Hi guys I got 2 questions...

First of all: Do i need a skid plate? I plan on getting my car muddy/snowy/dirty and doing occasional rallycross events. My car is probably close to stock height right now on coil overs.

Second question: Does anyone have a rally innovations skid guard I can try mounting up to my car? I want something exactly like this




Unfortunately rally innovations doesnt make one for the 06-07 models. Something like this with a skid plate would be an ideal setup.

Anyone have a skid plate for sale or have the ability to fabricate one for me? Thanks and happy holidays!!!

 

Have you thought about a skid plate from Primitive Racing? I think they make a skid plate for the 06-07 models.

 

Pretty sure a couple of places besides Primitive make them for 06-07.

 

yea i have and got a quote from primitive. I wanted to get the rally innovations bumper skid guard too if it works. i think it looks cool and also wanted to have the option to mount driving lights on it.

i emailed rally innovations and they said they had no plans on making it for the 06-07 models.


seeing what is out there. thanks again

 

I have had the Primitive racing plate for my 06 for 5 years, and it has saved my oil pan at least 3 times that I know of. I used to DD the car 100+ miles a day on a rough mountain road where falling rocks were frequent.

The 3/16" plate is the ONLY way to go. If you plan on driving in rough terrain intentionally buy the plate made by a rally driver for rally drivers.

 

3/6" plate? That's 1/2"! That can't be right... Right?

 

I think it's 3/16"

 

Primitive Racing website lists it as 3/16"
Primitive Racing Performance Parts

 

lol at 3/6. that would be solid!

 

if youre not concerned about weight saving and more concerned about you $800 exhaust. LOL straight bullet proof!

 

We have full underbody armor (3/16") from Primitive - and have taken hits that would have crumpled lesser plates. We also have his lightbar with a pair of FF1000's and a pair of FF500's hanging off the front end.
We've never had an issue with a Primitive Racing product.

 

i have the primitive racing one as well, thing is solid! just a couple weeks ago up here in montana i hit a huge rock coming around a corner, barely dented the skid plat, but then rolled under the car putting a hole in the gas tank about the size of my thumb time for a full underbody skid plate! lol

 

Ya 3/16" lol. The 1 on my work keyboard sucks.

The above happens a lot on the road I drive on. Remember a chain of accidents where one rock caused a busted oil pan, and the same rock along with the oil slick popped a fuel tank.

 

It will deff help keep your engine bay a lot cleaner when going off road, plus all the added protection.


I made my own and its been working out great.
