I have the oem aggregate plate on my car w/ a 24v swap. I welded nuts to the front subframe for the rear holes and made plates with studs for the fronts, and welded them to the frame rails. Two bolts and two nuts hold it on and it can be removed in ~30 seconds. It is ridiculously stout and has saved my pan countless times.

what does the OEM piece mount to?

That guy a few posts back said to the grounding lugs I guess on the inside of the body frame.

ejnight makes some very good plates for our cars; he's on here somewhere.

Thanks for the kind words. I have an m42 plate.
This is it installed on a 91 318is.

No thats me, but I'll take that as a compliment.

People have said I look like Eric Clapton, I just don't see it though (and I play guitar a bit more like Tiny Tim).

Only pointing out that that is a piece that is a fine bit of engineering from the late 80's and to reproduce it would be pricey.

The guy's behind the R&D did a wonderful job of solving a problem if only they would come back and produce it on their own.

The plate is reasonably simple but the mounting bracket posses some difficulties to produce, so what would that be worth money wise for a finished product that will function and fit?

Those were in the price range of about $300 (1980s Dollars) when they were available.

Im shocked that you havent bragged about sussing out one made of ultralight alloys that has been thoroughly tested on a chassis shaker and simply rivets on. Its would probably stop a .50 caliber round too. Oh and enhances aerodynamics (you have figures, but you spilled your coffee on them), and strengthens the chassis too. Is that something r3v might be interested in?

[MrWizard]

Agreed^ id love to find someone willing to make and sell a skid plate that will just bolt on to stock mounting points.
