Z-Speed under shroud install and review
I recently bought and received the Z-Speed under shroud. Today I installed it. A few forum members asked for a review, so that's what this is.
First and foremost, Joe at ZSpeed Performance Nissan Infiniti Specialist 240SX 300ZX 350Z G35 G37 370Z is awesome to deal with. He's very knowledgable, fast with communication, offers excellent products with great prices, and fast shipping. The under shroud comes in Silver (raw) or Black powder coat. They also include new hardware, speed clips, bolts, and plastic pins. You can upgrade the hardware to stainless steel for an additional charge. The shroud was packaged very well, opening the box revealed a protected under shroud. Top protected, bottom has protection removed, Stock under shroud vs. Z-Speed Under shroud, I weighed these with my digital scale. I would not use these as hard numbers but more of a general idea of weight. Factory shroud = 2.2lbs Z-Speed shroud = 5.6lbs Included mounting hardware, Fit was perfect. Includes hole for coolant drain, Also includes an access hole for easy oil changes. Plenty of space, Full view. Would I buy it again? Yes. It has less flex than the factory plastic piece, perfect fit, good looks, and the great customer service from Joe is the icing on the cake.

NIce review. I love mine. Haven't done an oil change since I installed, but I really like not having to take the shield off and on to change the oil.

It's also worth mentioning that I have an oil pan spacer on my car and the Z-Speed shroud clears it easily.

i have this on my Z and changed the oil and filter using the trap door. Removing the shield was not necessary.
