Default Aftermarket under engine cover
There used to be an aftermarket under engine cover as an upgrade for the OEM one. I lost the link and seem to be unable to find the manufacturer again. .:uh I remember it being made by small company, Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Is this for 300 or 400? That'd be pretty cool if there was one for the 400, I'd want in.

What was different about this part? Are you talking about the under body diffusers?

Default Re:non oem cover
I believe that it comes for both the 300 and the 400. It replaces the plastic cover that goes from the bottom of the front bumper back to the front crossmember. The reason I want one is that it has a door to allow access to the oil filter and it isn't supposed to sag like the factory unit.

Check the auction site for sc400 splash shield. It's not cheap.

this can be very easily made yourself and migth even be better then the oem's that seem to not hold up very well over time.

Mine is in pieces and barely hanging on and the car has never scraped and has been babied.

I saw this guy a few weeks ago at eBay, he is the same guy selling the BFI. Feedback if anybody gets to use his product! I need it too! My engine undercarriage is as naked as a stripper!

Finally I found the guy!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/S5-Splash-Sh...ht_2792wt_1348

Looks like he disappears whenever he sells this product. So, for future reference, his username in eBay is; trenshaw19. Quite pricey actually, $299.50. Although it comes with new mounting hardware, the air shroud and the engine undercover. I'll contact him when I have time to ask what's the difference with the OEM ones. And oh yeah, he's also the same guy that makes and sells the BFI!!!

300 bucks for a slash shield seems a bit over priced to me..
