Foot shield?

What is this thing? Is it stock?

I am talking about the black panel thing above the pedals. You will notce that there is a part of it that hangs down over the hood release that I keep catching my fingers on.

I do not mind removing it at least to save my knuckles. And I think it is a bit ill fit.

Can't have any real purpose right...except to kepe the mud dauber's nests fallong on my boots.

Looks like it almost fits like it is supposed to be there.

Tim

I doubt it's OEM.

I've never seen one before either.

Thats not factory, if it bothers you then lose it. It certainly looks out of place.

Yeah I figured it was not OEM....just did not know if it was a JC Whitney brainiac add on.

It is going. My knuckles need healing.

It did not bother me ...except the missing skin on my knuckles.

It is gone now....and has opened up a whole new world...

Anyone want to buy it?

OK...you know that is not serious...LOL
