Not many manufacturers actually give a ****, either. If you can, skin the whole thing. Also, with that approach angle you will definitely want an air dam. Otherwise your belly pan will compress air under the vehicle and create lift on the highway. If you go off roading and need the ground clearance, consider a removable dam.
