dont know how it would damage the bumper. pretty sure the fender well liners would flex enough underneath. plus my undertray got damaged not from hitting it but scraping it constantly little by little going over speed bumps or up an incline that leveled out. the hole just got bigger and bigger til it cracked completely.

btw didnt have time to get any more specs (price) since our company's been going through an audit but i should have more time now that it's over.

Sorry it took me a while to post these phone pics of my home made under tray (don't mind the missing condenser - lol). It's just 4 aluminum L angles (the front curves with the bumper) with a sheet of aluminum riveted together with an aluminum U-channel going through the middle from left to right for a bit more support to the sheet metal. It's currently held in place by screws attaching it to the old vertical pieces pieces of the tray assembly, and is pretty sturdy. It cost me roughly $40 or $50, so it was more economical than OEM, plus it's just kinda neat.

still meaning to do this but as anyone in the manufacturing industry can tell you, business picked up extremely fast out of nowhere. everyone's overwhelmed right now.
