The front cover is there to help remove the hot air, from the radiators, out under the car. This one should stay.
The front shield in USDM SVXs ends just infront of the engine oil pan. The under cover on Japanese, Aussie and European SVXs is longer and ends infront of the steering rack. This is why USDM SVXs have a coefficient of drag of 0.290, while ones with the longer plastic shield have a 0.285 Cd.
