Description
The PLM Vented Engine Splash Guard Plate is a performance-focused cooling upgrade designed for the 2023+ Honda Civic Type R FL5 and 2023+ Acura Integra Type S DE5. Engineered to improve airflow beneath the vehicle, this aluminum splash guard helps reduce heat buildup in the engine bay by allowing trapped hot air to escape more efficiently.
As performance modifications and aggressive driving increase engine temperatures, effective heat management becomes increasingly important. While Honda equipped the Civic Type R FL5 with a functional hood vent to improve airflow through the engine compartment, the factory undertray largely seals the underside of the vehicle, limiting the escape of hot air and potentially contributing to elevated engine bay temperatures.
The PLM Vented Engine Splash Guard Plate addresses this issue with a precision-engineered vented design. Strategically positioned ventilation openings promote improved airflow beneath the vehicle, helping evacuate hot air from the engine bay and supporting lower operating temperatures during spirited driving, track use, and high-performance applications.
Constructed from durable aluminum, the splash guard offers an excellent balance of strength, lightweight performance, and corrosion resistance. It serves as an effective first step toward improving thermal management without the cost and complexity associated with installing an external oil cooler system and oil line plumbing.
Proudly manufactured in the USA, this upgrade is ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved engine bay cooling, enhanced thermal efficiency, and reliable performance from their FL5 or DE5 platform.
