I just noticed my front undertray is broken in half and the previous owner jerry rigged ut up with tape, anyone know where is the cheapest place to get another one? I know, I'm a newb. I'm just coming over from the honda scene, and not really familar where to get cheapest OEM parts, any tips?

 

Most people are gonna tell you to save yourself the headache and leave it off. Once you dig into the car and start swapping intercooler piping you risk blowing one off, and trying to fight that sob of an undertray, to get it off on the side of the road sucks a big one.

But....on the forums here, or a new one from the stealership.

 

+1 leave it off, its a PITA

There is another choice, I would recomend it. =)

You can also try mitsubishiparts.net.

 

so if you take it off its really no big deal?

 

Yup, looks like it's time for a Beatrush undertray

 

Well the tray has pros and cons like virtually everything else. Pros for leaving it on are, reduces lift, channels a minute amount of air to your brakes, shields your underbody. Cons are fluid changes are more difficult due to the tray taking space and when you drop something, it doesn't fall to the ground but instead to the tray...Also, Mitsubishiparts.net is your friend.

 

I was in the same situation. Half of it was missing, and what was left was mangled. I have no idea how the previous owner did it.

I decided to suck it up and get the Beatrush Undertray. Hopefully it will be here in a few weeks.

The biggest thing I've noticed - and it may be psychological - but it seems like you get more wind noise without it.

 

I would put it back on. The pros outweigh the cons in this situation.

 

I currently have mine off as well as I am waiting for my new FMIC. I will probably trim the factory piece before I shell out dough on the Beatrush or Carbing. Something will definately be down there though. A dirty engine bay, increased road noise, and possibly undercarriage damage are not on my list of upgrades.

 

buy a used one off the forums

 

keep it off!

 

I'd say get a used one or a beatrush.

Pro's outweigh the con's if you're driving the car as it should be driven.

 

I have a Beatrush aluminum undertray on mine and I love it!

It made a big difference in high speed stability, and reduced drag by a lot.
