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.
