Get the one you like.

Is the lowered height significant on the mishi plate or negligible?

My car will come with port lowered has

It’s probably 0.25” it’s not much. It’s where that rubber dam would be.

As a side note my neighbor recently got g80 and had dealer install his Mishimoto plate. They didn’t even transfer the rubber dam. Not sure how much it’s needed. There is already metal lip there.

But on a lowered car I would want Mishimoto even more.

Personal opinion as always. I am sure there will be several different views on this.

Hey Mike02z Did you pre-drill pilot holes for the trim? I'm having a tough time getting it to engage and I'd rather not make a trip to the dealership and pay an unnecessary up-charge for this simple install.

I have not installed mine yet. My car needs to go in for 1200 mile service soon . I may just pay them to do it. Can’t imagine it being more than 150 bucks. If I buy decent ramps or a good trolley jack and jack stands it will likely cost more and I have no place to really store them or have a reason to go under it again. Spirit is willing buy the body, not so much😉

I had an issue with it as well. Drilling a pilot hole will definitely help. Just don't go too far past the hole. Low and slow with the drill. There isn't anything *immediately* behind it but just be a bit careful.

Mike02z it's not worth paying them to do it. It's incredibly simple.

It all goes back to having the right tools for the job, right? So since I was not getting the right leverage and torque using a manual screwdriver, I picked up a right angle driver and placed a philips bit at the end...and using firm, steady pressure, I was able to drive the screw into the trim!

If that didn't work, then I would hesitantly go the drill bit route.

I'm also curious on the cost. I'm getting the break-in service on my G87 this Saturday, but when I tried to get them to write the install of the skid plate (which I have on hand) into the purchase contract they refused. If they won't do it for free I'll just do it myself.

If anyone wants a discount you can use my member number for a 15% discount. 👍🏼

Super quick shipping as well via FedEx… ordered on a Wednesday… delivered the following Monday.

Hey thank you so much for providing your membership code I ended up ordering a set and it came out to almost $30 less.

Got my 1200 mile service yesterday and asked them to install my Zunsport guard. I was happily surprised that they did not charge me for it. I’m glad that I did not go out and buy ramps or a trolley jack and jack stands as I likely would never use them again.

Drive up on a curb... free ramp.

Sorry, free is better than me crawling under my car parked on a curb. I might not ever get back up😉

For next time

[Mike02z]

Couple pictures. I laid on my back and pretty much needed an engine hoist to get back up 😂

I'm interested in either the Zunsport or DIY route. I doubt anyone would have experience with both, but can anyone say to what extend is the Zunsport and/or Amazon mesh flexible?

It looks like the Amazon mesh can be rolled up so it must be very flexible? The Zunsport seems to be sent in flat, so is it more stiff or can it also be easily rolled up?

Thanks!

Just installed the zunsport grilles on my M2 yesterday.
It's very sturdy and will take quite a beating at preventing anything going through it.

Once it clips in, it's in. Nice and tight. I wouldn't attempt to remove if possible.

That's great info. Thanks!

Is it a stiff mesh in that you can probably bend it slightly but no way to roll it up?

[DCC]

You cannot "roll" it because the edge frame is running perpendicular and keeps its form.

The mesh itself is pretty strong gauge and I wouldn't roll it even if it was a raw piece, it not chicken wire for sure

Thanks! That might be what I'll get then. Cheers!
