Undershroud
 
Who's got the best/best deal on an aluminum under shroud.

I want a large oil change access as well since I have the Stillen cooler it's a little tight getting at the filter.

Zspeed?
Z1 ?
Or ?

Your best bet for large oil change access without removing the entire undershroud, believe it or not, is the OEM undershroud. Once you train the flap to hang back out of the way of the draining oil, it definitely has the most clearance.

Also, Z1 doesn't make a separate undershroud AFAIK. They just sell the ZSpeed one. The other brand I've heard of is Toll Booth Willey.

My recommendation is just get the ZSpeed one and plan to remove it entirely when you do an oil change. You pretty much have to do this anyway if you want to only lift the front of the car and leave the rear wheels on the ground when you do your oil change.

You are dealing with a bit of a "dim bulb" when engaging with that user.

Honestly, if you go through his post history you'd end up thinking he's a malfunctioning spambot.

There is one down side to the aluminium under shroud, if you bump something or bottom out/scrap hard enough to bend it, the aluminium doesn't bend back leaving your bumper bent back until repaired or replaced. It's happened to me twice now.

Your posts are not helpful and I have reported you for trolling. Try to act like an adult. As big an effort it may be for you to do this, we appreciate you at least giving it a try.

ChaseZ 07-20-2016 05:26 PM

Ordered a v2. Based on the pictures it looks like I could enlarge the opening and make a bigger cover quite easily. :tup:

Hotrodz 07-20-2016 05:37 PM

My mechanic gave me some sound advice after I installed mine. He said you might want to remove the under tray just so you can do a visual check for leak fluids and other stuff that might not be readily apparent. And he was right, I have found a couple of same leaks that never made it to the ground.

Can't argue with solid logic like that

I have the ZSpeed undershroud. I remove the whole shroud everytime I do an oil change. It gives me a chance to look at things. As far as it bending when you hit something. It does. I beat mine up during a trackday. Broke the black plastic piece under the bumper, and bent the shroud up pretty good. Got home and removed the shroud and the plastic piece. Took a hammer and hammered the shroud back into shape. Had to order a new plastic piece though.

:iagree: Exactly why you should remove it every oil change.

Please explain why. I live in the northeast, and don't see it that way.

So, since the roads are so terrible, a more durable undershroud (which protects the underside of the car - important stuff like the oil pan) is a waste of money?

You get dumber with every post. Please hurry back with a halfwit retort in the form of a dumbass meme.

No need. It already has one. Just remove the four bolts furthest towards the rear of car and fold the flap down. I used a bungee cord to hold it back while draining the oil; after a few oil changes I found it was trained such that I didn't even have to hold it out of the way of the draining oil anymore.

Try reading the other posts in a thread, fuckwit. Like the one right above your question.

Yep, that's what everyone you've ever interacted with in your whole special needs life has thought. Did you already collect all the shopping carts from the parking lot? Shouldn't you be bagging something right now?
