Any mod "can" f*ck things up... some make it more of a possibility. If you're saying running no under tray, it may not cause any problems, but the car is less aerodynamic without one. They put one on there for a reason

it can yes...there are reasons for undertrays...undertrays assist with debris in roads which could puncture your block, cut tires, and so forth.......water going into the engine bay can cause what happened to roy and a 150.00 undertray or 80.00 fender liner has now cost him 700.00

^^^^+1 to this post above and some of the other things I have stated. most who lower there cars add the aluminum for more protection since your OIL Pan sits right there in plain view that can bust, lose oil, and blow your motor....all for 150.00 bucks.

knock on wood....not just water will do it....wait until that one day you hit something or something comes out into the road..animal of some sort late at night....hell it can be anything that just adds another level of protection to hopefully prevent anything serious.

Roy didnt think he would have a problem...had to drive the car in the rain and hit a deep puddle that you couldnt see.

i understand the risk involved and why it makes sense to have one i just have yet to have any problems without one, i tend to stay away from the sides of the roads and areas puddles form +i'm not slammed

I have a aluminum undertray. Once again the reason I don't post on here is because it's too many people worrying about what I do with my money.
