So recently I must have scraped too hard coming off a driveway, and finally ripped up my undertray / splash /undershroud shield. So now its hanging down like an open mouth under the front bumper. I duct taped it up for now.

I called the place that does the work on my can generally, and they mentioned:
"i mean, some people especially in So Cal where it doesn't rain much, just take it off completely."

Do any of you just take it off? Or do you always want it under there and I should just get it replaced?

thanks,

Some members have taken their splash shields off, those don't realize Nissan installed it for a reason! It keep garbage/dirt/trash from getting into your engine compartment so your sensors/belts will last longer! Replacing anything on our cars isn't cheap! Buy new hardware, drill new holes if needed or buy a new one to keep everything clean under hood...Gary

 

How low are you? Mines off, but I'm only lowered an inch. Get a tollboothwilly aluminum under tray.

 

^^^Agreed. I'm lowered as well and keep mine on...only until I get an aluminum under tray.
Keep it there, not going to save you much weight or anything.

 

I'm tucking around on 19s so I'm pretty low and I took mine off (it actually flew off because some f**khead at jiffy lube didn't put it on correctly). I live in California so there's nothing but sun here but once winter comes around I plan on buying a new one and installing it.

 

^^^^^^ What are you doing at Jiffy Lube?

 

Had mine off for a few years, but recently installed an aluminum one to help keep the engine cleaner.

 

Lol needed oil and didn't have time to do it myself

 

I took mine off my sedan years ago. Stock ride height.

It makes it way easier to inspect for leaks, damage, etc under the car now.


Real reason i haven't put it back on is simply because......eh.

 

You know, all the workers at jiffy lube don't know what they are doing! They pretend to do work on the car and charge you for the work not done. I posted it up the big scam they did on these forums. And they are still doing it to this day.

 

 

Amazing how a company continuously gets away with this... I always ask the quick oil change places for a Used oil Sample so they have to prove they at least did something.

I safety wired my oil filter at the last one, low and behold, they actually did the change. Now they have my trust.

 

lol just remove it.

ive had mine off since the first week i had it. and i get plenty of rain, and i have a 1/4 mile rock driveway that produces tons of dust and mud when it rains. take it through a car wash every once in a while.

its not a glass car haha, and im honestly laughing at the people that think the car will break with out it.

this is also coming from 10+ years in the automotive industry, drag racing, drifting, road racing, off road pre running, rock crawls, trail rides, ect. my truck has no sort of under tray at all and has the complete lower end of the motor submerged in water. and it still runs.

remove your under tray and never look back, makes oil changes a hell of a lot easier too.

 

I've thrown mine away.

 

Mine just disappeared
