Description:

Looking for Skid Plate. Aluminum or steel. Preferably a lightweight one.

i know the Orranjep one is the lightest of them all but shipping will be too much from the UK. ECS has one Race Skids but no info on weight.

Thanks for looking.

On a crazy whim a couple of years back when MiniMania was having a sale I bought the steel Ultrik sumpguard (black one in the pix you provided) but never installed it because it's so damn heavy at 22.5 lbs so it's just sitting in my garage.

The Rennline weighs in at 10.4 lbs.

Orranje lists theirs at 9.2lbs.

Something you may consider as an alternative is a splitter design like this one from Sneed4Speed where it extends further back enough to provide some sump protection:

Ya i was eyeing that for awhile. But just finished my front splitter set up now.

Thank You. In talks with orranjep shipping is not that much. It’s 170 euro shipped to US. And they are the lightest one.

what are you gonna do with yours? It’s steel so it should be Bulletproof compare to the rest.

Bulletproof?

It's bombproof!


Dunno if it will ever be installed.

That's actually a good price on the Orranje, they're great guys and work with you best they can on shipping prices in my experience.

Ya great customer service for sure and they do custom parts. Wish they were closer. They got all the retrofit goodies lol

you think it’s not worth it installing? My cars slam. I already have the aluminum PS fan guard. No Plastic splash guards Just worried on road kills. But being too low prolly won’t even make it under the car LOL

I wish that they had a US distributor, that'd be great!

I was talkin' about the heavy one I got not worth being installed due to massive weight penalty given I'm not super low so decided against it in the end.
