    Front splash panel?

    This panel is shown on the aluminum parts page, but is not shown in my manual (at least I didn't find it...)
    Are folks using it? It looks pretty straight foward, Easy enough to cut a hole for brake ducting if needed...

    I believe this is the front wheel well splash panel. Keeps the water/mud/rocks from splashing up against the headlights, etc. I would definitely install it.

    Yes this looks like the front wheel well panel like cob427sc said. Yes, the manual really doesn't mention them at all. I agree that you should install it. Here are some photos of mine. Two photos are from the wheel well, the third is looking up from under the front bumper.

    NOTE: The first picture is sideways and the second pictures is upside down for some reason.

    I have been going back and forth on adding these panels as well. I think it depends on how you will use your car. I will not be driving it in a any inclement weather so I am not too worried about water getting in there. There was some discussion on this in this thread and see the pics from post #7 without the panels. I think I am going to not install them for now and see how it works with the front splitter. I do get a lot of rocks in the doors so I will need to add some plates in the rear.
