Rare JDM Aluminum Under Panel Installed REVIEW

Let me just say that this is one quality piece of construction. Very well made.

As you can see next to the flimsy, OEM under tray, it's solid. Allows you to easily access the oil filter and drain plug which saves time from having to remove the whole under tray. I use a lift to change my own oil and never remove the entire under panel anyways, but for the normal DIY-er without a lift, this is big help. Look at the difference between the OEM oil passage opening compared to the Rare JDM opening. The Rare JDM under panel also eliminates the OEM plastic feeler lip.

The rear bolts uses 2 spaces on each side.

Fitment: 9.5/10 There are two holes one each side that just wouldn't reach. It's off about a 1/4". Either way, it isn't going anywhere.

The only thing I'm worried about is accidentally scraping the under panel. Only time can tell on how it absorbs normal day to day abuse. Since it bolts up to other plastic panels attached by Nissan infamous retainer clips, I'm afraid it may rip out other panels if I were to severely damage the under panel from normal road abuse. I'm not dumped, so we'll see.

If your wondering why I got I Fram filter, my OEM Nissan filter leaked and spilled oil all over my OEM under panel 2 days before the meet. Ran to Wally world, and put this one on for now. Nissan and other part stores were closed and didn't have a spare. Big whoop. I'm due for a change in 100 miles anyways. Never really had a problem with the more expensive Fram filters on my beater car. It'll do for now. k thx bai! Trust me, that filter is will be gone soon since I actually do track the car.

You do know the Nissan filter is also a fram filter in disguise right?

I usually get what ever is on special with Castrol Syntec, but if its fram I would skip on it. I only buy Wix,Purolator,Bosch,K&N, and M1 filters. Reason? they are quality filters.
