Me neither, but the aftermarket undertray would solve that problem.

In my personal experience, the draining oil will catch the edge of the opening and run down the top of the shroud making a huge mess if the car is only lifted at the front two wheels.
Mine comes off for every oil change since the filter is a little too far over with the sandwich plate, and the one time I tried to do it through the access panel I ended up wearing a lot of oil.
