1. Direct access to oil filter. No need to remove the OEM for changing oil filter.
It may dissipate the hot air under the panel better, since it's got a few vents. The area in question in this thread is well behind where this, or the OEM panel end.

BTW, if you have an oil cooler, the sandwich plate makes it damn near impossible to get the filter out through the trap door.

I do not have an oil cooler so this is not an issue for me.

Once I get it and get it installed, I will post if this has any effect on the hot air coming through the driver's side foot vent.

It it doesn't, the other benefits of this panel are worth the expense to me.

It's worth every penny it costs. Just don't go in thinking that there will be some kind of interior temp reduction because of it.

bit off topic but how do you empty your cooler when doing oil changes?
