Here you go fellas. Got the prototype installed on the Z today. Very quick and clean install.

Install of the actual underbelly took about 15 min. It's plug and play.
Just a quick note. My OEM underbelly was completely torn off when I hit something in the road. I did some trimming of the jagged edges of the original piece to clean it up. So there may be some missing OEM plastic in the PICS. BTW...I know my bumper is FUBAR.

The guy is really concerned about the fit and finish of his product. He wants to make a functional piece that is also eyecatching(if you are under the car) I personally think he pulled it off both.

I have not heard one rattle since the install. Very snug fit and the clearance is perfect. Doesn't hang too low when you travel over speed bumps.

Joe...Congratz on a hell of a product.

PICS:


FITTING:





FINAL FIT:



NOTE: There will be two bolts on each side of the Oil Filter Door access panel. There is one bolt in the center on the prototype.

I'm sold... if you make one in stainless, I'll take one of those. If not, I'll take an aluminum one.

Freakin SWEET... My OEM is done... don't know what happened but it's barely hanging on so this couldn't have come at a better time. I know mine is gonna scrape cuz I'm lowered and hit on almost every driveway but now I just gotta figure how to get it to work with my Origin front.

Looks like it'd get mangled up in no time. 250$ is too steep for me looks great though.

It has more ground clearance than the OE piece.
Another great thing is if you happen to damage the front part on a parking block by accident since this is a 2 piece design, it can be replaced without replacing the entire shield. The front piece will not cost much if you have previously bought the entire unit from me.

5052 aluminum is very stout and will take quite a beating.


For the people that were asking about G35 fitment, the rear part is identical, I am going to modify the front for the G and it will be available shortly after the 350 pieces are done.

The stock plastic ones go for $120, so if you think this is expensive, imagine paying half that for plastic which will be guaranteed to eventually rip off, atleast this one looks like it will last as long as the car itself.
