I think this one may use a different one...although I suppose vtech could kick in at V1....

I got a notification saying that my aluminum sheet (for rear diffuser) came in today. Got home from work all excited... just to find half of the size aluminum sheet was at the front door & it wasn’t in good shape. I was about to call them... just to find out they’re only open 7-4:30 (CDT). I didn’t waited +2 wks just to get bend up POS sheet. Surpass upset & fully disappointed

That's a bummer. Is there nowhere local you can pick up a sheet from? Some large metal recycling places hang on to good scrap and sell it by the pound. That is where I typically go for my sheet metal.
