Cracked PPF
While installing my AI kit, I noticed a small crack (about 2 1/2") on top of the PPF about 3 or 4" in front of and running perpendicular to the differential. When I replace my clutch and tranny, I'll inspect the entire thing but would welding and reinforcing just the cracked area(s) be fine or should I source a new one?

Several people have had success in welding and strengthening the stock PPF. You might bug the OP of this thread to see if he (or she) still has the pictures:

Good condition PPF's can be had in the FS section. I also have one I just took of my car that is in excellent condition. PM me if your interested.

I reinforced mine and made a tranny brace and solid differential mounts. It puts less stress on the ppf and makes for a more solid connection, better launching and shifting.

+1 getting a tranny brace....And a diff brace...

I'm suggesting you do 'exactly' as that person did, but you can see what he did and then figure out what you want to do with your PPF. As I say to most people, don't blindly follow someone. Study what they did and then make an informed decision on what you want to do. ;)

Pick up a used uncracked PPF and install our Diff brace to prevent it from happening again.

Don't blindly follow people on this forum. Research and then make your own informed decision as to what needs or should be done to your car.
