Would you be able to take some side shots? Curious how far it hangs down under the car.

not worth it , you cant see it

i had the B&M trans pan on my old G8 which even deeper , and it was about even with the 3" exhaust i had on it , and i only scraped the pan once going into my old job , the driveway looked like a mountain with a sharp peak to it , otherwise it never hit anything or scrapped anywhere

Someone else had done that and from my own account, it's still not the lowest hanging piece under there so ground clearance is not an issue.

The pan appears to be on a nationwide backorder with no suppliers actually having it in stock (vs drop ship).

RockAuto shows a 1 day delay. Amazon.com seems to have it in stock (and a better price at $20).

Rockauto would not let me purchase it and last I saw amazon was out of stock. Summit had a 1 day delay and then it was pushed back a month.

Maybe try a dealer or GMPartsDirect? They might have their own stock.

I don’t need it ASAP, I can wait for summit to get it to me. I’d like to find a skid plate as well since I’ve scraped the middle of the car a bit here and there.

Interesting, I can’t find that part number anywhere (the new one). Guess I’ll see what summit does.
