Been working on this for a long time, Finally have what I beleive will be the final production piece.

This replaces the entire plastic under pan on the 350
This has a oil filter and drain plug door in which you can actually get to the oil filter thru without removing the entire shield and 12,000 bolts.

These will be made from 5052 lightweight aluminum and vented to help with under car turbulence and help vent the hot air off the radiator out under the car.
Let me know what you think

These are just prototype pieces so please over look the scratches

 

looks neat

 

Looks great and seems like you put a lot of time and effort into it.

post pics of the "final" product and on your car as well

 

Not Bad, Not bad at all. I really like the oil filter door.

 

+1 on oil filter door. Taking that whole thing off sucks

 

Nice!

 

looks really good, how long did this take you to make?

 

This looks like a really nice piece. I only have one suggestion however. As I hate things that rattle on my car, I would like to see some sort of trim, rubber stand-offs, something that would keep the pan from making noise when attached to the car. Same goes for the oil door. Gromets maybe?

Does this pan clear lower tie bars and such?

Any projected cost for this? I change my own oil so removing two fastners instead of 15-20 is much preferred.

Nice job on this. Keep us up on your progress.

 

www.RareJdm.com already has these for sale

 

The rubber comment was pretty valid...how about a silicone or rubber type trim around the areas that contact anything else?

 

Do you have a pic. with it installed?

 

i want!

 

Ya, and I'm afraid to ask how much it costs. And same for the ARC one.

OP, beautiful piece you got there!! Good job

 

I like it!!! I LOVE IT!

 

great job, I was thinking about fabbing something like this as well.

approx weight vs the OEM plastic?

 

neato! curious about rattling as well

 

Sorry I'm not too familiar with the strength of 5052 lightweight aluminum, is it greater than the original plastic? I've long since wanted to build something that will take a beating to protect the goods, even if it was like 50 lbs of steel, because those arc and others were always expensive as calin said, how much would you charge?

 

I'm interested. Any plans to have it finished? (Like painted or anodized)

 

would love to see this come to release. Plastic one looks like hell and is ripping in many places.

keep us updated

 

Will it fit a G35? I think it should like everyone else in for a price.
