That thingy plastic that sits under fenders? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #29786 7 posts Started by soulshadow
Ok, im wondering if you guys who bodykitted your car still kept that plastic thingy that sits under the fenders and front bumper. I think its there to prevent dirt from getting into the engine bay. I'm having troubles putting it back on after my swap so I just ditched it. Any suggestions? >smile.gif>
you should be fine ditching the plastic. its mostly for those of us who get snow so you don't get salt all up in the engine bay
Mine is currently falling off. :x Haven't gotten around to actually taking it off though.

well those panels are also used to help channel the air around the engine and can effect the drag of the car...if u leave them off there are more things for air to catch on in the engine bay and cause drag. not like are cars are ment to be perfect anyways but it can help a little .....gas milage too:\
wait am I thinking the same thing as you guys? We're talkin about those stupid lookin stock skirts right? Wow... My bad... I read the entire thing wrong... Okay Im dumb... LOL
