The car comes together more and more man, can't even say how jealous i am of that damn lip kit! But hey, to fix your mic problem Tom, you just need something to cover it. I think you said that the mic is built in to the camera, its not separate right? Cotton should work, just something really porous to let the sound through but cut the wind.

I see ppl talking about the videos, but i cant seem to see them. 
Can anyone repost or post a link. Also for a camera mic, can you extend the cable and put the mic inside the cabin?

that suckscompared to the hot gases just going straight past the bumper (yes the heat does radiate some, but that is alot easier to say fix with a little high temp CF or something [look for CF exhaust cutout covers, some cars they do make them for]
something such as this...

and then for that front lip, get it fixed, then put some angle aluminuim or something behind it to brace it, cause probably what happened is that the wind was just pushing it down far enough for it to rub through (and it only got worse as the lip got closer to the ground, with it being pushed down further)
and then i wounder if the same thing happened to the owner that had trimmed his center section out

another way to help prevent it from happening again
DIESEL exhaust tips (for the ones with the dpf's; and i don't think scavenging a set from work would be too hard for you either
)

Bummer..Just drop the exhaust slightly, i have 1/4 inch or so gap on mine and it is just fine. Tips just need to extend flush at min to keep the bumper from melting.

i had the stock tips welded on to the magnaflow. the tips were touching the lip and starting to melt it. so i cut them off. it started melting on a 45min drive home (made it in 25 lol) so there had to be so really hot exhaust gasses coming out. lesson learned

the temp of the exhaust pipe didnt melt it. it was the temp of the exhaust gas. ill be running a diff set up so it wont happen again. paint won't do anything. Just there to make something look pretty and high temp paint won't burn off

well, since my oem front sub frame was bent, i found an auto front sub frame for hella cheap but i couldnt use the ETD bc the auto sub frame didnt have the mounting plate for it. so this is what i came up with. hopefully it doesnt crack the trans

ETD mounted

I didnt see where he said it was a mockup
Def get two holes supporting the bracket.
If you also have the opportunity, look at adding one up near the heads. The engine acts like a pendulum as it revs, so if you support it at the end as opposed to the base, you'll substantially decrease the excess movement.

being a 3g tranny though, so yes a factory mount does mount there on a regular basis, but as others have said, you need both hole tapped and bolts in them (that factory one mounts to both)btw i like how you used the battery mount bolt on the chassis end lol
edit: never mind re looking at the photos, i think you are missing that extra mounting boss that the 3g has
