Looks great Todd. Glad it's working well for you.

The DEI floor and tunnel shield is nice stuff, we use quite a bit of it. Another product that a customer turned us onto is called Armaflex. It's available in sheet form and is 1/2" thick closed cell foam with an adhesive back. It's also moisture resistant so it's great for automotive use.

A lot of people have run the coolant hose through the front crossmember instead of under it. I haven't heard of any issues. We typically weld in aluminum 1.25" stubs so the hose connects on each side of the crossmember. It looks nice and is easy to do. Just make sure you have the angles right the first time. It's a real pain to fix if they are welded in wrong. If done properly I doubt there would be an issue just running the hose right through the web of the crossmember, but you may sleep better at night with it welded.
