'Midnight' Gets a New Tail

[BigBSBusa]

Okay, without boring you with any of the fun details I have been trying to get an undertail for 'Midnight' to replace that stock piece of crap. Actually had one, but that's a whole 'nuther story. So I took a big chance on one I saw on eBay because I didn't want to cough up the $250 for a TMH tail (again another story). I got it for $100 plus $25 shipping since the guy is in Brazil. I provided him with the color choice and he sent me an e-mail with tracking number when he sent it out. He said it might take up to 3 weeks since its International, but it arrived on Saturday (a week early). It is made out of fiberglass, so its quite sturdy, and is a replacement for the complete OEM undertail like Dennis'. Here's a pic.

How well does it line up when you put it back into the subframe, Ken ? Also nice steal on the price, and how much heavier is it compared to the stock piece ?

You get to drill your own holes, so it lines up as well as you line it up. I still have some tweaking to do, but no problems with fit.

Powdercoat, my man! Powdercoat for all pieces except the screws. Those were painted with some high temp paint.
