My Black Mach 1 Landed!

Question. With the way this is designed should I avoid having any undercoating applied ?

I'm don't see why the undercoating would make a difference on this issue.

Ok I wasn’t sure if it would somehow interfere with the design of these plates for air flow ?

I haven't yet taken either front or rear off yet. I assume it's from all the crappy roads around me as I hear the tires picking up stuff and all the time.
My car was only couple hundred miles away Flatrock to Chicago and delivered on a nice day so I doubt it got much from the truck ride.

It made no sense for me and some others too. No clue where they came from or how they got there. Best guess is transitioning on trains? I've driven on gravel roads and did not catch anything under plastic skid plate. It really is a weird shipping thing or so we thought. Hope you net the same result and only have to clean it up the one time.

How was your bike ride?

Yeah, it is weird.
I guess when I do the hpipe and oil change I'll check both front and rear. Clean it out and hope for the best.
Bike ride was great, trail conditions perfect! non-stop 16.3 miles, 1hr 43min. I think I was under nourished and dehydrated as the last couple miles I got really nauseas and felt sick the rest of the day.. Maybe just not used to the heat and such a long workout after the long winter.
Thanks for asking

Did you clear all that debris out when you first got the car? Many of us received our non Mach 1's with gravel in the skid plates where applicable. First time taking the front clip off was crazy how many rocks and insect carcasses fell from the skid plate. Since that first time, have had zero collection of anything.

Edit: apologies, replied to the wrong guy lol. @ChitownStang

I'm still waiting for mine.. its 60+ days out still.

It's worth the wait... ordered mine in October so I know about waiting

As my father in law always says in a slight southern draw...Shiiiiiiiiit 60 days, you can do that standing on your head!

Haha. But I'm in a different situation. My last car was totalled from being sideswiped/tboned (it was like a mix of both) and I've been walking to work. I work 10pm-6am. Winter hasnt been pleasant

I'm okay, I'm not meant to be upside down.

Hope the walk isn't too bad other than the weather. Maybe score a cheap bicycle from a pawn shop? I ordered mine and had to wait 3 months. Luckily I traveled for work to a different state so it kept me busy. The car was waiting for me when I got back.

It's a mile and a half each way. Which isnt too bad, but our homeless/junkie issue in the area doesnt make it the safest of walks. It's hard on my knee too, because I got ran over by a minivan in 2009 while riding a bicycle, and it really fucked up my leg, and tore my ACL. It feels brittle in the cold. I just try to dress warmer. It just makes me want the car that much sooner but the weather is definitely starting to pick up. So I've had to worry about it less. And I am able to get a ride to work 1-3 times out of the week.

Sorry to hear about the past but happy to hear you're making it happen anyway. Hopefully they can manage to get it to you sooner than planned.

I'm just super excited and ready to drive it already. it's about 2 months out from granger, and then I have to have it shipped to washington, so that'll be a little longer. But I know itll all be worth it.
