I took off my underbody tray after I totally destroyed it when I hit a cardboard box in the middle of the highway. I dont miss it at all...

I will try to get some pics.... Actually, my TS bumper is off the car ritht now, I can take pics of that from behind and show you where I put the foam and then take pics of the front of the KurumaZ to show ya how it is straight.

post up some pics man. I also have the foam in the center part..but if you notice there is not mounting points on the bottomside to secure the bumper to the undertray...so I got mine fasten to my ARC underbody panel since its stiff and not flexible.

yeah, I have been wanting to rip my bumper off and put foam to make it not sag anymore for a while. I've just been too busy.

I think everyone that lowers their car will loose their underbody tray at one point. I need a new one or the ARC one.

I dont miss the underbody tray, I have replaced it once before and then when it got torn up the 2nd time I said scr3w it and just left it off. I have had no issues with not having it on and it has been two years since I have had one. Once every 6 months I put her up on a jack, spray degreaser, and wash it off to clean her up under there.

To secure it to the KurumaZ (when I had it on there) I just drilled mounting holes on the bottom of the KurumaZ and used the oem mounting hardware to secure it, it worked great. Now I am happy with not having to deal with the tray at all... I do not miss it.

I'll get pics up when my wife gets home from spending money and post em up of the bumper and where to sucure the foam.

I dunno. If it is sturdier than the stock crap I am all for it. It is completely different driving without the undertray. I've had mine off for about 3 months now and I hate it. When my buddy on his GSXR 1000 rides behind me he says I make a vacuum under my car. The front feels much more unstable without it.

I heard Zack was making a replica of the ARC undertray, but haven't heard from him if this is true and or when it will be coming out.

Those actually look good from the direct from. From the side, they DO NOT. Doesn't match the wheel arch.

my buddy managed to get the stock **** off without ripping it to shreads.....so heres some shots side by side.....

the ARC **** itself it probably a tad lighter, OR it might be close to the weight of the stock shift ****
