So I wasn't going to spend $100+ for a pre cut sheet of plastic and some nuts and bolts for a 15 year old car that's going to see some track time, so I ordered myself a sheet of ABS and made my own for ~$25. The sheet of ABS was $22, and the hardware was about $5 from advance auto. No real DIY, the pictures should explain themselves. Thanks for looking the ABS sheet uncut   step one, traced the shape of the mouth on the backside of the cover  laid down the lamb chops to shape the backside of the panel  |  |  | | 07-20-2011, 06:01 AM | #2 | | Moderator Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 3,220 |

 The design is still early in its stages, I know it's ugly as heck, but it's better than no panel. I plan on polishing up the tracing soon and give it another go since I have another M bumper to mess with while this one is on the car. I'm very confident in the quality of the material and the mounting, it's not going anywhere. Some of the edges are still kinda rough, but I'll sand them down some before putting the bumper back on. Once again thanks for looking.

awesome job, my underpanel is currently intact *sorta* but if I ever bust it I'll probably go a similar route | | | | | 08-31-2011, 07:01 PM | #11 | | Member Join Date: Apr 2010 Location: Toronto-ish Posts: 47 |

nice! how'd you make that | | | | | 08-31-2011, 07:09 PM | #13 | | Member Join Date: Apr 2010 Location: Toronto-ish Posts: 47 |
I didn't make it. It's the oem splash guard for the M Technic bumper. There's a piece that fits inside it that fits against the radiator bottom as well.
