The stuff you are seeing in the yellow area is a rubbery plastic material. It can be trimmed with a stout set of scissors.





Once I get Rev 2 on, I'll look more closely, but I havent seen any down side short of the low radiator and the wiring harness running UNDER the pass body mount (green arrows). The radiator becomes a non-issue with a skid plate, since it is still higher that the A-arms and cross member. Sliders cover the body mount. Otherwise I am quite impressed with the 2005. Everything is generally tucked up nicely and quite beefy.
