Re: Underpanel opinions?

Well "X",

I have one on my 2003. I don't know how much it helps on heat of
downforce yet, I have only had it for a month and it is still cold here.
I do know that the sides of the thing are open and water off the road
can spray in and "cool the pan" if it needs it :-). It comes with some
spacers to keep it from rubbing on the pan, but I made some thicker ones
to keep the rattle away. The part extends back past the drain plug and
the hole is large enough to drain the oil with no problem. ( I have a
quick drain on the oil pan )
I have not had the car up to a good speed yet to say if it helps on aero
control like they claim. Summer is too far off to go find a place to try
that. I would guess that the "slots" would do more for cooling the oil
pan, as it sets directly behind them.
I do not have a front spoiler on my car ( air dam )

I guess time will tell on how well it works.
