Salim, I've seen the one built on the site. It seems legit, all though I haven't had any dealings with one personally...but for the price it might be worth buying? I usually look at things a bit different then most, let's say on average: most folks throw away money on "junk"-why not give it a shot? Just my 2 cents. Either way if you pull the trigger let us know. I'm curious too. Thanks.

Its for my son's car. He is very picky and I am sure he will like it. He has had the car for 7 yrs and he is been itching to get another car. I tell you, one has to spend serious money to get into a new car which will be a step up from this old '95 SC4.
I have added all the electronics the car missed being 20yr old car. HomeLink, custom Aux-in, Parrot Bluetooth. Heads up display .... nah just kidding about this one.
If you have not noticed the bias, I love the car and he knows it. It is very likely that I get to keep it with the aluminum under-shied
when he gets his new car.

Shield came and I installed it today.
Included was a shorter screw for hose hold down as the OEM screw is long and sticks down too much.
Great product. A few things that need improvement:
1. Plate does not have the holes for the pass through drain hoses.
2. Rivited nuts for the oil filter. It would be hard to weld nuts to thin aluminum sheet.
I had to drill 2 holes to allow exit points for the battery tray drain hose and radiator drain hose. First one was perfect as I could used my drill press. The second one needed some filing.
Overall very happy with the product.

I just bought one for my 95 sc400 still in package. I can take some pics of it if you guys like of it on and off the car. I bought $150 one the one that's thicker and has the door for the filter.

My SC400 OEM shield is... not so much a shield for about 2/3 of the engine anymore. It doesn't cover the driver's side at all at this point. Which, if I were to chose a side I think I'd be more worried about the passenger side, anyway, with the alternator being on that side and so low. Luckily mine does still cover the alternator pretty well. Not that it helps with the P/S pump leaking on it.
I may do the aluminum shield with the access port
