Thanks for the review, I'm also curious as to how this holds up on slammed cars.

So after having the undertray for a few days I have a couple of new thoughts.

I used to be lowered on Espelir springs. No wheel gap in front with OEM 19's. I have switched to 08 Z springs since it's such a pain to get over the 10 speedbumps just to get to work. Our speedbumps are so high, that I scrape my exhaust. With that said, I was looking at my OEM undertray and didn't have any scrape marks on it.

For the RareJDM undertray, I would suggest one thing to help improve the awesome product. Input a hinge for the front part of the tray to change belts. This will keep you from having to remove the entire undertray just to change belts. Changing or adjusting the belts is easy enough, but having to remove the entire undertray make it more time consuming.

No scraping at all now. Undertray is untouched.

It's not a priority, but it makes it more convenient. Just taking a look at another undertray that has that access. It was just a suggestion.

That's the tray I have and I like it a lot. Don't scrape, fitment is perfect, and the oil door only has 2 bolts to remove to take it off.

I don't like how the RareJDM cover seems to hang lower then the Z Speed. The Z Speed sits perfectly flush with the components in the engine bay.

i have had arc, currently tollboothwilly, and i was looking at this one becasue i loved my ARC one but didnt have an easy access door...the rarejdm has a full structural piece with oil access door. what i dont like about th tollboothwilly or zspeed is that it doesnt fit with aftermarket bumpers very well....or at last the kuruma because of how low it sits...i have to flip over the front attachment for it to actually reach down to the bottom of the kuruma...good thing its poly and able to flex some as well...will take a pic and show once i get a chance.

my ARC mounted perfectly with the nismo and kuruma front without any issues! thats my opinion about z-speed or tollboothwilly
