Skid plate option

[blunttech]

Dang, I remember getting my skidplate for less than $200 from the dealer about 2 yrs ago. Prices must have gone up.

nothings going down. 02 prices have over doubled on some items in the last year or so

oooo, so it fits over the e34 m50 oil pan? b.c that thing hangs down lower than your ballsack.

yes it clears fine. theres maybe 3/16" between the plate and the pan. when i hit the brick the plate actually made the slightest contact with the pan. i was driving with my dad on the way to the track talking to him and not paying enough attn when i saw the brick. nowhere to go, i just hit the fucker. it was a violent hit and i pulled over immediately. it just has some concrete dust on the skid plate and not a mark or dent at all. it lifted my car as it went over it just enough to feel it raise. they are really stout.

259.00 as of last week. i sold one to the little cock gobbler gaziellebeigewaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles

and it was worth every overcharged cent! I haven't hit a brick yet, but i can certainly attest to it being stout.

Like others in this thread have said 1/16'' aluminum is not going to protect you from any impact. They might as well have made it out of cardboard. You could probably lay on your back and kick that piece in.

Also the point about the diamonds down catching on things. Where do you drive?

Diamond plate does not have real sharp corners and even if it did what is it going to catch on while you drive down the road?

The 666 fab plate requires drilling too.

[blunttech]

Blunt, do you have the part number on that?

that's way too thin to make any difference

just bite the bullet and get the factory piece. it will take hitting a brick at 60mph laying in the freeway. it literally lifted my car as i went over it.
