Aluminum undershroud installed

Props to 'Tollboothwilley' for fabricating the Aluminum undershroud I just installed. . .solid 2 piece construction (3 piece if you include the door/latch for the oil filter), 1/16" Al, fits like a glove. . .looks good, fits good, i'm happy with it. i was considering getting the CustomPartZ one. . .but the cost was pretty high, and since Tollboothwilley was local and was willing to fab up for a fraction of the price, its a no brainer. . . sorry for the not so great pics, as i didn't get my car on a full lift, just a jack stand. . .

Is oil changing procedure pretty much stays the same as it was with stock one?


You still have to unbolt the back part of it and bend it out of the way?

Looks great man, let us know how it holds up. I ripped mine right the F off, it p!ssed me off so much. I had pieces of it hanging and I'd cut it occasionally until I finally got fed up and took it completely off. I'm sure I lost about 1hp and 1lb of torque with the increased wind resistance.

Anyway PM price! Thanks!

Looks good.

Now do an oil change and let us know if it's easy to do through the small flap!

the flap is large enough for an oil and filter change out, without having to take off the whole undershroud. the flap can be easily removed with those 2 bolts. but yea, gotta actually do it to be sure, but Tollboothwilley purposely designed it that way.

you guys will have to pm Tollboothwilley for pricing, as i was just a buyer. i did get it for a great cost since we live like 15min away from each other (which means u could get a nice hook up), whcih is why i'm reallly appreciative, but rather not give out the cost since it'll likley be different i imagine if he mass produces them and starts shipping. sorry guys.

BTW, i believe he is selling them on ebay (higher cost since it includes shipping, packaging, and those wonderful Ebay charges).

That's not bad at all.

I really need to consider this. While not a bid deal, removing the shroud to change the oil is starting to be a PITA.
