Well, today was it, the day i just cut it off.. In the last two weeks i have had my plastic underpanles come loose and drag on the fground, making me think i have a flat.
today was it, i was cruising and it came loose, but all of it and would keep getting underneth my tire, jerking it, so i should i have a quick flat or somthing i pull over, and almost hit the gard rail cause it went underneth my tire. So basicaly I ended up cutting it off, now the only problem is that its open and thats right where my intake filter is, do you think this will be problem. Caus ei can just put my hand underneth andfeel it. So it will be pretty exposed to water if it rains hard. i already avoid puddles and build up of the water anyways but still. |

Yeah its a problem. Mine came off a lil bit and drivng on the highway it basically shaved it down so I had to drill a new hole to keep it up. I would go buy the original equipment, it'll be easier than making anything metal, not to mention it'll be alot quieter than listening to rocks hit the metal all the time.
You may notice hearing more rocks, I did. As soon as I fixed it they stay under the car. You also dont want a rock puncturing your filter, and then getting rocks into your intake. Thats bad news. -------------------- |

Isnt it bad not to have your under body panals on? I mean they would have put it there for a reason if it does something otherwise they would have saved alot of money by excluding it. I would figure it keeps water and whatnot from the road from flying up into your engine by and rusting your motor from the bottom to top that and debris could do some serious damage down there.

[right][snapback]278111[/snapback][/right] Yeah they are important, but the spot where im talking about, theres nothing there more then my intake filter, but still important. I wont have time to fix it any time soon, but will. |
