Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior underbody plastic

my underbody plastics are broken so they are not attached

to my front bumper now, and whenever i go over 60 mph, my

underbody plastics are just start hitting the ground, so

the front end of them are MESSED-UP!!!

i used so ZIP TIES to try to connect them to my front bumper, but it looks ugly.

my question is "can i just take off the underbody plastics?"

or "how much is it to fix or replace them?"

Yea you can take them out if you want...they are just there to hold back water and debris... But if you can i'd try to keep them

what do those people do if they change their bumpers to aftermarkets such as Veilside and Biltz?

do you still keep the underbody plastics?

I dont know if I would take them off because they have to be there for a reason...I had the exact same problem and it ended up costing me about $250 if I remember right...You'll just have to decide if you think they're necessary enough to pay about that much.

$250 to fix? or to raplace the whole thing with a new one? at the dealership?

I would try to keep them on if possible... they do keep debris out of your engine, and they help keep good pressure in front of your radiator for better cooling. If you have to replace them, they're gonna run you right around $300 brand new from the dealer (i know, this is a common probhlem) Just be glad that your fender liners are alright. I have to replace both of mine...$90 EACH

yea...get new ones and have them bolted or something to your bumper...

90 each?

damn!!!

actually, the plastic itself is only 63, adding the toyota-specific clips (none of the generic ones fit) bumps it up to 90 Thanks Toyota!!

this is the only one thing i dont like about my Celica

not enough power is FINE with me...but these underbody panels are really pissing me off

i have to be worried about them while i am driving just right over 60 mph on the highway

a pain in the ASS

SUCK!!!

i think i will have to get ripped by my Toyota Dealer again

i was gonna use this money to buy me a RMM spoiler

If you're gonna spend $250, might as well get the c-one underbody panel.

^^^ good point

i was thinking about exactly the same thing

how much is it? where to get?

or you could try to find a used undertray and pay maybe 50

$280 http://www.hipporacing.com/Celica/Part/underpanel.html

thanks

Ya my plastics are spread over highway i35, o well im going to get the c one underbodys also i figure if i get plastics again there just gonna break and get messed up. emailing him at iggi_hk@yahoo.com is the best way to get a response. Hope this helps.

yeah i really like that underbody panel, i think i may get it this summer

Its not the plastics fault. It was the shit install of the aftermakert bumper that fucked them up in the first place.

well...i only have a WW front lip

I have been having problems with mine too, and i don't even have an aftermarket bumper
