Some specs on the aluminum we use Tensile strength 33,000 PSI Shear strength 20,000 PSI Thermal Conductivity 960 BTU-in/hr Elongation at break 18% There is about a 4lb difference between stock and the ZSpeed pieces. We have a local person with a prototype piece, he added the Nismo bumper to his base model and found that the stock plastic pan was over $1,400.00 so we hooked him up with ours. It has been on for quite awhile now with no issues. Another member on here with a factory Nismo we wanted to use for test fitting to make sure it fit the same has had it for the last few weeks and had it installed down at Z1 motorsports. I'm sure he will chime in if he reads this. I have had our original 370Z piece on my car for months, we have had them on 350Z's/G35's/300zx's for years now tested on the track at very high speeds and have saved more than one oil pan and likely engine in the process from track debris. If you ram a curb with it obviously you will probably damage it but it is for Aero, not a battering ram. If it gets damaged, you should fix it before it comes off. We've used what we have learned on other shields to make this the best we could, Could we have done it cheaper? Probably, but I don't cut corners or use cheap materials to save a few bucks. Hopefully this will help answer some of your questions.
