it looks great , it kinda bothers me as every single person that sits in the passenger seat asks me what the bump is lol
but still i wouldnt do so much work just to get rid of it , who cares about what the passengers think

If you look at the stock crossmember (pictured is an automatic transmission one, but they still follow the same shape/height) you can see how different it is compared to my modified one. The cross member bolts into the frame rail piece that we modified. As a result, the cross member needed to be modified since the floor/frame was lowered.
Stock and steep:
Modified and not as steep:
Does that make sense???
Like I said time and time again, I did this mod because I wanted to. It didn't cost me much money and I am very happy with the results. I don't care what people think who sit there, I just wanted to do it.
Thanks for the comments

Not really. There is a large brace about 10" wide that the trans crossmember bolts to. I would like to see how you modified it since there is alot of stress applied to this section of floor. Your pics do not show how the brace was modified.
If you look at this picture, you can see the structural frame rail. I don't recall the initial shape of the frame rail, but it would have followed the controur of the floor...

Here is an installed M6 cross member on PatG's old car
You can see how steep the cross member is. Mine is more flat and is probably equal to the driver side floor. Obviously the floor sheet metal is closer to the ypipe now, much like the driver side. Note the ribs in the frame rail where the cross member bolts to, that is the same piece you see in my picture that was modified that is painted with etching primer.

I didn't do the actual metal work. A friend of mine did. But this will explain what had to occur.
-The yellow line is the existing passenger floor
-The red line shows the new position of the passenger floor, approximately the same height as the driver side floor
-The white line shows why the cross member needed to be modified- to bolt to the repositioned frame rail (red) on the passenger side

Sorry, but this is no help. I already know what you modified hence, why I am reading this thread. I want to see it!! The floor brace that you cut up is heavy guage and I want to see how you modified it. Pictures, pictures, pictures, then it is Sticky worthy.
