Sorry, I actually don't! I was in such a rush to get going after I installed it that I just let the car down, put all my tools away, and drove off. I'll grab a picture when I get my next oil change

That is quite spendy for an oil change. I typically pay $55 - $60 for a full synthetic oil change with filter. Not worth doing myself for that, especially considering just the oil and filter alone would probably cost me almost $40... Pretty much the only thing I don't do myself actually.

Does this tray offer better ground clearance? Or just more durable for obvious reasons.

It does offer better ground clearance. My OEM shield got lower and lower to the ground over time and eventually just started scraping almost everywhere I went. I haven't scraped on anything so far with the new aluminum shield. It is also more durable, so it's a great investment especially for lowered AWD versions whose undertrays hang lower than RWD.

I replaced my plastic push clips that hold the splash pan up w/ ones from NAPA, and it's held much better, and is still high off the ground like when it was new.

I agree. Though I have an aluminum under tray, you make an excellent point about the push clips.

I have a big bag of them and never re-use them. Whenever I take one out, a new one goes in. They're cheap and only good for one cycle of in-and-out IMO.

Might be wrong, but I believe you can pick them up at any big-box hardware store, like Lowes or Home Depot.

Not a bad idea to have a bag of extras on hand, however I'm still using the same original three clip in my OEM undercarriage tray. Can't imagine why you would replace them every time they're unclipped. I don't get that.

Tnx, just like to know what size and description to ask for. I guess I can always bring one along.
I always seem to be breaking clips on my FX35

Did you make sure they actually put oil back in your car?
I wouldn't let Jiffy touch my car if they paid me.
