    Weird- When you buy an R you get all the "S" stuff you cant use, unless it is the S stuff you want to make templates from.

    I was told this morning that the R has NO interior aluminum and thus I did not not get any, they even verified this by going out in the shop and looking at the R they have.

    Did you get an R with their "new" outside aluminum side panels? (where your side intrusion plates go). If you did get those side pieces, I can see why they would not send you the interior ones the early R guys got. With side intrusion plates, you really do not need them.

    I'm not using the interior rear side pieces on either side (near the seats- too sharp and useless- Plus I bent the firewall an additional 10 degrees so they wont fit. I'm just going to use scrap to close it off.).
    I only used the deadpedal and associated aluminum on each side.

    Yes I did and I will use those on the inside (I have to modify now that I have exterior intrusion panels. My issue is that I don't want anything exposed or places my feet, arms, legs, etc. can get stuck so I'm trying to cover up as much as I can. My major gripe is trying to understand what comes with an R, what am I to expect so I can plan and not run into these delays trying to figure if I'm missing something, I have to make something or I'm just stupid and don't understand.

    All you folks have been very helpful on this forum as I would not have been able to get as far as I have without you all.
