I dont know if i just have to worst luck in the world or what. I used to have a 04 coupe until i got hit and totaled it. But before that happened i took off the belly pan thing and i good sized rock flew up and got jamed into a pully and split my belt. I now have a 05 srt and am not taking it off. I was thinking that it would be a good idea incase you go over a speed bump or a grade that you might bottom out at. Its a nice protection.
