The SFC's have been on for two months now. The installer was kind enough to hold the drop light while I took a couple of point-n-shoot pics. Put some Extend rust inhibitor from NAPA on the welds.

Needless to say they really tightened up the car. There is less body roll in the corners.

X - looks good! I've been concerned about doing them because of fear of bad weld, burn through, etc. How difficult was it for the welder to get the power set correctly?

Thanks for posting the pics.

Thanks DaddySS. I definitely relate to your concern. Even though I felt comfortable with the installers themselves, I was still sweating bullits! The SFCs weld to the additional support GM puts on the verts. So the actual floorpan is not touched. If you go back to the pics and select "Largest" from the drop down you'll see what I mean. I had removed the floormats from the car. After the welding I felt the floor board, no heat at all. The welder had no problem setting his machine. He tacked everything in place then began welding.
