Get one. The first, and one of the best, upgrades I ever installed on my '08. Only the genuine one from Z-Speed, not the eBay knock-off. Huge difference in quality for a tiny difference in price.

Do you know if these clear the bigger dia. front sways like Hotchkiss? I've got a ss undershroud that a few of us had a G owner fab up for our Zs/Gs and it is nice, but when I went with Hotchkiss sways it rubbed/wore some of the bottom of the swaybar; never rubbed the stock swaybar. I just put the stock one back on as the ss one now sits.

In terms of performance, none, really. But, they're infinitely more durable than the crappy vac-formed OEM plastic undertray, which will eventually shred at its bolt holes and start to drag on the ground. It's also more protective of the underside of the engine bay, and either tray is necessary for proper air flow through the a/c condensor and radiator. And, oil and filter changes are much easier. See that little trap door at the back? Take one bolt out, and you've got full access to your oil drain and filter while the tray remains in place. Finally, it looks great.

One more thing, it also provides more rigid support for the front bumper, which really is needed at the bottom edge, and isn't provided by the OEM plastic tray.

I was reading about it and it "does" clear the larger swaybars, vents air through oil pan area for better cooling and these also can help the radiator be more efficient at least some; I like the stiffness that they provide to the bumper area.

This is one of those mods which just doesn't have a downside.
