Hi all.
Bora Parts cleared us out of all our Smart Shields recently. Here is a link to them on there site:

We may be discontinuing this part but won't be making an official...
Going with the T25 Torx is just fine. In fact they work with the Speed Clips that came in the kit as well.

Thanks for the orders so...
Hello kiwibru. :cool:
Thanks for the thumbs up on our Aluminum Skid Plates.
The Smart Shield was designed to fasten on exactly like the OEM splash pan does. It leaves no holes or gaps and follows the same contour as the Side Shields. As long as the Side Shields are in good condition, the Smart...
Thank you.
No sound deadening was needed. Because of the thicker material there was no difference in sound coming from the engine compared to the OEM splash shield.:D
Cheers.
Ah, no problem. :cool:
The material used for the Smart Shield is so different compared to aluminum or steel that is is hard to do a direct comparison as they all have positive and negative attributes. A perfect example is weight. There is a 12 Lb difference to the aluminum plate, or 16 Lbs...
