Re: plastic under engine

My car has never had those. They are not needed and just get in the way.

Re: plastic under engine

You can get rid of them or you can order new ones. All new ones will run you around $70.

Re: plastic under engine

Yep, from the dealer. You can try a local dealer as that would save on shipping.

Re: plastic under engine

I would try to keep as much of that plastic in place as you can. Either fix it, or replace. Its key to your aerodynamics and engine air flow.

Re: plastic under engine

the good of that piece: it does protect against something from the road hitting(breaking) something with your engine

the bad: oil won't drip down, so if you have an oil leak you won't know it till you change you oil.

the eh: not really sure if does all that much for aero, maybe at true high speeds, but average DD'ing i don't think it would. though i'd still love to see a video of a stealth in a wind tunnel

Re: plastic under engine

I've had most if not all of the plastic down there removed as well and never had a problem. I'm not necessarily recommending it, but I took off my wheel well when I replaced the oil cooler and never put it back on. The front active aero I ripped off pretty much the first week I had the car (speed bump mod, iirc). And if memory serves me correctly half of the plastic under carriage has been off for awhile as well. No problems thus far.
