Zunsport Oil Cooler Grille vs Mishimoto Skid Plate
I’ve been looking into these to buy for my car and am kind of worried about how big the holes are for the Mishimoto skid plate but then again, it provides more impact protection then a Zunsport stainless steel grille would I assume.
People with either or both products, how do you feel about them?

I have the ZunSport and feel it offers sufficient protection. I may add a couple washers on the bolts/screws to add a little space between it and the cooler. It is made from stainless steel & I feel pretty stout.

Since my car is lowered, I went with the Mishimoto route. Ordered during the rock into oil cooler fiasco of 2023 so I won't see the item for a couple of months most likely. I went with the skit plate because it provides more peace of mind under the car than the mesh.

After watching the phd racing video with the aero, I would love one of these that had a graduated slope at the back to encourage the front end to stay down and air to exit the duct.
Aftermarket, if you're listening... plz gibb. -GT3M2 |

I have a few of these unspoken for on the way from Mishimoto, they've been on backorder for quite some time.
Otherwise, the Turner Motorsport ones are great and offer additional protection for the sides, we offer both:

I will take a Mishimoto from you if you expect them soon. I have an order on backorder with another vendor but was told 12 weeks. Let me know.

Here's my review thread
https://g87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=2071670 The weight difference between the stock and the Mishimoto is 4.9 lbs. if anyone is wondering.

Just got a mesage from Mishimoto saying my unit is ready to ship out. Seems they restocked earlier than the 8-10 week backorder they originally predicted. For reference, I ordered on December 26th

How was the install of the screws into the plastic? Did they screw in easily? Also, is it easy to uninstall and install the screws into the same hole after taking it out? |
