Polymetal is plastic, skinned with aluminum coated with baked enamel.

The Tesla has the battery as a skid plate. It's armored but we've all seen what happens when they crash.

Standard practice is to fit two or three panels that avoid the exhaust. It's an opportunity to incorporate a diverter, spats, and diffuser. ...and dirt and water.
