I'm interested in seeing your design cause i want one too. I like your thoughts Ray more coverage. Also something similar to the GT spec (louver or not) would be nice, Like others, I would prefer to open up spot allowing for oil changes more than removing the entire skid plate.

It will certainly have an oil change hole with cover. Ill press the nuts into the aluminum so you just bolt and unbolt with one tool. Ill get a sample part made and see what you guys think

PEM (or equivalent) FTW Could get expensive, but captive screws on the covers too would be excellent too LOL! But just having the nuts on the plate is already a huge benefit. I'M IN!

FXT fitment can bet tested on mine if you need to. For aftermarket headers, you could just use a separate spacer, since it won't need to come off for oil changes, otherwise that would be kind of a PITA.
