Replacement air scoops for undertray

[LAP1DOUG]

Hey I guess everyone has an opinion.

These may not be for everyone, but my car now sees very light street use, and air flow on track is more important to me. Mine are installed with light aluminum rivets that would shear off easily in the event of hard contact, but I appreciate those who seem concerned about potential suspension damage.

I'll just cast my pearls elsewhere next time.

Nah, keep casting them here. We're not all swine. Many here appreciate good ideas. Others may troll a bit because they did not think of it first, you did. If your idea wasn't good, you wouldn't get a reaction. Keep the good ideas, and the pics coming.

Ideas like this lead to the "enthusiast development" that makes DIY fun.

Public forums bring out the best and worst in people, ignore who you want. The idea is to share and then people can choose to do the same or not. It's all good.
In this particular case I don't think anyone was snotty just pointing out a perceived problem of road clearance. I fall into the category of not thinking it is a problem. Please report back after putting on some miles to see how they are performing. Thanks for sharing.

Nicely done keep posting! sheet metal drawings are great. If you want them to shear off you can consider riveting them on the outside of the tray so they are on the outside surface and not trapped; or deflectable tips. You might even consider coarser track versions....lots of heat to get rid of. I start to loose third it's so bad
