Hi Lippy,

I'm traveling so didn't see this until just now and already responded to your other thread. I won't repeat what I said in your thread but will add that I rode in a Cobra on a road that was a bit gravely and it was pretty noisy (the car was not undercoated). We were going slow - 20 miles per hour or so because of the gravel - but to me it was like fingernails on a chalkboard. I think the biggest thing to key in on is what the aluminum will look like over time. Maybe some of the guys that didn't undercoat can comment on that. I'm pleased with the outcome but will tell you that spraying undercoating wasn't my favorite part of the build!

Regards,

Kevin
