    So it doesn't go by Assembly Number. Ken is probably right. They had the single piece undertray on the side somewhere in The Factory and put it on my car.

    But maybe your undertray was replaced along the way with the two-piece undertray.

    I think I'd rather the challenge piece, much nicer looking and appears to functionally cool the clutch, though I never had any clutch issues on track, brakes were the bigger issue. I didn't think anyone is pounding these around for 30-45 minutes flat out at this point to need it.
    Could be. I have service history going back to 2001 and it wasn't mentioned at any point going back that far, but the front bumper has been repainted and scraped again, and the current under tray is far from pristine. It was run really low with god awful 21" wheels prior to me getting it.

    Maybe the undertray allocation wasn’t that exact.

    Most likely. In September 1994, whatever version of undertray was nearby was put on the car.

    The two-piece undertray was cheaper to make, hence the "New Solution."

    With the single-piece undertray, on a lift, all one had to do is remove 4 screws to remove the small square panel, reach in with a tool to get to the oil drain. Problem is you need a custom funnel to make sure oil doesn’t get everywhere when it shoots out. I’m sure dealers complained, hence the new 2-piece solution.

    For those not familiar with the Challenge clutch cover, it looks like this...

    Heat-reflective material provides heat-shielding. Holes drilled in the clutch housing along with scoops on the cover provide internal clutch cooling at speed.

    It's made of thin fiberglass but has held up well.

    I haven’t seen any Nero Carbonio’s/Nero’s in the U.S, so chances are they’re all Nero/Nero. 10 cars only? Out of 370? I’ll take it :).
