so yea, frozen snow tore my splash guard in half but its still on..kind of just tucked it under. its not scratching, or anything, but was wondering if anyone has used this skid/cooling plate -

wondering if it'd be worth it to buy that or just replace the OEM splash guard

 

Just ask yourself these two questions:

1.) what the hell is that going to do for your car aside from nothing at all (nobody I know runs the center splash guard on their Civic)

2.) do you want to have to take that off every time you do something like change your oil?

If you can make those decisions, do what you want

 

yea good call, i definitely dont want to have to go through that every time i change the oil..didnt even think of that, just thought it might be a good idea.

 

being from your area i think you need to get some coil overs if you dont already and raise your car during the winter if its your DD.

thats what i had to do with my crx during those lake hopatcong winters

 

car is on stock suspension - plow blocked my friends driveway sometime last night and he doesnt have a shovel...so i had to just go for it, had my car been pointing out of his driveway it probably wouldnt have happened

there seems to be a hole on the plate, is that like a cut out for the oil drain plug?

 

not sure, im not going to get it..i didnt even take into account of the pain in the *** it would be to have to take that off every time to change my oil...just figured it would be a bit better to have under there so you dont scrape anything.
