SSP Undertray
SSP has done it again, they have made an undertray for the Evo 10, ALL factory holes and oem bolt locations! There is NO cutting.....NO drilling.....and NO modifying!!
Its ALUMINUM so i bet its light, tho there is no weight comparison on there website.
http://www.sspperformance.com/produc...num-undertray/
The price $375.00+shipping+and tax
Now the question is does anyone had this installed? would love a before and after pic, and do you guys think this is a good investment?
thanks guys

Yo! Did I come fast enough? 
I installed mine last week and I love it so far! Here's some pics/comments (cut/paste from MitsuStyle.com):
So yea, I like it a lot! I'd love to do DZUS quarter-turn fasteners on this thing but I'm not sure quite what size to get and not in the budget right now. The tabs/bolts that come with it are decent enough that is for sure. The design is different than the beatrush undertray I had on my evo8 but the design is a bit more simple, which I like.
Cruising on freeway is quieter.
I bought it through MAP and they gave me a killer deal, I recommend you do the same

In fact I'm sure of it, just never thought about it!
Install took about an hour, including jacking and lowering the car and *sniff* firing up the torpedo heater for the first time this season.
Every hole lined up perfectly. You can see the access panels for the oil drain and filter.
Lots of unused mounting points along the sides, probably hs something to do with the missing wheel liner piece I guess :P Still fits awesome. My bumper cover is much more sturdy, this will be VERY helpful once the snow flies

When you change your oil, does the oil fall perfectly vertically out of the fill hole? Nope. first off the car is usually tilted back a bit as the front of the car is in the air...and the oil flows out and back due to the velocity it comes out at. I haven't done an oil change yet, but I'll let you know

I might have to pick one of these up. My undertray got thoroughly thrashed last winter so I pulled most of it off and this looks like a nice solution to replace the plastic OEM crap.

I really want one of these before winter (when I bought my car it didn't come with a undertray). Is there a jacking point on the undertray or do you have to jack the car up from the side?

Just kinda stand it up in front of the car but don't let it fall onto the car...get all of the clips in place and unbolt the crossmember where it mounts in the rear (3x 12mm or 14mm bolts, can't remember which sorry). Set a pile of bolts on either side of you and lay on your back, knees propped up. Imagine for a moment holding this thing in the air in front of you and pick 3or 4 easy-to-reach mounting points. Now wiggle out a bit, grab the tray, don't scratch your paint, and use your hands, knees, and feet to hold the thing inthe air (imagine doing the crab walk but upside down). The thing is really not that heavy butit can become a burden if you don't get those mounts in reasonably quickly. Just line up a few mount points...one or two on your right, one or two on your left. And at least one of the rear bolts...just thread in with your fingers just enough to support the thing and don't worry about getting the crossmember on right away.
Once you have enough on that it's not gonna bend/fall, let your arms flop down and rest for a sec. Now go back through and screw the rest in part way and once you have all in place THEN go back and tighten them all. Not too tight, just snug.
