I have a beat rush under tray that I no longer use just cause i hate taking them off to do oil changes and what not if your interested in that let me know but if not Hit up speed element they can normally order up skid plates. I also highly doubt a shop would stock them locally just cause of how much room they take up.

^ That looks... heavy? I remember seeing an aluminium skid plate that had a cut out for your oil drain bolt and a panel that opens up for the fuel filter? Or maybe it was the other way around.
That one looked nice! and really convenient

If in doubt, FLAT OUT

Thin aluminum plate is what most of them are made out of and stupidchicken's is too, I believe, so weight shouldn't be an issue if it is.
The one with cutouts sounds like/is probably the raliktek or similar.
Fuel filter only an issue for 05 and up IIRC
