TBW Aluminum Engine Tray / skidplate

[Evilcactuar]

I just called them to verify mach 1 fitment, and they don't have it. But they are interested in making one, if someone with a Mach is in the las vegas area and wants one give them a call. I can't speak for them, but it sounded like you'd end up with a free skidplate in exchange for them being able to fit it to your car. I want one but CT is a bit of a drive.

i emailed them a year ago and they said they were looking into it. I wish they would cause I need to remove my pan and bumper for something and would rather install one of those since i am down there.

Yep, they told me the same.... as soon as someone will lend them a Mach 1 to fit one up. Come on Mach 1 community out there, help us get an aluminum alternative to the overpriced OEM plastic piece.

I agree but I'm also like as a business "if you want money make it happen" not hard to get a car to volunteer :-/ if you actually try/post about it literally anything more than nothing

While I don't disagree........I want one and they can't make it unless someone volunteers!

I am just bring this up after I spoke with TBW performance last week. I offered to send my Mach 1 factory undertray to there shop in Vegas - at my expense from Minnesota. They appreciated the offer, but they really want a 21-23 Mach in there shop to insure proper fitment. Anyone in the Vegas area interested to get a new Aluminum undertray? If yes - please reach out to them. Note, I had to call over several days to reach them on the phone.

Despite their claimed interest, I doubt they see much business potential or they would have proactively sought out a donor vehicle by now. If they ever do develop a Mach 1 under tray, I'd be curious if they go through the trouble and expense to form the recess for the HP lower splitter.

I gave them a call since I'm somewhat local to Vegas and can just drive my Mach 1 and GT350 over and let them build the undertrays for each one. My GT350 is getting the hood repaired, and I should have it back soon so I can get started. Then I'll let them borrow the Mach 1 for that undertray as well.

Hope this update is helpful.

Awesome, keep us posted!

3/27/26 Update :

Took the GT350 down to TBW's Shop. Took the GT350 Front Skid Plate off and my Surviving Mach 1's Skid Plate out of the Trunk.

The design to the GT350's looks really good so far. It retains the Diffusers; I'm going to schedule a time to head back down there (it's a 3-4hr drive for me.) I'm planning to do APR 10-11 and hopefully we test fit and get the GT350 Under tray finished.

Then I'll bring my mach 1 down from APR 19-20 and he'll test fit that design as well hopefully.

Quick question for everyone
1. would you also be interested in the the closeout panel panel being full aluminum? (Fits GT350/GT500/Mach 1/Dark Horse)
Part costs $874.99 before tax for the (GT500/Mach1/DarkHorse) and 1174.99 got the GT350 from LMR before taxes. If so i'll let TBW borrow my mach 1 & GT350's. He'll probably make it 1 product with an Optional Strake Kit for aero from what we talked about.

It's this Part:

Hope everyone enjoys the update.

Frederic - this is outstanding news, THANKYOU...

A few comments/questions.
"Close out panel" Not sure what you mean but in my case for the M1, I would like the undertray to all be aluminum. If it needs to be multiple pieces (I assume a front half, a back half, and an oil change "hatch") - that is also fine by me.

Looking at options they have for other undertrays - would they offer in 2 different thicknesses of aluminum? I would prefer a thicker option, as the weight difference I assume is not that large.

I am all in and intend to buy as soon as the M1 panel becomes available.

The closeout Panel is the Panel that covers the Differential Cooler and pulls air into the Differential Cooler. i've never heard of anyone having to replace that part yet but the fact that it costs more than the front tray and it's smaller I just assumed it'd be a good move to go ahead and ask if anyone else was interested.

Yes, it'll come in 4 Pieces; I assume from how I saw him designing the GT350s (3 in the front, 1 in the rear for the oil hatch.)

The cool part about it being assembled in 4 parts is if only 1 get's damaged you can call TBW and they'll just replace that 1 part.

It'll be available in different thicknesses; I assume. Personally I'll be going with the Thinner option.

I also mentioned that They should add the Shelby Cobra and the Mach 1 Logos to the bottom as well instead of the Pony like they did on the GT tray.

Hopefully these will be available for the Mach 1 and the GT350 by the end of May? I'm just taking a guess. It really depends on my availability to drive back and let him test fit on my cars before TBW puts them on the site.

I'm just interested in options for a front panel. I haven't had any concerns with my rear panel and Verus already makes a full aluminum panel with strakes. If, for some reason the OEM rear panel gets crunched, the front of the panel is suspended by two aluminum brackets that would probably deform (easily repaired) before the panel breaks. (Those riveted air channels add strength to the panel.)

 

[MACHtobers Very Own]

Considering the oem front panel is connected to the HP splitter will this come with a method to attach back to it? Right now if you want to separate the oem panel you have to drill out the rivets.
