[DML] Pre-production car feature: rear lower spoiler/panel.

["John Dore" <dmcjohn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

In the pre-production DeLoreans (or at least some of the pre-
production cars), they had an additional fiberglass panel under the
rear fascia, which would mask the view of the frame of the car from
behind. You can see it in the following picture:

I'd like to know why this feature did not make it onto production
DeLoreans? Looking under my car, it is clear that the space is still
there for it, even mounting holes.

Was it a problem with it warping due to exhaust heat? Or was it
restricting hot air from leaving the engine compartment, causing
overheating?

James, do DMCH have any samples of this panel in stock? Has anyone
ever thought of having it made?!

I think it looks nice...

Thanks,
John
