and may take a while to do this.
An E-bay pan, wanted the Sir Michael's but cost and lead time drove me another route. Sir Michael's hitch and some fancy fold out and up license plate frame that I don't know will fit.
Still debating a couple things. Weld or not. I know welding will look a lot better but the potential of me screwing it up will go up big time
What to do with the exhaust. I'm old school and like dual exit rear exhaust. Found a couple trick exhaust tips that I might go with from Stylin Trucks, might not fit the contour of the pan, or do some cutouts in the pan and use the current Corsa tips I have.

Never installed one so learn as I go kinda thing. Figured the first thing to do is get the license plate thingie on.
Get the cutout template on.
Lots of cutting. An air hack saw would of been the tool of choice. I used my cutoff tools.
A lot of time in this. It wasn't a drop in fit. Had to trim up the flip thingie to make it work.
Still some more work to do, but its basically on and working. Need some clean up and gotta put some stops on it somehow to keep it from hitting a couple places.

Getting the rear of the pan buttoned up.
Seam sealer.
Then undercoated.
Getting the bumper off. Pain in the *** by myself.
Bolted up the new hitch. Wow the tips are long
Tips off. Still had to cut off a bit of the pipe to start the test fitting of the roll pan
Quite a bit of trimming on the roll pan needed both sides to fit it up. Decided to weld it in.
As she sits right now. Have to pull it back off and grind down the spots to weld.
