Pics of BMR Boxed SFC's installed

Ive done searches but cant find anything! I heard that the boxed SFC's hang below the car and are visible from the side, I'd like to see how this looks to help me decide between boxed and tubular. Anyone have pics up or know of any? Thanks!

Here are some pics off the BMR website...

Boxed

Tubular

Before I got deployed I had a set of BMR tubular subframes installed and they are sweet...they literally disappeared under the car! You have to stick your head under the car to be able to see them there.

Here's mine. http://z28.reanimator.org/pics/bmr_sfc.jpg

They do hang down a little, but they're not nearly as low as my driveshaft loop or my exhaust so I didn't actually "lose" any ground clearance.

The boxed is more rigid than the tubular, and like turbo_Z said, I like the way they look.

Mine didn't look like that. Mine are both totally straight.

Thanks a lot guys, I do like the way they look! I didnt think I would. I will also definately be getting black ones because the red would stand out way too much- but the black is just visible enough to let people know that not everything is normal with your ride

My BMR boxed are straight too... I dunno WTF those pics are of, but it's not the product they actually sell. Maybe a previous revision of the product... or a third gen?!

I think BMR revised the design. b/c I have the new BMR Boxed SFCs and they dont hang down enough to even see the word BMR written on it.

oh yeah the bent one on the driver side is the new design... well not bent, but 2 pieces welded together

What I cannot figure out with the new design, is where to put the pipe and loop in order to create the driveshaft loop with the Xtreme torque arm.
