Cheap smoothie discs for your wheels wouldn't affect your offroading at all. If you lose one on the trail, well, I did specify cheap.
Yeah that was the idea, skid plate/belly pan combo. WIth an upper aero nose that comes out to meet the radiator skid plate.

I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to make it removeable, but how big of an improvement would I be looking at without sideskirts to prevent air from being sucked under and dirtying the air flow?
