I have a new aftermarket front lip and because of the way it really can't attach to the engine splash shields, I removed them. They made a funny noise when I drove on the highway. Anyone do this?

 

i hit a massive dip going about 50 or so and the underside of the car smacked the ground. The splash guards were mangled so i just took em off and threw em away.

 

I took mine off because my intercooler piping was getting in the way of it being put back on. I could have trimmed around the area where the piping was in the way but I was lazy. I have had it off for a few weeks now.

 

well two tc ppl have responded to the gen1 xb question...

 

I removed my splash shield for a little while... but I put it back on once I was done.

(just trying to even the score against the tC crowd... lol)

 

I bought my box without them in the first place. I sort of made one out of coroplast a while back, but I never found it to make a difference. So, don't worry about it.

 

I still have mine on!

 

Thanks guys and also the TC peeps.

Yeah, I am gonna assume anyone with a aftermarket front lip took theirs off too because of the wobble noise at high speeds.

 

well its supposed to help with aero at high speeds, but i might remove mine, they're getting mangled to fvck with my drop.

 

It may be a bit over the top but I wonder if Flippers or a Splitter could step in to help out in their place?
Plus, help with water getting up inside on the pulleys and whatnot.

 

sold mine for crack
