Underbody Shields Driver/Passenger Sides
Hello All:
[2015 i8 w/46,000 miles] Was driving on the interstate last month going 75mph. An empty, open auto trailer (18-wheeler) pulled out suddenly into my lane to pass another truck. I heard an unusual road noise that I thought was a result of wind passing through the auto trailer. When the driver pulled back into the slow lane, the noise did not stop. We took the first exit and I discovered that the driver's side glass fiber underbody panel was gone, and the passenger-side underbody panel was held on only by the three bolts in the back and was scraping the pavement making the noise. I have ordered the missing panel and bolts to replace both panels but was wondering, has this ever happened to any other i8 owners? Thanks for reading, Frank from Florida |

Any car undercarriage is vulnerable to debris on the road. My under panels had holes punched in them when a mechanic was not careful about position of the lift arms when raising the car off the ground.

truck tire tread debris
I-35 is a minefield of road debris. Hit a retread this weekend, which slightly cracked the front air dam. Any good recommendations for CF replacement? Probably stick with stock, but worth considering.
