Message	I lost mine 6 months after I got the car when I spun off an icy road backwards into a ditch full of snow. Snow force it out and tore the mount holes in the bumper. To fix it right means new bumper, paint and new shield. No pointing going through the trouble when the end wish is a 99 spec. I chose to go without it until I had a house to garage the car to warrant a make over. Personally putting aside the fact that there's an obvious flaw by not having it; air travels the least resistive path, the open cavity, I think the car looks like shit without it. No one notices except for myself and other Z owners but it drives me nuts. There are thins that can be removed from the car to make it more asthetically pleasing but going shieldless is not one of them.
