SimonB Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 For you guys that have an aftermarket front bumper, what have you done about the front undertray? I can't see how you can keep it as it bolts to the bumper, have you had a custom one made or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Most of the ones I see have just had it removed, tie wrapped up, or generally buggered about with. Like FMIC and the removal of the water rad air ducting, the business of undertray removal and none stock bumper fitment is something the makers casually forget to mention until it becomes obvious upon fitment. Like the air duct removal, removal of the undertray will do nothing good for aerodynamics or engine bay cooling.... It's a matter of deciding if you want the car to look and function as Toyota intended, or look different and accept this may entail many, often serious, compromises.

Guest whele Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I have a front Veilside bumper fitted to my Supe. All the front bolt holes on the engine undertray align with those on the bumper and chasis with nothing more than a little tap with a sledge hammer.

Although I dont go far as Chris's private Frasier's impression 'Were all dooomed - doooomed I tell ye' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Nick Martin has a genuine Veilside bumper on his, I think, that fits up with the tray fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Are we talking the 'under engine tray' or the in front of rad tray' ???? Dude:flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 The "in front of the rad tray" that goes between the front of the under engine tray and the bumper is the one I meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
