Protect critical driveline, chassis and exhaust components from damage, while reinforcing the chassis from rear tunnel to front subframe and provide a smooth undercarriage with our ECS Tuning Street Shield Tunnel Brace!
For the daily driver at stock height or the enthusiast with an aggressive suspension drop, our ECS Aluminum Street Shield Tunnel Brace adds peace of mind and protection against potholes, road debris and other predators looking to ruin your day.
Constructed from 5/32" (4.0mm) thick 5052 aluminum and weighing in at only 12lbs, with built-in air ventilation, our Street Shield Tunnel Brace is sure to stand up to harsh road conditions.
Additionally, our brace encompasses the full length of the mid-undercarriage from the front subframe to the rear tunnel cross brace to provide complete protection and reinforcement. Conveniently this kit includes zinc-coated steel subframe hardware along with OEM coated fasteners. An aluminum adapter attaches the tunnel brace to the back of the front subframe for rigidity and ease of installation.
Engineered and manufactured in the USA, you can expect nothing but the best performance and longevity with our superior Aluminum Street Shield Tunnel Brace from ECS Tuning!
*NOTE: Minor trimming of the heat shielding is required to access the carrier support bearing bolts and to provide a flat mounting surface. This is very easy to cut with a sharp blade or tin snips. See our Installation PDF for more information.
** NOTE:** This kit includes 1 aluminum tunnel shield and necessary hardware for installation. Other products shown in photos are for reference and are available for purchase separately.
*** This product is not compatible with our ECS billet aluminum tunnel brace ***

We update our catalog daily to provide the most accurate fitment information possible. When shopping for parts, please use the “select your vehicle” car selector on the home page. Once you've selected your car, you can filter parts specific to it.
Additionally, on each product page, we have a tab for fitment information. By clicking on "Fitment", you can scroll and verify the part you are about to add to your cart indeed fits.
Furthermore, if you have a vehicle added to our vehicle selector and you are viewing a product page, you'll see fitment information below the "add to cart" button. If an item fits your car it will display "This Part Fits Your: Selected Vehicule". If an item does not fit your vehicle a message will display "This Part Does Not Fit".
A “Core Charge” is similar to the deposit you might pay for a can or bottle of soda. In many states, to promote recycling, you are charged a deposit when you purchase a can of soda and you receive your deposit back when you return the empty can. Many automotive parts have Core Charges that work the same way as a soda can deposit. The most common car parts that include a core charge are alternators, calipers, steering racks, and fuel injectors.
"MAP" pricing, or Minimum Advertised Pricing, means that the vendor set a minimum retail price that we're not allowed to violate. MAP items cannot be discounted because the decrease in price would violate that threshold.
