My stock piece broke and fell off the car and replacing it cost more than the sheet metal cost to do this. There is nothing to work around. If I extend it to the back of the oil pan, then I can still reach the drain on the back of the oil pan. I can reach the oil filter through the side above this piece or make an easy to remove piece for the one oil change every 7,000-8,000 miles. There are no other regular maintenance items it would be covering.
Also, with the stock short underside pieces, the Mustang has a some lift and noticeable hood flutter at high speed. Everyone that either used the 2010 pieces or made their own pieces says the lift and hood flutter is gone afterwards.
