yes they made it one piece so i guess you could say it's molded. although my idea of molded is like it wouldn't like a lip anymore

It ripped off bc the bolts didn't hold or the plastic ripped? If it tore off then more reason to get the metal undertrays. I mean if the "lip" part of the bumper isnt getting ravaged I don't see why the undertray would

Clips? Should be push pins or bolts attaching the tray to the car. Honestly Idk bout the z but the g has over 10 bolts around the bumper n frame attaching the tray to the car. Z should be very similar no?

buy the Zspeed or ebay version that are metal and not plastic which tears...because without the undertray the bumper has alot of play above 80...seriously bad jojo

ebay/amazon has those parts cheap...

I have the undertray and it's great...the plastic fender liners however are still flimsy....I lost one on the highway the other day while at three digits. I'm in the process of making a thin sheet metal version.

it just looks unfinished without.

Just get the tinted ones from the Z Store. Look sharp and match the blacked out look.

The bolts to the bumper were all replaced with zip ties and the clips "plastic push pins" were half missing. And I have clear reflectors I'm gonna put on when it's warm I just don't feel like messing with it when there is -15 degree wind chill outside. But thanks guys!
