"Undertray" and "easily removable" don't go together.

like i said here is my zr1 splitter after hitting a piece of concrete today that was sitting up a little more then other pavement, it was really nothing insanely high or i would have avoided it like the plague, now i have this, luckily i got the pieces that broke off and i am actually going to be able to mend it together to look pretty decent will probably end up painthing it flat black though

have only had it on for a week and a half seemed like my apr splitter did take a little more abuse but that is just a carbon overlay on fiberglass

oh man was i pissed when it happened

i still have the apr splitter also i uninstalled it since i went to road america and the front bumper cover had opened up as in the videos above and scraped a hole in the middle of it by the front edge, so i need to fiberglass and repair that. not sure what one i will put back on the car. after the repairs are made to both.

I have installed the front bumper reinforcement since then so i know that will help out.

found one on ebay it comes out of claifornia 199.00 free ship zr1 style might flex at high speed but im only looking for a certian look not planning on doing 200 mph
