It's all cute and fancy without until something bounces up underneath you undercarriage . Or even worse if roadkill splatters in there you'll be pulling hair and everything out for weeks till that smell goes away. Anyways its for protective measure as to not allow your inerds to rust prematurly. Be safe wrap it up !

That's the whole point, that they are cheap to replace. People get lazy and impatient and rip things apart and then they don't hold good anymore because they are stripped and the surface is warped. The design of those clips is actually quite good.

Mine is currently off the car and has been off (for daily driving) for about 2 months ...... if I had a high speed event .... then I put it back on.

Mine's on, but on all my previous Honda's, never had em and never had any problems with road debris etc. If you had a DC2 integra, you know how easily the plastic underpanel rips off, absolutely useless.

Same goes for me

Most cars don't have these. Debris is a non issue unless you're doing something off road. I wonder if it impedes cooling at all. It looks like it would hold a lot of heat in.
