I'm thinking about getting some skid plates for my car for the upcoming rally x season and needed some advise. I drive an evo x and these parts are hard to find and expensive so I want to make I get this right. This is the only place I can find them so far...

I will get the under guard for sure but was wondering if I should pick up any of the other plates(under floor, tank, diff., etc.) If I have a lot of money, I would pick them all up but unfortunately, I'm kinda broke. So I will only buy the ones that you guys think are essential. Thanks in advance!

I got a press release from Rally Innovations awhile back on this part for the new evo that they are making. pm me your email address and I'll forward it to you. I only have it as a PDF.

I would say get the front underguard skidplate especially if your car is lowered, and mudflaps if you are concerned about your paint. I don't know of any companies that make skidplates for your car, but Rally Armor has Evo X flaps.

$1246 for a skid plate? Sheesh. I hope it mows the lawn too.

I feel your pain. I'm still looking for skidplates for the damn VIII, and am coming up empty. The Rally Innovations lightbar and plate seem good for what they are, but I am looking for more substantial protection for oil pan, tranny, diff, etc. I might just have to go ahead and make my own.
