Duckbills seem to be a hot item right now so they're usually gone if they had them. Are you looking for the plastic tray under the radiator or the metal one under the oil pan?

I can take a picture of that for you (Sunday I'll be home). I haven't gotten around to putting it on the car yet. Great for cooling but the main problem is you can't tell if you're leaking fluids when it's on. Mine is plastic. (Just pm me)

Yea I didn't know there was two either then one day I was at a junkyard and found a s4 with a metal skid plate under the oil pan. It won't fit on my vert as the subframes which it mounts to is different from the coupes and verts. the black s4 in pick a part in el monte still had its plastic under tray last weekend. Probably like 5 bucks

thanks, but el monte is hella far and i'm cheap

just a heads up for peeps, there was a rx7 in the pick a part on katella and the one on beach. both are s4 n/a coupes, the one in katella is white with 4 lug wheels, a majority of the interior still there and the one on beach is originally white but now a matte black and completely stripped interior

white s5 vert automatic in Fairfield, row 25. This is currently the only s5 across all Bay Area pick'n'pulls.

engine is gone. some of the intake manifold is there. The plenum piece looks very clean. tranny, driveshaft, and diff are available.

trunk lid in very good condition, with working latch and release mechanisms.

Also, it has an aluminum hood. It has a longitudinal bend on one side but looks like it could be straightened. It is otherwise in excellent condition.

Interior is blue, fair to poor condition, smells nasty with cigarette ash everywhere. Stock Pioneer radio looks unmolested, some speakers are gone. Center surround is gone. Ignition cylinder is gone (I took it).

If you can't find something, check in the Subaru behind it. Various rx-7 pieces ended up in its trunk.

I just picked up some Vert stuff over the weekend you may want to leverage into. Hint, out of an S5.
