Yeah love skid plates anyway the Front skid plate would start up an underpan belly quite nicely with some added bonuses.

The skid plate stops the majority of this (have not killed an alt since installing it went through 4 of them prior to that. :-)
yeah but skid plates add a bit of weight, and intense ones can outweigh their benefits.

EDIT: just a disclaimer, ignore this if it's irrelevant.
