What did you do with your Z today VI (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

I hate truckers.... They are always leaving stuff in the middle of the interstate. More like their junk keeps falling off into the middle of the road. This time they got my undertray. Junk truck's and trailers are always running out of the Savannah port held together with bailing wire and spit......

The ZSpeed metal undershroud looks way nicer and costs less if I'm not mistaken.

FYI,
Just in case you don't know a dealer normally has 3 levels of pricing.

1= Full retail
2= Very Good customers
3= Employee Pricing.

You want to be at 2 or better. Some dealerships may have more levels of pricing. So, if you are a good customer at the parts counter, you get
very good discounts. Don't be a jerk. All dealerships have this pricing from Chevrolet to Toyota, etc.

It is small, but I think it is fine as long as the car is level. But if you only jack up the front of the car, not all of the oil will drain through the opening. Then that oil flows on top of the undershroud toward the back of the car making a huge mess

Happened to me. I will make a plastic sleeve to cover any oil that flows into the top of the shroud. And not really fond of jacking up the rear to level the car. I find it to be a hassle for some reason.

Not totally true...

I have the Z Speed shroud on my current (and had it on my first) 370. Removing the little panel works fine for oil changes.

Now that I am thinking about it, I think the design is a little different now and the opening is larger. Yes, I think it is true. The first one I bought and installed on my first Z worked well if the car was on a lift (and therefore level). On the ramps it made a bit of a mess due to the car being on an angle.

I bought a new shroud with my new 370 and when I changed the oil for the first time (on ramps) I only removed the little panel and I think I remember noticing that the panel was a little larger. I had no spilling or other issues.

kenchan · 06-16-2015, 04:55 PM

yah, i only use ramps when i do my oil changes so id have to remove the entire shroud.
