Has any 6speeder used the skid plate underneath the engine for protection ? Any thoughts ?

 

have looked at it too, seems to make sense and i'm going to look into getting one, i have spoke to many with it, install is a easy DIY job, and it's meant to be pretty light..
i went to the dealer to pick one up since they said they have it in stock but they landed up pulling a huge piece of plastic out.... guess they didn't understand what i wanted...

 

I have it, put it on when I had my ROW 030 installed. For about $100 bucks, why not. If you want I can take pics later... My dealer didn't even question it when I went in for service, I guess since it does have a porsche part number on it.

 

I have one. I think it makes the most sense if you have lowered your car. As "mods" go, it's one of the cheapest and somewhat practical.

 

Any links to who makes the best one, and if it's OEM, might you have the model number?

 

Here's a link from Ebay ? I was thinking of bidding but since the current price + shipping will be close to the brand new price from dealer, I will just buy it new from my local dealer.

Part Number:


996 107 981 00 Protective Plate

 

Bought it from Gert and had it on my 2003 Coupe great $ to spend its an engine saver if you ever bottom out which when I had my H&R coilovers I did scrape 1 or 2 times

 

will that skid plate work for 996 turbo?

I have one, and it has come in hand a few times backing out of steep driveways......makes lots of sense especially if your car is lowered.

 

Yes, the same part number.

 

i think you should take one out of the pick up you were driving today!!

nice meeting you today! how about some pics of the techart wheels.

 

Hahaha... Yeah... Nice meeting you too... I bet you and Arling liked my Tacoma 4S...

 

i thought it was a tacoma TT, or just a stage 4! let's get together with some socal 6speeder sometimes. by the way, that cell phone is hot. may look into getting one too!

 

do these things come with any hardware or is it just the skid and it bolts up to existing bolts and locations...?
also does it bolt to the Chassis or the block, just want to know where the force of a hit will be transferred too....
