I've always thought the beatrush was a better design and makes everything easier. I hated the stock plastic one so much I left it off completely after the 1st time I removed it on both of my Evo's.

also wanted to try this but never got the chance. the reason i put back my stock undertray is to keep the engine bay cleaner and because I read somewhere here i think it was GST that with the undertray on he notice that his transmission is 8-10 F cooler that without it.

I was thinking maybe like these ones. Or they also have ones that can be riveted on. I might have to pull off the underpanel and see how many of each style are needed.
