what you loving it, about that?
the car needs it. Aerodinamics not so much, cooling a little, but the most of it is the protection.
search and you will find enough evidence....

i had mine off for about 2 days...got it on the lift and saw how dirty it had gotten under there...put it right back on and now have more peace of mind driving through contruction zones on the highway....just leave it on. To make life easier you can go to napa and purchase those pop-out clips.

I myself have been without the undertray for almost a year now, and never had a problem.

My Zero Lift Kit undertray lowered the front end by 2 inches. This probably reduced front lift a bit (Front Lip was 5.5 inches off the ground, Zero Lift was 3.5) however all it did was scrape on ****, get in the way of doing work, trap nuts and bolts my clumsy *** dropped, and in the end I tore it off and never looked back. It doesn't look as good but where will my wastegate dump tube go with it on

So much easy to work on the car. I have not ruled out getting a Carbing one though since it's alot easier.

Don't be lazy, it is an integral part of the car. You have a $30k car, please don't treat it like a $5k car.
