High capacity oil pan or GTM oil pan spacer?

High capacity oil pan or oil pan spacer, which is best?
Will it hang to low under the car and can the black plastic shield go back on with a oil pan spacer or high capacity oil pan?
Thanks,
Alex

Do you know if you can put back on the plastic black shield once the pan is installed?

Thanks,

I have a JWT sump spacer - and there is no problem refitting the under-engine plastic shroud .........

do you just put an extra quart of oil when doing oil changes with the gtm spacer?

Why not spend that money towards an oil cooler?
