Undertray removal

Howdy all, quick question. Is removing the undertray annoying/difficult to do in any way? I'm curious what kind of effort I'm in for this weekend.

Do i need to lift the front end at all for this?

a lot of screws - you do need to lift the front end as you can't crawl in there or even reach all the screws.

i suggest you get some 2x12 (i made a cheesy ramp) and drive up on it - or you can just put jack stands for the fronts.

Lifting it up helps a lot, if your car is lowered there is no other way to do it as you wont be able to get all the crap out. I will suggest you to get yourself a flathead poker drive as well as a ratchet for the front bolts. I think i will order the SSP undertray next week and install it whenever it gets here. Tired of that plastic... and the damm push-in pins...

Just a few 10mm bolts in the front and a flat head screndriver for the rest. if they are jammed just knock the crap out and loosen them up with the butt of the screw driver...... pain in the *** to put back in tho. good luck

Thanks for the heads up.

I took a look under there this weekend and I wasn't sure which bolts / snaps need to be removed to get the entire thing off. Do i have to do the section where the oil is changed too, or are those just attached to the main undertray?

You can leave the access panels on there. They stay attached to the undertray.

Sure thing! Its a nice piece too, and at a good price. I would be rocking it for sure if my front lip wasnt all screwed up underneath.
