The current bellypan is thick plastic with a crease allowing you to partially unscrew it and pull open securing it with a bungee cord to drain the oil and access the filter. If you install this piece you will now have to remove the entire bellypan each time you perform your oil change. You adding weight and I'll bet that there isn't that much of a difference in protection or wind deflection.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong! Thanks
It does look like it'll add some weight, but with vents and a hatch for quick oil changes, it doesn't look too bad. Would I get one? Probably not.. but it's a pretty nifty gadget if I do say so myself
