Need clear pictures of your car's underside?

[Daschicken]

Are you thinking about making an undertray for your car but need that extra encouragement? Tell me what car to look for, and i'll snap a few pictures for you.

I finally got a car related job, and my workplace has lifts, so I get to see the undersides of lots of cars. If you want good pictures of the underside of your car/specific areas, just ask here. Thanks to work, my cars driven list is getting a lot bigger. And i had a few firsts as far as engine configurations as well: First inline 6, first v10, first boxer, and first diesel all thanks to work.

Here are some interesting undertrays I found:

2005 Honda Odyssey front tire spat:



NACA ducts on a new Jeep (compass I think)




My car!




Rear diffuser on a 2011 Lexus LS 460


Rear diffuser on a 2004-2008 Acura TL


Undertray and NACA duct on a 2005 Porsche Cayenne. This car dumped oil all over my face.



I also doing my part to reduce the fuel consumption of others by making sure their tires are aired up (shop policy is 35 PSI, unless door says higher) and zip-tying up loose undertray panels.

Thank you. Most interesting.

How about a 2000± Honda Accord V6 by the rear bumper? Would a belly pan help? Sorry to ask this, but I'm handicapped and can't get down to look.

I'll keep an eye out for one. It may take a week or two since we don't get much older cars.

Sorry it took so long, I never ended up getting an accord v6 of your generation on a lift, but did find a car very similar, a 1999-2003 Acura TL. I'm not working there right now because i'm at school, so I can't get any more pictures right now. I wish I took pictures of the more popular eco cars like the prius, leaf, and earlier civics. From memory, the second-gen prius really doesn't look like they tried to make it aero underneath or in the grille/radiator area.

The major difference between the rear of my v6 and your v6 is that the Y pipe where it splits to the dual exhausts points out/down in your car. I believe the 6th gen V6 accord like yours sticks down even more than this TL does.

Good thread idea. Here are mine, taken while muffler was be welded/replaced (so muffler missing).

Suspension hangs really low in the back:


Parachute rear bumper cover (with great angle and mounting points, however:


I was surprised how well aligned the middle panels were, but for the muffler trench:


AND for comparison:

2012 Civic Hybrid (closer to my car than I expected):


2016 Mercedes CLA 250 (VERY thorogh!):
