it should work fine with the Nismo v2 front bumper. Have a Nismo v2 front bumper and I still have the OEM plastic pan. From the looks it bolts right in place of the OEM.

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.
Excellent, cant wait!

G35 coupe with APS oil pan + quick oil drain valve (too low?) and without any undertray currently makes me nervous.

The first production piece is on its way to Washington for a test fit with the GTSpec front tie bar. After that they will be ready to go.

I also had a chance to weigh a production piece today on a digital scale.
Only 4.5lbs total weight! I do not have a front OEM shield to weigh but I bet its pretty close if not heavier than this one.

Look for me in the vendors area mid next week!

Curious as well, I have the AAM oil pan spacer, does this clear with oil pan spacers?

There should be enough room for it.

I will have to check and see how much clearance between the stock oil pan has with the shield in place. Pretty sure there is more than an inch there. I am sure if it is close to it the shield could be massaged to clear.

They will be $249.00 + ship for the intro price.

Should start making them next week, Just waiting on Alvin to test fit with the GTspec Tie bar after that I will post in the vendors section.

I can get a measurement of clearance with the stock pan in place. I don't have access to a car with either of what you mentioned so i have no way of really knowing for sure.

Does the pan hang lower than the bottom of the cross member?
