Frame connectors ...pics inside

I just got frame connectors installed from a local speed shop...they build them onsite and install them...cost me $375 CDN ($250 USD). I am really pleased with them. They fit nice and snug under the car following the floor pans lines. What do you all think?

Looks like a nice job. Definitely got a very clean undercarriage there.

are those bolted in or welded, i can't tell. if they're bolted, you may have a problem with the holes elongating over time and should have them welded in.

if you're going to tack it anyway, you may as well just fully weld it in so you know that nothing detrimental will happen

those look just like mine. mine only cost me $65 for material too. and everything is 1/4" thick, a little more heavy but ALOT stronger.

Vey nice.
