Have a 2017 Honda Accord seems the Splash Pan underneath the car everytime I take the Car to a Mr Lube or Oil Changers the Splash Pan has to be loosened and turned to access the Oil Drain Plug.. Hence when the Plug is re inserted and the Pan is secured back in place they invariably forget to Zip Tie a hole (Factory installed tabs to hold pan in place are not made to last).. Crawling over Speed Bumps are a killer and just this past Monday we got a good dump of snow hence I had to travel 2 1/2 kms on an unplowed road.. Bent the Splash Pan / Guard even more.. Having said all this , Is the Splash Pan all that necessary , is there any economic benefit to having it on at all.. Thoughts Appreciated, Cheers Thanks

You just have to keep band-aid repairing those or toss them all together.
They're good to have with that being said. They do strengthen the lower front bumper cover
somewhat and protect from splash getting onto the drive belts.
I've replaced dozens and dozens of those and dealer mark up is nuts. Go E-bay
