Default zspeed aluminum undershroud question...

I need to get a new undershroud after I bottomed out on the interstate and ripped my OEM one off and was going to get a zspeed aluminum one. one question though. when it ripped off my old one it broke a few tabs, their on there still but it split the hole the screw goes in to. will the z speed SECURELY stay on there without any problems? thanks guys for all your help

If it ripped a hole through the bumper holes themselves you will have nothing to screw the undershroud into.

How many did you rip out? If only one or two, don't worry about it since the undershroud is very sturdy and I often run it without putting all the screws in without issue.

Pics would be helpful just so that we're on the same page

Thanks for posting those, yeah looks like you've torn out the pieces that attach to the front of the bumper.

How many are missing? you might be able to still mount it as long as you can mount at least 2-3 of the fronts

I'm pretty sure all of them are broke on the front :\. All the other ones that connect to the black pieces are good though I'm pretty sure. Is there anyway around getting a new bumper you think?

The clips that come with the shield (if you order the hardware kit with it) will normally catch the sides of the slots and still hold it securely. You can also put the front part of the shield on "top" of the bumper and bolt it through if they are really torn up.

Don't want to thread jack, but since on the undershroud topic. Does anyone have this on a Long nose front bumper preferably with a splitter? I am trying to see if this will fit on my new bumper before I purchase it. Thanks

If your longnose will work with an OEM shroud , this will work fine.

Which bumper? We have made a few custom ones of the INGS with an adjustable front portion so it will reach. It is an extra charge though.
