Under tray... to keep or not to keep?

Thanks for the responses guys. I am looking in to getting the APR wind splitter... I was already thinking about getting a lip so this would help with both of those.
Does any one have a picture or two they can show me of an IX with the APR wind splitter installed?
Thanks!

What happened?
Mine is off right now, no problems so far. But I think aerodynamically, an undertray would be good. I'm thinking about putting my stock one back on because I dont want the underside of my engine bay to get really dirty.

I definitely would keep this on. I was unfortunate to run over a 16wheeler's flat tire on 95 south (Maryland) It was dark outside and the tire was wide side up. I wasn't able to get out of the way quick enough and ended up running right over it. It only took the undertray and lip off my car...easily replaced. And I did replace it. What could of been if I didn't have that undertray on is beyond me. Certainly wouldn't have been good and worse.

I replaced mine with an APR splitter. May not have brake duct guides, but did those did much anyway? Removing the bumper is work on the front of the car is easy with the splitter. 8 bolts and 5 minutes of your time. Maybe some extra hands and it's off. Much easier than having the stock tray there.
EDIT: found one more

[QUOTE=gottf257;6455115]have the apr splitter. so much easier: two rear bolts that support the rear splitter, and then take the front bumper off. can still do an oil change with it on too
Thanks for the pictures! It look awesome!
But, with the APR splitter on now you have to take the whole front bumber off? That seems like even more of a nightmare...

I would say keep it. I made the mistake of selling mine. although they are other alternatives to keep in mind.

then again you get to the same fact that you have to remove it to do anything.
The car is more stable with the undertray at high speeds.
