The only problem I have came across from not running with my under tray is an oil leak. I guess I hit something and now one of my oil lines coming from my oil cooler is leaking.

DONT drive without the undertray on. jack up your car and take a good look at what its suppose to protect. You definetly do not want rocks, dirt coming into contact with those parts. Any parts that have greece on it without some sort of protection from rocks and crude is a very bad idea. Take a good look and you will see what im talking about.

I would suggest putting the tray on during winter so its safe from all the ice and salt, and take it off during the summer for mods and stuff.

Fellas, the beatrush undertray is easy to remove / replace. It's a good compromise --- AND it's got an access panel for the jack point. Super easy!

+1 Only negative I have is the allen key bolts, they strip very easily. I would recommend changing them out for normal nut and bolt.

My aftermarket lip got damage, so I ran without an undertray..My tires ate my wheel lining after one session of runing without it.. I personally would not take it off..

Anyone got pics of the beatrush underpanal w/ a AMS fmic? Looking into purchasing it along w/a JDM rear. I remember reading somewhere here that the Buschur fmic didn't fit well w/the Beatrush.

Are you serious? All you have to do is smack the undertray a few times with your hand and it will fall off the back.

If you are mechanically retarded and can't turn a few screws then you might as well keep it off. It only takes me less than 5 minutes to remove or install it.
