So here’s the prob, some bodies just need to be lowered to look right, some of us just like to slam our cars, either way, your gonna end up tossing out the PCB cover, but how do we hold our car together now? Most of us revert to tape. I reverted to tape. Funtional, but I just thought it looked sloppy, and even more so I hate the tape gooies, and all the dirt they pick up.

So I set out to find a solution. I like to make stuff out of Zip Zap packaging because they use so much extra plastic, and I hate to pollute our land fills. Anyways I’ve trying to work this out for a while, but I couldn’t get the back tabs to work, but then tonight I had an ingenious idea, heres what you do:

Cut a piece of ZZ packaging or similar clear plastic. I like the ZZ packageing because it is several different thicknesses throughout. I used a piece of medium thick plastic from the dome.

Hold it over your chassis, trace the basic outline with a sharpie, make the 2 front tabs extra long, and make a tab in the back that fits in the middle gap in the chassis, (see pics) you want it to be snug, so it holds the back down. When you get it all cut out bend the front tabs down then forwards.

Your done.

It’s that simple, and I think it looks alot cleaner than tape, but it still not quite as clean as stock.

Check it out:

Not bad huh?
