    They are ready to ship but I understand wanting to see some installed pics.
    If you order 2 plates shipped to the same address I can do the pair for $300/shipped
    I'll see if I can get Brad (SpiDmang) to post some installed pics. He was my prototyper.

      We do rallycross and such. Honestly we don't hit it that much. I went all last season (9 events) without a skid plate and m42 and was fine. It's more just a reassurance type of thing.

        If you want one without the drainhole just let me know. I'm only going to do it by special request and prepaid.

          Will do. I might just get the one with it and then bend a piece of metal and bolt is over the hole so I can take it off for oil changes. Just scared of rocks going in the hole and getting stuck inbetween the plate and pan. I had that happen on my m42 raceskids plate on my old m42 car that was lowered when I drove down a stone driveway once. One hard hit with the rock in there could be no bueno. For road use it'd be fine, but with rallycross where sometimes you could hit ruts or piles of dirt, that might just scoop up rocks/dirt.

            hmm....
            I could cut a couple small holes on each side of the large drain hole and weld nuts to the back side to allow a coverplate to bolted on.

              Exactly what I would do with it. But if you want to already have it made like that for me, that'd be awesome. ;) Let me know. I'll paypal you money for an m50 and m42 plate probably sometime later in the week probably around Thursday.

                I'm not going to be able to do that on this batch. But I'll look into it on the next one.

                  Payment sent! Can't wait to add some oil pan protection before my next ice race at Blackrock Speedway in Dundee NY.
                  It might be an night race, which should be wild!

                      How long would you think until the next batch? I wanna order 2(one for m50, other for m42). I don't mind waiting a couple weeks.

                        That all depends on how fast these sell. I'll just have to wait and see.
                        I'm not really sure I will even do the removable drain hole cap. Unless there is a lot of interest, it's a lot of work for one or two SkidPlates. Again I'll just have to wait and see. I hope you understand.

                            even funnier is you thinking that you know how I plan to mount it, just because its being sold to be mounted that way.

                            Because I never modify anything

                            EDIT: I assume you're referring to the skids that e30motorwerks makes, and I can assure you that there will be something along those lines providing the primary support, at least before I work this car up to rallysprint/stage rally. FYI, a rallycross car doesn't take the kind of hits that a stage-rally car does on the skid. I think I only hit my current skid once all last season, and it hardly dented my current 14-ga stainless plate. This car has as much ground clearance as the 4Runner sitting next to it.....if I'm hitting the skid, it means I'm off course ;)
