Default Do LS1 Firebird Trans Am have a engine covers at the bottom?

I was looking under my WS6 the other day and notice like there is something missing....I am able to clearly see the balancer, the alternator....seems like is open to get a lot of water on a rainy day.

Looks funny not having a cover....

Do this car came with a lower plastic cover?

The front air dam or the mat that goes over the sway bar and near the alternator?

There isn't an undertray on these cars, though for some people it would have been nice to have a full undertray and belly pan. Just has the tray that runs under the chin of the car for the front bumper, nothing extends past the radiator.

What car did you have before your WS6?

Well...I guess is called a under tray to protect belts and alternator from water or debri

I had a C6 Corvette and it had a nice undertray cover.
I just lower the WS6 and seem like the day that was raining/pooring cats and dogs seems like the alternator got some water in it and damged the regulator inside...

it charges fine but, after awhile it will go up and down in surges...13...then 12...then 13...then 12..

there got to be someone making this under tray cover, maybe the Camaros came with one?!?

they dont have one stock but it honestly wouldnt take much to fab one out of ABS or even aluminum, and there are plenty of stock mounting or bolt locations you can tie into. One day i will do a full belly pan for my WS6.
