I'm not good at fabricating stuff. Much rather work with electronics, lol. Plus, I want it there when I arrive at home, don't want to waste any more time not driving, I haven't driven the Z in nearly a year, I just want to enjoy it right away. Of course, if someone on the forums makes one, I wouldn't mind paying for it, lol.

Do you feel any difference anywhere? High speeds, at the track, anything? I doubt it.

its mainly to create a uniform underside to match/seal off my aftermarket bumper-

it didn't feel any more loose or had any adverse affects so i know that its at least the same as the OEM undertray.

on the track it felt fine...

You should check out the FI forum. XKR and some other people are working on making a underbody diffuser piece that will work in conjunction with the Top Secret rear diffuser.

I believe you're referencing https://my350z.com/forum/forced-indu...ch-1-a-42.html.

Cool thread, all kinds of ballers in there.

Let me know if anybody starts making these for a reasonable cost, my factory undertray has seen better days.

Edit: Looks like Cheston beat me to it anyways.

I know it's been a long long while since this post, and undertrays had become a little more acce$$ible.. but I'm a DIY man.
By any chance, do you have the hole positions/measurements?
I'm planing on laser cutting it.
I can upload a 3D model afterwards.
