Its an interesting application if you have a show car or just want a cleaner look for the under carriage.

looks like a lot of work, especially if you're not doing top speed competitions... maybe you'd get 1 or 2 more MPG on the highway.

im sure you would see a slight but noticable gain in mpg.
but i would also wonder about the heat issue as well.
curious to see if anyone does this.

Not if it gets salt, sand an whatever else you pick up off the road in there seems like a perfect place for rust an it would to change any fluids under there
