Mounting up my new ProtoForm TCC body, found I had to REALLY raise the height of the body mounts. Might even have to get some new (longer) ones. TOUR rules state that running this body in 13.5 1-cell, body must be cut on the body trim lines. You can't slam this thing...LOL

Also found I had to really trim back the bumper foam to get it to fit under the valance/splitter, and it still sticks underneath a little bit, pushing up the nose of the body just a bit.

Just got my tcc body. TOUR rules call for no cutting out of the rear. The spoiler mold into the back goes about 1/8th inch above the line for the bumper. Trying to cut this to the Line would leave a mild role out on the bumper and is going to be a difficulte cut to make. Maybe this should be talked about over in the TOUR section on how much will be allowed for this.

I didn't cut out any of the rear of the body at all; cut right along the molded cut line all the way around. Doing this, I had to adjust the height of my body mounts quite a bit to get the ride height the same as my "non-CoT" body (I call it my "Late Model" body, because that's what it looks like...:)).

Once I get my GTB and 13.5, I'll do some testing with it.
