Where Did You Get That Under Cover?!

$5.00 says he made it!

[BARRY]

looks like he made it. fairly easy if you know what you're doing

[michgo]

cool, a park bench parts type lip spoiler for the front. diggin it

[vdubstreets]

that hardware looks nice, i kinda wanna make one myself, instead of welding those ducts i would just cut slots or air holes. How thick is that?

I don't think cutting slots would do much for ventilation. I wanted to keep things as OEM as possible so the NACA ducts were at factory locations.

IIRC the aluminum is 1/16" or 3/32"

[vdubstreets]

Maybe not as much as this but something similar.

but if you want to keep it oem looking i understand.

I agree, plus from an aero standpoint a flat underside is better for airflow under the car.

i'll so buy this if u produce it.

those edges look razor sharp! i'd be using leather gloves to install that thing. great idea though, so simple. my gf hit something the size of a softball in the mountains a few months ago and punctured a hole in the belly pan, thus blowing out her coolant pump as well. a metal belly pan would have saved her over $500.

one suggestion --- create a low spot where fluids can pool and put a drain there. my #1 gripe with the stock belly pan is that it's terrible for concealing leaks

i do understand wanting it though, from what i understand it SIGNIFICANTLY reduces under-hood temps.

[A4natomical]

^^thats nice idea about the funnel.

[absolutegtr]

car shoudnt be leaking tho

car shoudnt be leaking tho

That doesn't mean that it won't, why do you think the factory belly pan has low spots?
