    well as it turns out, our coffee beans aren't designed to go over 160 mph. Last night on a closed course down-hill, i swept 160 and the entire plastic undertray ripped off of the car as i was passing another car. I think the turbulent irregularities that the car i was passing created ripped the plastic down and the force of the air pulled it off. Anyways, stay safe and keep it under 160 when passing.

    any problems with running the car without it on there? I dont feel like buying a new bumper, having it painted, buying ALL of that plastic and putting it on only to come flying off again.
