    With the newest Mazdaspeed 3 being 7 years old in model years it means the plastic under tray on your Speed3 is probably not in the best shape if it is there at all. We have offered a skidtray replacement for years but recently we made a revision due to feedback from customers and UPS lowering the box dimensions which add their large box surcharges.

    The CorkSport MS3 replacement skid panel is available for the 2007-2009 GenWon and 2010-2013 GenPu models (fits the Mazda 3s as well). We made it from 11 gauge aluminum so it will actually do something instead of explode if you catch something on the road like trash pandas committing suicide, smaller debris and keep it out of your engine bay/off your oil pan.

    There is an access panel for getting to the oil filter and the rear of the tray has a cutout for the oil drain to make oil changes easy.

    Finally placing an order for this, looking forward to see how it handles in the snow and ice chunks up here in Canada land, I'm getting sick of replacing the plastic one when ice from a wheel well is laying on the road.

    Time to stop driving it in the winter, Lol? At 16 years old I had to soak my first bolt over night so it wouldnt break recently. Priceless.

    I’ve got the MS6 version. And, it is good, I like it, glad I have it. But, the MS6 version has some design flaws. I worked around them and from the pictures, it looks like the MS3 version is better.

    Obviously I know the MS3 is a different car with a different frame. But, the trays look surprisingly different (to me anyway) given that they both have the same engine.
