His work can be found under the "Looking for a custom painter" thread in this forum. The pictures of his work speak for themselves, they are amazing.

I got some scrap plexiglass from a guy here at work. It is about 3/16th thick and looks to be very durable. He uses it for outdoor signs. It won't take me long to fab these up in the garage with the dremel. Besides, I like tinkering and making my own stuff when I can.
I made a bunch of skid plate/reinforcement parts for my SC10 out of aluminum sheet. For the price I paid for the aluminum sheet, I could have easily just bought a product off the market, but I've used that sheet for other stuff too, so it is all good.
Only time will tell if these end up holding up or not.

For cheap durable mud guards. On my 8ight I have different thicknesses of lexan that you can tie into your paint job, and they hold up great. You get a 8x10 I think sheet of it, starts at $2.50.
Ill post pics of the body as soon as its available. All the online places I go to are out, and all my distributors are sold out at my work. If anyone comes across the Proline Shift D8 body let me know please.

Has anyone tried the Xtreme Racing D8 Carbon fiber mud guards?
In the past I have not paid much attention to the skid guard discussion on this thread.
Can someone post the available options for our Vorzas?
Also, is anyone interested in seeing my updated setup sheet chart based on the latest Ve8 and D8 setup sheets found on the web?

I'm picking up a cheap pair of Dynamite Hot Laps "Autocross" 1/8 Mounted Buggy Tires [DYN7986] in order to test ESC programming changes on the street out front of my house.

Ryan,
The body looks good. I would put foam on the body or the side guards to take up the space between the chassis and body. You know the foam for around doors that have tape on one side. If not all the dirt and rocks will fill up the chassis from the front tires. Other then that it looks like you found yourself a winner.

I run sticky back velcro around mine, provides a good seal and also ensures the body doesn't move.

For the D8 body, there is no gap if the body fits on the chassis perfectly (smaller battery). With my battery I have a gap on one side on the front driver's side corner.
For the MP9 body, there is an even gap (front to back) of about a quarter inch on both sides. Should I be concered with the gap?

Oh well, I did get instant satisfaction, so I guess that is worth the extra money -- NOT. They actually work pretty well. They will be slippery at first, but watch out, once you wear off the first layer and get them warm, they hook up pretty good. I went from sliding and drifting to flipping over all in the same run.ben
