Metal Mesh Belly Pan?

[Blacktree]

MCrews, that is SWEET! Thanks for posting.

Now, the nit-picky questions: Have you tried any with / without tests to see if the mesh sections reduced aero drag? If so, what were the results? Any noticeable effect on road noise?

Thanks again for posting that.

ok......now that was funny!

I only tested the whole thing.
When you get to a certain point, you just cant stop and test the 'little stuff'

My 'thought pattern' was to allow for heat to disapate quicker and have a FULL underbelly pan.
Since parts of the exhaust system were very close to the coroplast, I had decided ahead of time that screening of some kind would be neccesary.
I think that I did read some where that the air would flow past it much like a solid surface....but dont quote me!!

Road noise....
I am very lucky in that regard.
The infiniti Q45 is a flagship vehicle and the noise is almost nonexisitant.

One of the many nice things about this car!
also: 2.76 rear ratio, trainable ecu and tcu (learns to run for mpg or speed), Great cd ratio from factory. light weight 3800lbs. The next car in it's class is 500lbs heavier.
