Front splash panel?

[driveslikejehu]

This panel is shown on the aluminum parts page, but is not shown in my manual (at least I didn't find it...)
Are folks using it? It looks pretty straight foward, Easy enough to cut a hole for brake ducting if needed...

I believe this is the front wheel well splash panel. Keeps the water/mud/rocks from splashing up against the headlights, etc. I would definitely install it.

Yes this looks like the front wheel well panel like cob427sc said. Yes, the manual really doesn't mention them at all. I agree that you should install it. Here are some photos of mine. Two photos are from the wheel well, the third is looking up from under the front bumper.

Thanks for the info...

I have been going back and forth on adding these panels as well. I think it depends on how you will use your car. I will not be driving it in a any inclement weather so I am not too worried about water getting in there. There was some discussion on this in this thread and see the pics from post #7 without the panels. I think I am going to not install them for now and see how it works with the front splitter. I do get a lot of rocks in the doors so I will need to add some plates in the rear.
