Im interested in this and wondering if this will work with an aftermarket IC such as the TXS one?

I dont know, It should. Its a very easy install. There was alot of room between the underpanel and the stock intercooler. Only one way to find out.

You will need to remove the panel for oil changes, but as someone stated earlier. much better to remove 6 bolts than 32million little clips! I'm sure you ALL know what that's like :P
Granted you don't need to remove the stock undertray for oil changes, I think it's worth it though to spend the time to take off 6 bolts and gain some clean airflow underneath the car at the same time.
We just got 3 more in stock so feel free to order guys!

seeings as how this panel fits flush with the stock lip and I don't think ANY aftermarket IC's dip below the stock lip, the panel should fit all of them. At any rate, it should have another 1-1.5 inch clearance over the stocker since it doesnt' curve up near the IC.

yeha its much cheaper then the Beatrush one but looking for the second picture. it doesnt fit the under the WHOLE underpanel. the beatrush one does. Also the Beatrush one has it where it force air in one direction.

just recieved mine a couple days ago and it looks like i'm in for a little modifying to make it fit on my stock 05 MR. before ordering you should check to see if your ACD hard line running under the intercooler has a bend around the towhook that protrudes past the frame where the IC bolts because if it does your in for some sort of modification to get it to fit. wonder if IX's have a different ACD hardline? one that goes straight across instead of having bends in it.

Jason, thank you for posting that info. If you can, send me some pictures and methods on how you modified the plate and I can go ahead and do an official sale for these panels and put up some instructions on how to modify. Get at me!

Just got mine today... first impression - VERY nice quality. Fit and finish looks like it will be damn nice on a *stock* Evo... but aftermarket ICs might run into some minor problems.
I have a Injen FMIC and it looks like I might need to modify this thing to fit... it's actually a neat design where there is a piece that attaches to the stock IC mounting hardware and provides a clean mounting point for the rest of the panel.
This front mouting 'bar' might end up being the PITA.
Not installing it tongiht, but will keep everyone posted...
