since my recent (july) greddy fmic install, i have trimmed and removed and put on the underbelly pan about 20 times. since the winter is here, and it is aging, it has become very brittle. it is barely hanging on by a few industrial zip/cable ties, and frankly, i am ready to get rid of it....



are there any options that i can purchase that replace it, and how much are they? i have seen a few "carbon/FG under-sweeps" advertised, and was wondering if they were the same thing.....do any of you know how much it is to replace the factory one?

I'm currently making one out of true full CF/Kevlar or a mix which would resemble the N1 facer undersweep which is just a flat pannel (people seem to like those) and might include it in a full underbody pannel kit which would seal up the entire bottem of the car, I'm still dealing with cooling issues for the exhaust system.



BTW: anyone intrested in a full underbody pannel kit?
