Aftermarket undertray Q

I have an aftermarket undertray (I belive it is a Beatrush) and I was curious if installing this was only for track events or could it be used for daily use? It is a large piece that would provide some decent protection but I just want to be sure.

I'm not sure why you think its only for track events but its ok to leave on all the time.

Plenty of people use them on their daily drivers; the metal panel provides great winter protection.

The undertray isn't there for protection. It's there for aerodynamics.

The EVO IX comes with an undertray stock. That should tell you something about day to day use.

Protection is a great benefit though which is important in the northern climates. Without a tray the oil filter and crank pulley are exposed to a good ice chunk bashing.
