Mine has a bunch of shielding under the car, i assumed it was to protect the cat.
It starts at the rear of the engine and pieces extend to the end of the main cat
im assuming its another stock piece that usually gets torn off by speed bumps

Under or over the tranny? Racers often use a tranny shield or blanket so if the box explodes it doesn't hurt the driver. So if that's what you want get a blanket meant for a smaller auto trans.

Hey, I've got one of those. Its not a tranny underpan like the FDs have, but it covers most of the subframe and oil pan. They came stock on all Sport models and I think GTU models as well.

Yeah thats the one. Thanks for the link. It looks like I am going to get some more blow by with the oil cooler.
At this point I'm hoping It'll reduce temps (minor at that) and restore sanity.

heh, i would tend to think it would raise temps...
that is just my opinion though as i have not seen or used one. it is more for aerodynamics and i would tend to think it would congest the engine cooling rather than help it out.

I have 2
just wondering guys, are the bolt holes for this shield present on ALL FC coupes?
Icemark mentioned that no modifications were required on the FC coupes to put this shield on, so i am assuming they are?

First time I saw it I thought it was cool and would get it but changed my mind. I don't think it helps much because I am not driving fast most of the time. It will just add some weight (not much though) to my car.
Sorry guys for waking this one up but I want one for my fc... It pretty much came on all ae's but some s4 with aero packages from what I understand.
