I wouldnt really bother buying a new one unless you want to have it on there that bad.

 

ave you ever broken one? i have and its fiberglass.

 

I agree

 

it has a fiberglass core atleast

yea.. mines gone now.. oh well huge loss

 

any chance that thing is there to protect stuff from kicking up into the serpentine belt?

 

It's there to make sure Americans who don't know anything about cars can keep spending $100 to replace that "essential" part when it keeps breaking. Mine's sitting in my trunk. I didn't want to put it on after I changed my oil, and I think I'll keep it like that.

Besides, IT ADDS AIRFLOW UNDERNEATH THE CAR AND COOLS THE TURBO!

 

I had mine off for a while but when it snowed and I went snow drifting I put i back on because I didn't like all the snow packing in underneath. When it warms up again I'll probably take it back off after an oil change.

 

Its there for a reason. To protect your engine from water and whatever else is on the road. Trust me I have replaced many altinators on cars because of missing splash guards and belly pans.

 

wow guy.. nice post aboutamericans and cars. im sure if it werent for the US you probally wouldent be around right now. have you ever noticed up until recently american cars diddent have those belly pans so we could cool down those huge big block chevys?Has it ever crossed your mind that some of the most infamous, powerful, ***-stuck-to-your-seat performance cars were born in America? I love audi's too, but dont ****** dis me, my countrymenand my home.

 

I broke my oil pan hitting a chunk of ice last winter through the plastic belly pan. Who knows what would have happened with it off.. if anything different. Nothing some good ole JB Weld didnt fix.
