well, they say its got aero properties to it, but I can't really tell a difference. I don't have mine on. Things get dirtier under the hood, but thats the biggest difference I've noticed.

I don't have mine on right now. However I avoid straddling bumps in the road.
Don't really feel like losing the oil filter ya know what I mean...

I should probably mention I took off the intercooler cross pipe.
Kinda had to zip tie the power steering lines up and out of the way.
Which has been working just fine for about the past two months!

I use mine. Keeps the engine very clean. It sucks when you change your oil or if you have any kind of leak tho.

Not the brightest move, there. That's a pretty major structural piece. That's why it is still in place in the 180's... You have introduced a significant weak point, and are stressing other joints far past their design limits. If you like to turn or drive hard at all, I suggest you put SOMETHING back in place. You could go with a lighter option of aluminum if it is the weight that had you concerned, but you really should be another structural member back in place.
