I'm sorry but I am completely lost in your grammar and I can't figure out what exactly it is you're asking!!! I cut out the s15 core support and sold it, then I decided to make a custom core support second time around. I cut out the front flat sections of the tubs because they were too beat up to fix. I decided to keep them cut out and open rather than adding new pieces when there's no use for it! I also thought of cutting the tubs all the way out to the towers, but decided it would be too much open space for my taste.

So, in conclusion, I just left the tubs in and the cut out flat sections out! It's different than the usual tub job but who says they have to go all the way to the core support? The whole engine bay is stitched and has a tube core support, I'm not worried of any extra rigidity those flat pieces might have added if any at all!

Here is mine.
Well it definitely looks nicer than the s13 one. I might invest in one of these! Thanks for the input!
