I wish I didn't have an m30 swap to fund...one of these would be mine.

Good luck with the group buy, OP.

I love this skid plate.. virtually indestructible, I swear. I think without this, I would've had to replace my oil pan like a 100 times already.. but I barely care where I drive now, or when I scrape lol... this thing will hold.

+1 the ribs on mine are about halfway worn down.

BEST SKID PLATE EVER!!!! taken some major hits with this thing and it still perfect, dad drove my car the other day and hit some(even though he wouldnt admit it) and broke a bolt off the bottom but, everything else is still perfectly fine. This is the only skid plate i will ever run.

Thanks guys, Glad you are enjoying em.

I like the addition bracing but I'm not crazy about welding to my car,I'm capable of doing it no problem just not liking the idea.

Is it possible to use a structural rivet,rivnut or something similiar instead?.

I feel like if it were possible to attach the cross bar with bolts, this design would be even more popular.

Welding to the car is not for everybody. I understand it's the biggest draw back to a lot of people. The area the hoop lands on the frame rails is not a perfectly smooth surface making it very difficult to make a proper connection unless welded. We have looked into several different methods of attachment but, welding is by far the best way. In order to call this skid plate SEVERE DUTY welding is in order.

Also if you're still doing the installs I'm in.

Installation is absolutely still available. :) Thanks, for participating.

There are other skid plates on the market some are of decent quality, but they all share a single design weakness. In that they all attach to the core support. While the core support is double walled material it has been proven that it is not strong enough. The second problem is that there is no direct support at the bend of the plate, under a hard impact this can flex the plate upwards and still contact the oil pan. In some cases breaking the pan.

This is where our skid plate design differs. We have developed a very sturdy cross bar that the skid plate attaches to. You are no longer depending on the core support or an unsupported plate to absorb impact loads.

This skid plate installation will require welding. The main hoop butt plates will need to be welded to the frame rails. This can be done by any experienced welder, muffler shop, trailer shop, anywhere a welder can be found. This does not mean the skid plate is permanently attached, it is only the attaching stub plates that are welded.

Our Skid Plates are installed and proven effective on a 24hr endurance E30, Several Targa Newfoundland Rally cars , Drift E30s, and many track cars.

Plate: 10 gauge, precision laser cut, 2 v-bar reinforcements down the entire length for complete support and rigidity.
