no, the gov't ones came with photon shielding and a metal skid like mine, the gremelins in that thing were crazy, had to turn the whozmit Capacitor down by 1.21 Jiggawatts... not a fun thing to do, in the process i knocked the coalian fractal out of alignment and nearly took out drivers side my ball joint...

Was trying to keep it light here guys,just the way I am!

but yeah, pull it out if you want 'specially if its crumbling apart or ripped.

I liked mine, but I finally ripped it out, if I can find another one in pristine condition I'll probably put it back in.....

just me though.

cheers!

That's an underbody spoiler.

If you remove it, your gas mileage will drop 50%.

Fun Fact, also proven.

If you take said guard out, fix it, AND paint it red, you will gain 12 hp and 100 mpg.
