Thumbs up 2008-2013 WRX/STi Front Rally Skidplates Group Buy!!!

With the first batch of rally skidplates done for 02-07 WRX/Sti we have found a lot of people are interested in these front skidplates for 2008-2013 WRX/STi.
I am gauging interest first to see how many we would likely get produced. The more get made, the cheaper it is.

Please reply if you are interested in getting one of these sweet 1/8" aluminum rally skidplates made for your 08 or newer ride!

1/8"? Shouldn't it be thicker? If I bottom out on 1/8" aluminum, it's gonna bend or crack depending on the material (btw what is the material? 5052? 6061?)

If you could get like 3/16" (.188) material, I would be interested.

1/8" is perfect for street use. 3/16" is just a bit much unless it's going to be used the way it's intended xD.

Will a cutout be available?

I suppose that's true. I guess the thread title threw me off... It's a street skid plate, not a rally skid plate.

what material will it be made of? will it hold well to salt/tahoe trips?
will it have a cut out/flap for easy oil change?

How can you call it a rally skidplate if you're only using that grade aluminum? thats hardly a skid plate more like an undercarriage

Agreed. It's not a skid plate. It's an aluminum under tray.

It's the same thickness that every other vendor offers in their skidplates. It's better than using the plastic junk we currently have underneath. If it comes with the cutout for the filter it'd be a great option to have.

No new word on this?
