Custom Undertrays

[FattyBoomBatty]

No ABS plastic sheets? I think Polypropylene would be good, I have some speakers that use that for the cone, it seems to me it would be a great material for an underbelly tray.

The thing is, even if you had a metal tray, if you hit something that is oblong and "tumbling" down the road, depending on its solidity, mass, it would punch a hole right through thin metal. It seems to me that the greater purpose this tray would serve is for aerodynamics, plus shielding from smaller stones and things of that nature, rather than the huge, random piece of flying debris that you hit.

I also want to get one of these, but that plastic or poly sheet from grainger posted above looks perfect for me.

ABS won't work at all, it is way too brittle. Polypro is a possibility, but is pretty stiff and brittle also. UHMW is not brittle and takes a lot of abrasion. I am sure Buschur's are plastic and probably pretty brittle in the cold weather (most cheap plastic is), down south you could get away with a lot more.

I wouldn't want to use a plastic undertray in any case, considering the close proximity to the down pipe. Unless it was something proven to be resistant to the heat.

Just do a little cut away for the DP. Worst case scenario is that it would droop down a bit in that area, but I doubt it. Wrap it and it would definitely be fine.

Ok, I finally FINALLY got this done! I was going to order the buschur undertray at $175, but UPS got sick of shipping them for a 'mere' $75 and upped shipping charges to freaking $200. So, I decided to just get the beatrush undertray and get it done. In the end, I'm SUPER happy with it. MAP got me a killer deal on it, and with some minor modification I got 2 bags of dzus fasteners from kurveygirl.com to fit nicely. These are nice 1/4 turn fasteners used on airplanes, motorcycles, and now evos :)

Oil change = 4 fasteners
Tow hook = 4 fasteners
Whole tray drop = ~10 fasteners

I'm very impressed with the undertray; definitely a great piece which I'll be getting once my stocker gets all busted up.

Those looked pretty nice when they came in, glad to see some pics of them on and being put to good use

Yah, you need to consider heat and airflow as well as water drainage.

This is why the Beatrush is so far superior to Buschur's in my mind. Buschur's is great for a drag car since its smooth and extends so far rearward, but for a daily-driven street car its lacking in many regards.
