Skid Plates

[Jackal]

I like it better because it is more practical where you could do an oil and filter change without having to drop the plate. My question is how much more weight is being added to the front underside of your car compared to the plastic piece? If I decide to continue throwing my car in all sorts of events or just spirited driving both at the track and off road how will this affect me.

1. 1/4 times with more weight.
2. Off road rally gravel driving front to rear weight bias especially when braking etc.

Just looking for answers or opinions.

Agreed, this one is more practical. Where can a guy buy one of these anyways? Or maybe some specs to build our own?

Jackal has some good questions I'd like to know what the added weight is as well.

Will this fit the RA's? I don't think the undertray mounting points are the same on the X.

Bump. Anyone know if/where this can be bought in Canada?

MTZL Where did you find those pictures? Is that custom someone made or could that be purchased? I gotta get rid of that flimsy plastic crap under there for the driving I do lol, trouble finding something worth investing that can take a beating without suffering cooling or performance.

Im trying design one for our RA. With SST Drain pannel & Filter Pannel.

It will not be overnight thing since I have to save money for build materials & learn to use AutoCAD & some other softwares.

I know the 2 owners of a machine shop next door to where I work.
A friend of mine works for some metal company.

I just need to pull the resources together & make it happen.
Unless someone step up & offer a solution.
