I've had standard sump armor for the m42 for nearly a year now.

Has anyone smacked one of these hard enough t do any damage to the armor yet? I'm interested in this, I just want to hear the cons and see some carnage.

just installed mine and i stripped a nut on the metal strip. the plate is also pretty heavy lets see how it does.

Anything for those of us with m30 swaps yet?

At 65 MPH when my E30 hit road debris on the highway (a steel cable, scrap steel chunks/ old car parts, etc.) the skid plate not only survived an impact head on with some larger steel pieces, it also effectively acted as a sled when my front right wheel lost the ability to roll and support the car. When I finally came to rest, this skid plate saved my M20/ steering rack from being the first thing under the hood to come into contact with the road. I have not taken any photos of the plate yet since I cannot remove anything until insurance settles and the appraisal process is done. Based off of this experience, and others, like the smaller impacts suffered since its installation, I have only the best things to say about the quality and the resilience of a Red46 skid plate. I don't even want to imagine what could have happened in this situation if I didn't have it to slide on after the point of impact. I highly recommend buying one.

I had a guy checking on this but I never got back to me. I bug him again

Crap man!! I'm glad your oil pan survived....sorry about your car :(

Sorry to hear that. Worst case you can drill the nut out and use a longer bolt with another nut on top.

Ryan (RCM3) answered your question pretty good but this is quoted from Luke_M a few pages back.

So during this polar vortex deal I had my sump and probably oil pump saved by red's skid plates. Strong as hell. I bent it back with a hammer and all is well. Unfortunately my IS spoiler didn't make it. lol



Story behind the picture: I hit some black ice just as it froze over and got sideways at around 20mph. Crossed a few lanes and hit a curb nose first. It felt bad. Converted the front spoiler into a multi piece design and broke a rear wheel when I spun around. The skid plate survived though with just some nasty scratches and a decent bend.

Thanks Red46!

I'm sold. Last question: how much clearance do you lose between pan and ground running this?
