I am also trying to keep it easy to return to stock. nothing permanent!

Egg-zactly why I have not seriously considered this mod. Right now, before I go to a mechanic, I can get the car demodded within 45 minutes with maybe 60 minutes to re-mod it. The de-mods I do are the hot-air-intake, the wheel covers, the side skirts, and the rear wheel skirts. All of those have been *designed* for relatively easy on/off.
I think it's not fair to leave your mods on when a car is being serviced. If they break something or get injured, whose fault is it? At a minimum you are adding to your own repair bill in off/on labor charges.
For a belly pan I would want Dzus fastener mountings that aren't more than an arm's length under the car (no lifts please). This means a better *design*, which takes at least more time if not (much) more money to accomplish.
