Interest in aluminum custom front undertray replacement?

zmc571 · 03-23-2017, 11:54 AM

Definitely interested, but just one quick question, do you guys think that these undertraies are really worth replacing? I lived in an area where the road condition is not prime, these plastic piece just keep getting ripped off all the time. Thanks everyone

Well that's why we want aluminum... it will sit higher and be more durable... hopefully with one of these you wouldn't ever need to replace again.

bmwfst1 · 03-23-2017, 01:07 PM

i am interested as well. mine got ripped when i got stuck because of my throttle actuators and i had to trailer my car home.

I'm in pending price and fitment...

ra2289 · 03-23-2017, 08:05 PM

Depending on when these are available, and price, I'll be in. I already have aluminum corners that a buddy of mine mocked up but they don't have the best fitment and wouldn't mind replacements for those as well as a center section.

Turner Prototype...I (we) need this asap!!!

I'm interested.

TVMA Doc · 03-24-2017, 04:49 PM

Depending upon how much this will cost, I'd be interested. I put one of these on my S2000 and it has probably saved my bumper from a few overly ambitious speed bumps, etc.

Interested in replacements for felt parts, not the lip though.

dfeng · 03-26-2017, 07:55 PM

Interested as well, subscribed for updates.

I am interested. Please keep me posted. Thank you.

Can I buy this yet?

Level3 · 03-27-2017, 09:23 AM

Not yet... hopefully in the next couple of weeks. Need to get fitment tweaked and then get best price to have these things produced. Shouldn't be too much longer.

Agreed.
And I wonder it the side pieces move up and down like the stock pieces.

Are we talking ~$300?

Just an update... had blowbackpolicy bring his car in to test fit a mock up and it went pretty well... a few tweaks to be made but we should have a prototype in the next few days. Here are some pics.

admranger · 03-31-2017, 04:25 PM

Any chance you could do louvers for the venting? Might actually move more air out of there.

Please ensure your piece seals up tight against the oil cooler (re-use stock seal perhaps?). It's important to force the air through the oil cooler, not let it flow around it.

VictorH · 03-31-2017, 05:48 PM

Another thing to think about would be an option to place a splitter bolted to the aluminum under tray, would be pretty stout (but it would be at risk from curbs, might really screw things up if you bumped it with any force).

330iToy · 03-31-2017, 08:06 PM

I was under the impression that the two pieces that hang lower then the splitters on both sides serves as aero parts for down force. Plus air flow. Is that wrong? The ones that always break off. This setup does not have them. BMW wind tunnel tests every part. I am in, but it has to be a low price. Strength is great, but losing something at speed is not. I know everyone keeps it under 100 mph, right.
