On another note - for the M56 we made this for LVApeMan56's car






Been a while since I've been on... busy, busy, busy...

I LOVE the tray, and the rear piece. No rattling, no issues whatsoever. Total quality, and a true pro at his craft. He'll always take care of you, whatever the issue. Thank you TBW. I recommend to everyone...

Can we revisit getting one of these for the AWD?

I don’t know if TBW is active on here anymore..

It might be best to contact him on Instagram if I'm being honest. He's still active there for sure.

I got this undertray too from eBay and it fits directly to existing bolt holes. Cost me 350€ with postal and tax fees.

One thing I have to say though is that it's way too low for lowered cars. There's too much of unnecessary room between the engine and the lowest part of the tray.
Also the way it's shaped from the lowest part makes it catch very easy to ground and then it bends the whole tray like mine did.

I have a few photos of it installed and how it got bent. There's the one pic that shows where the corner has touched the ground (that is the part that should be way more closer to the engine) when reversing and that most likely has caused it to bend towards front.

Overall I'm very happy with it and I might modify it to make it more subtle and lift it higher towards the engine. I prefer it would be one piece so some cutting and welding is required.

I think the problem is that you are too low. look how fuked up your crossmember is.

Actually that's from the Japan days I assume. I'm definitely not that low rn.

I was the test car for the M35x and M56x both and I'm afraid this is driver error. My M35x was lowered on BC's and I had no issues with this shield and it saved my bacon in a major way in Charlotte, NC when hitting an elevated manhole cover on a road that was being repaired. I thought for sure it was a goner but it had a slight dent and a lot of scratches - I continued to use it for like 3 more years lol.

You have to drive lowered cars completely differently than stock height cars - with or without these kinds of shields.

Lol driver error. I've been driving much more lowered cars for about 10 years now. If it sticks out it sticks out.
It's not that I'm really complaining about the tray. It just isn't that practical for lowered cars because of the shape of it. I just mentioned it could be more subtle and closer to the engine because there are plenty of room for that.

I rather have this to protect my undercarriage than the plastic cover. Overall I'm very pleased with it.
