the final design .. will have a cut out for the oil drain plug and a trap door that can be open for oil change.

That's the original plan, but we still have to look at the panel first to see if that's doable.

Some panels like the 350z where you have to take off the original plastic panel for an oil change might not have enough room for a trap door, cut out for oil drain plug and vented fins ...

Will post pics after the R&D are done !

I actually dont see any benefit at all. The plastic protects from rocks just fine unless you are running over curbs or boulders.

Seems like it would add to heat soak as well. Plastic doesnt absorb heat.

I just want it because mine is so flimsy. From bending it back and forth for oil changes. GTspec never updated us on this so I was just curious
