    here is my REAL e30 skidplate :)

    well after a fateful night of canyon running plus a bunch a rocks my 666 fab plate was in poor condition. It did its job real well but it screwed it self up pretty bad in doing so.. Anyways i finally got around to having my buddy cholo making me a real skidplate at his shop .. here are the pics :)
    what it consists of..
    1 2inch cross bar (bolted from frame horn to frame horn just behind the radiator)
    2 2x2 riser blocks (welded on to the subframe the only permanent mod)
    1 piece of 1/8 inch plate steel..
    The plate is super firm im going to get it powdercoated in a week or so .. ill have better pics of it when its off the car :)






    Anyways im sure improvements can be made to this but we were kinda fabbin as we went.. im real impressed with the product.. you can too if u live in socal.
    They cost 225 installed hit me up :)

      for the kind of driving i do its perfect.. im on the twisty mountain roads 1/2 the time in this car and have destroyed one pan without a plate and one with a skid plate.. Im not trying to make any money on these plates at all just directing people on where they can get them made :)

                You could easily jack the front of the car up with that thing.

                Nice work:up: :bow:
