Engine splash guard help

[SilverSurfer410]

Everybody here is wrong. If you just take it off without doing anything else, it is very unsafe

Yours fell off, or you are taking it off? So the thing with that splash guard is that it has 2 holes on each side to hold your wheel well splash guards in place. When you are parked and underneath the car, everything looks fine and dandy. But when you are driving on the freeway, the wind pushes those wheel well splash guards into your tires. Those splash guards get chewed up quick and it will destroy your tires at the same time.

If you just take that piece off without doing anything else, you will need new tires and new wheel well splash guards pretty fucking quick (ask me how I know). The wheel well splash guards are also known as fender liners and are quite cheap when you need aftermarket ones. Tires not so much... mine went down to the banding very fast

You can ziptie the the corner of the wheel splash guards and it will be safe. They are quite flexible and bendy at high speeds though. Mpg will not be as good due to aero, but dirt and rain is not an issue

Agreed, also feels is gives the front bumper more rigidity, which is needed at speeds. Ask me how I know. You bumper will start flopping around

So long as you put the clips for the wheel well liners back in after removing the belly pan, you’re just fine.

I was under my car again this weekend and there's nothing to put those pins back in once the belly pan is out. They hang free otherwise
