I've been I the process over a year testing my skid plate. fixing the errors and finding
out where the flaws could be. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c227/shaun-quill-/b23c9043.jpg
duplicated my skid plate yesterday and selling this one now,
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c227/shaun-quill-/f6748ef3.jpg
comes with the nurserts that need to be installed in the subframe with the Allen bolts that fit flush in the skidplate do the heads don't get worn down, the holes are countersunk, I also provide a 3/8 thick 3x16 aluminum spacer that goes In between the skidplate and subframe. the skid plate sits up higher then an xbrace. xbraces end up bending into your oil pan and eventually will crack your pan. skidplate has about 1/4 inch or more clearance from the oil pan. the rear of it bolts directly to your frame rails. messag me of interested.

On a e36, the oil pan is higher than the bumper, frame rails and that bar you welded the skid plate to. What's the point? If you manage to bust a oil pan, it means you've already demolished the bumper and front half of the engine ... the pan is the least of your worries at that point.

THat said, it does look mighty beefy.

ummm no? I've busted a pan before. front bumper. with bigger lip then stock was ok, frame rails have been grinded some from being so close to the ground. oil pan also sits lower then the subframe on a E36. also the oil pan sits lower than the bumper.

Big fan of the skid plate, my vert has one from the factory, I'm stock ride height and it still takes a beating sometimes with all the shit I have to drive through. Would recommend.

Is it steel or Al? How thick is the plate? How much does it weigh? If rolling that low you def need some protection.
