Why not just drill some extra holes and use zipties???should be a lot faster to remove and put on.

I keep mine on, it protects the engine bay for road grime and it helps with aerodynamics.

In all honesty I doubt if you run over some **** it'll protect you, plus those pos plastic rivets or whatever you want to call them are garbage. As far as aerodynamic I doubt it does too much since its soo flexible and bends all over the place. Look under a viper and you'll see what the underbody should look like to make an aerodynamic difference.

I've been driving with mine off for about 10,000 miles. I plan on putting on the carbing undertray however.

Ha I cant believe someone typed that. JDM parts ohhn!@ Those screws suck *****, mine has been off for about 8k miles. Now that I have all the stuff done(for now)under the engine I am debating on whether its worth it to put it back on. Im leaning towards no; however winter is coming...hmm Once again those plastic pos screws suck

i'm happy with my carbing. the price was right, good quality. the only downside is you have to remove it for fluid changes, but it's only 5 bolts.

Only issue ic with carbing is that it does not fill that spot in front of the tires. After getting a cone in there and ripping out the fender lining this became a more important issue.
