I sure did. I was interested in at least the strut tower bar among other things, but the rep who answered the phone kept nervously referring me to the website.

Obviously, the website had no information about availability of the ZC6/ZN6 parts. Why else would I be calling?

Can one of the vendors jump on this and try to import, or is Tein the only option?

The under paneling is very nice for those who are serious about tracking.

Those look fairly thick, guess it's time to go rallying! I'm making an assumption the one column is weight, but if you add up the _lightest_ of those panels it comes out to around 70lbs of additional weight for the complete setup. 5mm is serious rally protection thickness, not something you would just use for better aerodynamics.

How much does it weigh I wonder. Is it aluminium?

5mm is a little larger than 3/16" which is what most budget rally cars use for underbody protection, at least in the front under the engine. 5mm can definitely take a decent impact. The better funded teams use carbon kevlar.

My guess is the pieces are all aluminum from the weight listed.
