Some of you may have saw these in general thread but figured I'd post it in Nytro section.
We now offer a skid plate to replace they wimpy stock plastic panel. They are $65 each and include mounting hardware. Here are some details.
3/16" 6000 series Aluminum. With no sharp bends in our design we are not required to use a softer series aluminum. 6000 series aluminum makes for a very robust plate!
Removable with out taking lower side panels off.
Solid metal to metal fit up. Plate requires some minor plastic trimming to allow this. The plate serves as a template to mark plastics for trimming so its an easy task with tin snips or a multi tool etc. By not sandwiching plastic it helps ensure the bolts won't loosen up as plastic compresses over time.
Plate has an angled return on front so there is no square edge to catch on objects
Plate extends beyond front heat exchanger to help ensure struck objects won't catch on lower lip of exchanger.
Plate mounts to subframe utilizing threaded clips and bolts. No more plastic push pins!

As you can see in this photo the heat exchanger has some damage from inadequate protection of the factory skid plate. Our plate will prevent this from happening.
