^^Andrew 3k for a full under body is pretty reasonably. Only problem I see is that it's made out of carbon and once its cracked you will cry lol. Full under body is worth it when you have maxed out all other down force option. You see s2000s with wings and splitter. You don't see s2000s only with a full under body without other downforce. In my opinion you really don't need the under body for a street car.

Finished up my alumalite splitter and aluminum dam. It is reinforced and flush to the front jack point so that you can jack up the front of the car with the splitter still attached. It extends into the wheel cavities, completely covering the LCAs from the airstream, and extends back to the rear subframe brace. I'm going to order a couple more turnbuckles to add a little more stability, but I can stand on it already (I weight about 200 pounds). There's a couple turnbuckles hidden on the far edges inside the bumper, and DevSport mounts in the middle. I briefly tested it up to 70 MPH but haven't had it on track yet. Probably spent about $350 for all the materials, hardware, and a hand-riveter.
We'll see how temps do on track. I have another hood to vent but haven't gotten around to it yet. There's adequate uncovered area at the rear of the bay to exit air, and I removed the bay-to-fender plastics so hot air can exit through the fenders. I blanketed the header to help a bit. But the oil pan is still partially covered from free air so we'll just have to see how it does without an external oil cooler. You can also see the chassis-mounted APR-250 poking up in back there. Next projects are front tire dams and splitter endplates, larger wing endplates, diffuser, and then tying it all together with a full flat-undertray with active cooling for the transmission and diff.
Just HPDE here, so no rules to worry about. Just having fun with the process.

If ur NA u shouldn't have problems with heat. Before I upgraded to Mishimoto rad, I was running oem rad on track days with temps over 105 in summer at Buttonwillow Raceway.
