So who else here run RS4 ICs with APR hoses and a W8 Belly pan?
I need to figure out a way to make the ICs sit higher up because they push the belly pan down and that bottoms out often. Yes I am changing my suspension next week to give me a little more ride hieght but I would like to have the belly pan sit flat without cutting out sections under the ICs, I'd rather have a belly pan get damaged over the ICs.
My thought was to grind out a small section from the core support but the ICs may hit the bottom of the headlights if they go up to far.
Has anyone got a good solution for this?

W8 pan is hard to shape with heat gun. I did this over a year ago and one side hold pretty good

but other one was damaged on a rails of the car wash, so it is kinda falling apart now. Danska vodka bottle is actually very thin, I might use something else next time.

Hmmm, this at least gives me some ideas. I don't think the heating will work with that thick of
plastic. I def have plenty of scrap metals at the shop. I fab something up.
