Will there be an add on for those who already have the regular skid plate? I literally JUST bought mine and am anticipating some shitty roads in the near future. I really would rather not buy a brand new plate because v2.0 came out the week after I bought v1.0.Originally posted by ebelementsAlso, for those who don't know, negative camber is the greatest thing since sliced bread(panera). Even tire wear is for city busses and the elderly.Comment

I'd suggest a peerless-style support bar that could be added on...? Careful, he'll sue you if he thinks you're copying him though...'89 325is S50 Track Montser

You guys will be fine. If you have a big hit, just jack the car up and check for bends. If you find one, pull the plate and straighten it if you're worried. Also get new motor mounts but that's a logical maintenance item for everyone anyway.'89 325is S50 Track Montser

Ooh ooh I want in on this.
Peerless isn't trash talking. It's like a pepsi commercial where ppl go "mmm pepsi tastes better than coke". Or those ATT commercials where they poke at verizon and vice versa.
You can't really argue that the severe duty skid plate is beefier. It has a design rooted in history and is known to work.
FYI bending/banging the skid plate back is not an acceptable fix. Once metal bends, it is inherently weaker. Think a tab on a coke can. Do it enough and itll snap off. Bushings between the skid plate and the pan is probably a bad idea as well. Once the bushing compresses, it puts pressure on the oil pan.
I don't get what you guys have your panties in a bunch for. The "race skid plate" is weaker than the "Severe duty skid plate". If you argue that, you aren't too bright.

EJ, if you can make a brace that doesn't sacrifice any more ground clearance I'd be interested. I may be looking for the M50 version also.Comment

This. And not to mention it's a pain in the ass to have to remove the plate and straighten it out every time you whack it. I rather have a plate that can handle the abuse.

Will do. I'm leaving town for work this week and will not be back until the 29th so it will be after that. I will keep you posted.Custom Made Skid Plates For Sale.

I cant believe you posted a picture of a RC car skid plate to prove a worthless point. Even the factory e30 aggregate plate is stronger than this one. What gives???
What will the "all terrain" skidplate look like?Comment

It will look the same but with a brace that can be bolted in. So if you want to go All-terrain with your ride. So be it. If you have a Raceskids plate now and want to add the brace. you can.Last edited by ejnight; 03-17-2010, 02:25 PM.Custom Made Skid Plates For Sale.
