Please don’t forget to re-install the original rubber lip onto the Mishimoto skid plate. This is often times omitted. The front of the skid plate has a metal ridge which is perpendicular to the oil cooler. The rubber lip has a channel on one side. Simply lubricate the channel and pressure fit the rubber lip. This requires a fair amount of pressure. This lip assists in diverting negative pressure from under the car.

Saw another post about this but wondering has anyone installed mesh screen over the large holes in the Mishimoto? I have one on the way and some
Auto mesh. Was thinkin of drilling some holes and using aluminum bolts or even some zip ties |

That's too much. The rubber deflector should in theory deflect air and small rocks away from the oil cooler (probably the original design). The "mesh" that comes with the skid plate is going to be fine to protect the cooler from larger debris that may pop up. I think adding additional mesh is just more hassle than it's worth to be honest. But if you take your car on gravel roads or muddy terrain or something, then I suppose the more protection the better.

So far, I'm impressed by them. Placed my order on December 23, 2023. Received an e-mail saying item was out of stock on December 26, 2023 (8-10 weeks) Received an e-mail saying my order was approved for fulfillment today (40 minutes ago) January 3, 2024 with the invoice, and ETA of 1-2 business days. I'm excited. |

I did it since I was already there, don't want to have second thought and dismount/remount.

Chose the easier way on the Mishimoto since there're mounting spots. I still have to put mesh on the Turner's mounted on my daughter's G42, that one needs rivets since the center is open just like our factory plastic piece.

I think using zip ties is great. One recommendation however, nylon zip ties tend to become brittle over time and may break. You can however use stainless steel zip ties, they're not that expensive, won't rust or break.

I don't have the tool for the metal ties, would you know if I were to use the tool, would I be able to tighten the stainless ties tightly to the cutouts of the Mishimoto?

For those of you that have installed it themselves, how hard was it? Just put your M2 on jacks or ramp and remove the old plastic one and replace it with the Mishimoto one?
