Question Carbon Fiber engine splash gaurd?

It's that plastic shield under the engine that scoops air for the radiator and stops puddles, rocks, etc from flying into the engine from the ground.

My plastic one is broken and wanted to find out the price on the CF one. Maybe it will hold up better when I bottom out.

Anyhow, I saw a carbon fiber one and I can't remember what site was selling it. ...does anybody know?

I don't think the carbon fiber will be any better for bottoming out. The stock ABS plastic is better cause it flexes and cost like 3-4 times less.

Thumbs up yeah the under engine shield thing

yeah, that's it!
The stock one is $150, so the CF = double.

It broke where the holes are to screw it in place, so I figured the CF would take more of a beating and not break and hang down and scrape the ground like my plastic one. hmmm, double the price though?

Mines broken too. I'm in the process of making one from a large stainless steel sheet I bought from Home depot. Only cost about $15 or $20.
