Anyone make this for can to sell?
Not sure if this needed to go in the fabrication section but figured i would post here.. Can/Does anyone make underbelly trays in aluminum for the FC ? I would like to get one that goes to the back of the subframe. Any Ideas?

that is too simplified for an FC, the FC undertray has to bolt to the frame as well to avoid any air gaps for air to bypass the radiator airflow.
i'm sure they can be made but expect them to cost at least $150. more like 200-250 because of all the angles, amount of materials and cost of materials plus welding.

I need to make an undertray too, I'll probably just use steel sheet or whatever I can find sturdy and cheap
So it needs to seal from bottom front edge of bumper to at least behind bottom of radiator? I'm guessing it would be better to add a bend or a piece of foam...some way to seal the bottom of the oil cooler to the shield?

Originally i would use Aluminum tape thats used for HVAC systems. I would like to have the function of a cut out so it doesnt have to be remove each time to change the oil like the link posted.
I also looked into sheets of aluminum and yes they are quite expensive in that size with a decent thickness i looked at the 1/8th thick which i figured is more than enough?

I get the sheets for free but not all the time. i know a nascar team a very common one and they give me old sheets they dont use. i just got a sheet but made a piece that goes in between the headlights, i got rid of my CF one. it turned out awesome.

don't really see the point in an undertray. Airflow has already gone through the rad. Would only help if you had a vmount and the rad was sitting farther back.
Please, correct me/enlighten me if i am incorect.

If the underbelly pan is there the air really has no where else to go but to hit the motor and keep it at a decent temp. I've seen someone on here a while back make one and dropped his temps by about 15 degrees.

plastic breaks, metal bends. ever hit something real hard on the road? in canada ice is what gets us in the winter, ive cracked an oil pan before on ice (not in a 7) but i would have wished i had a better undertray... stock vr6 oil pans are over 400$ (the one I fucked) I would spend 200 anyday to prevent that. Mind you yu can never guarantee that you still wont break the pan, but you have a lot better odds... a lot of sevens are low enough to scrape as it is, i would for sure be in on a group buy if it were to ever come up.

i've used some HVAC grade aluminumized duct tape before, that stuff holds up very, very well. Lasts very long and is relatively moisture resistant. Yea if you make cutouts so you don't have to remove it for all your maintenance than it sounds like a good way to seal up the cracks. It's not too cheap though, I think like $15 dollars a roll, but it's worth it.
So is there anything you can buy at Lowe's/Home Depot to use for this? I have a piece of clear plastic (vinyl?) from a 52" projector screen that I may try out, but it seems like it might crack when you drill it. Idk yet, but I just don't like the idea of spending $150-200 bucks on this when I have more important things to take care of (but currently no undertray at all).
