But say you wanted to add one anyway. Right?
You can put it on a lift and use a plumb bob to transfer the locations of mounting points to the floor. One big piece would be optimal, but how do you get it under the car?
Coroplast is not fit for purpose and fiberglass is noxious and tedious. I suggest composite cladding; brand names include Polymetal, Maxmetal or Alumapanel. Stiff as 5/8" plywood at 1/10th the weight and twice the price (worth it because it is pre-finished). I've worked with samples:
Mostly it's used for signage. And wings on dirt-track race cars.

1) So much of the under carriage is still exposed.
2) I want to avoid metal and go with some light plastic / non metallic / non corrosive covering.
3) I guess once I have the sketches I will figure out how to mount them to the bottom right?
I can't wait to get a Tesla (don't they have such under carriage protection standard?)
