I would buy one for no other reason than the door that allows access to the oil pan/filter.

Taking the oem panel off just to change the oil is a Huge PITA for work that takes 10 minutes.

also for ppl that are slammed this provides some protection as most of the time the stock plastic one sags and eventually tears and we just end up getting rid of it.

Your coupe doesn't have the "hinged" cover? My 07 & 09 sedan I just remove the back 4 bolts on the plastic guard and flip it back to reveal the oil filter & pan plug, takes about a minute
I think that metal guard would look nice for about a day on my lowered G Plus I might start a fire with the sparks that would fly off it when I go over speed bumps, lol

The stock piece droops, offers no protection, suck for changing oil. People running this shroud normally have better clearance and no / reduced scraping issues but have more high speed stability with the front bumper support it provides. Most people who want this have a stock piece that is trashed, are lowered and want better protection, or are DIY guys and want to change oil faster.
