Z Speed Aluminum undershroud

justin_boy · 11-26-2018, 01:38 PM

Hey Guys,
I want to pull the trigger on one but I dont have the proper tools or space to. What kind of shop would do this? Body Shop? or can west end do something like that the next time I go?
sorry for the stupid question in advance

Any mechanic shop can do it. All it takes is a ratchet and some ramps if you want to do it yourself.

You literally only need a ratchet (iirc I used a cordless drill when I did my oil change) and a jack. Find an empty area, park, or parking lot and it'll take 10 minutes to take the existing one off and install the new one.

Yeah man this is easier then learning how to drive stick, removing a flat tire or oil change. As easy as replacing the air filters in the oem boxes. All you need is a ratchet and a 10 mm socket.

And a jack and jack stands.

If OP has access to these things, they should be able to accomplish within a half hour in a parking spot (if the space issue is garage related).

Me and a buddy did this on his Z in a Walmart parking lot. You'll be done and on your way before they even realize what's going on to come out and ask questions

DIY it along with an oil change... you have to remove/reinstall the undertray anyway.

If you don't change your own oil, take it with you when you have it done and ask them to install the aftermarket one when they are done instead of putting the OEM one back on.
