Ok i dont know if you guys know what im talking about but since i got a body kit put on the plastic peice that sits underneath your car directly underneath the engine. Its plastic to prevent water and such to get in your engine i guess. Now my question is it really doesnt fit my my new front bumper. I have an injen intake as well. Can i just take this off ?? would it damage my ride ?? and would it be safe to have my intake free from air like that ??

yeah... pulled mine off of my new yorker (that thing was POS but hey it was a hell of a beater car lol) and in the winter snow would get into my engine bay and actually freeze and form ice and actually chipped my power steering pump pulley til it actually snapped... not a good idea to take it off... especially with all the prettyness you got goin on below yoru good with your lights n what not... leave it there..

Yea you guys are right. Thing is that it kinda came off and rubbed on the e-way so my right one is pretty much half way gone. And i called the dealer to see how much they would charge me and they say $60 for just passanger side. I was like OMG !!!

not laughing at you just with you... i bought my car used and first time i got someone to change the oil they jacked it up somehow and cost me like $90... looks like it came down in price a bit... i'd get it... hell make them install it too lol

Mine is kinda cracked on the bottom.

I'm thinking about taking mine off too.

find a way to attach it to the new bumper or to the frame of the car. I ran into the same problem whe I did my kit. but it's all there screwed and zip tied to the car.
