Aluminum Undercarriage Tray - Keep on or off?

[Emerica4601]

Hey Guys -

Recently took the diff out of my 06 for 3.55 install and left the aluminum tray off after re-installing the rear. I left it off so I can come back and check all bolts and make sure all is tight and looks good. Was planning to re-install it after my 500 mile 'look-over', but wanted to get the opinion of other gen 3 owners if they have left theirs on or off.

Pro's/Con's to leaving it off?


Thanks in advance for your input!

Joe

It is structural do not drive with it off the car.

Dude, that belly pan is an important part of the car concerning aerodynamics.
The rear diffuser connects to it, and without the pan in front of it.........well................

At over 150, I would think bad things might happen.
