Buschur Front Undertray Install

Tools needed
  • Philips screwdriver
  • Drill
  • 5/16 drill bit

Step 1: Remove undertray. (Already a write-up on this so I am not going into detail)

Step 2: Line up the holes from your stock undertray on top of the Buschur undertray.


Step 3: Using a marker, mark all the holes that you are going to drill. This takes the guess work out of where they are going to go. Most of the holes are not needed but I did so anyways to add as much support as I could.


Step 4: Drill the holes using a 5/16 drill bit. You now are ready to put this sucker on.


Also buschur normally supplies a heat shield. I don't have it installed since my dp is wrapped.

Step 5: Line up the front holes first as they are the hardest to reach. The surface is not going to be completely flat so getting the factory locks in might take a little massaging.



Some intercoolers are not going to allow you to use a couple holes in the front because you don't have enough room to stick the locks high enough. You can either put this on with the bumper removed from the car or leave it alone like I did for convenience of removal in the future.

Step 6: Admire your work. You never have to worry about that dreaded stock undertray ever again.

Not true at all. Look on buschur's site. The picture they have is drilled for one. You just have to know where it is.

I can take this off in 5 minutes. It is really easy. The stock undertray is a nightmare.

So, if your going to drill the holes, why don't you just buy a sheet of metal and make it yourself since you are so handy with the tools. Seems like a crappy design to me. A more practical one would be the Undertray made by beatrush. Just think Buschur could've put a little more thought into the design.

Beatrush tray is 399.00 compared to buschurs 175.00.. For me 5 minutes of my time each oil change is well worth saving 225.00..
