Product Review: PSG Skid Plate!

[UP2MTNS]

The PSG skidplate is pretty sweet. 3/16 thickness is definitely the way to go. Everything bolted up 100% with no issues. The mounting hardware is pretty burly and I'm sure can withstand a beating too. I'm pretty sure my oilpan/filter and engine block are pretty safe behind this tough piece of aluminum!

Is it the one with the access holes, or the solid one? Got any pics of it installed?

They have 'em 10% off over at NASIOC, which makes it the cheapest price I've seen for a front skid plate.

oops, sorry, I thought I added pics. Here it is.....no access plate, that's illegal for stage rally, so with the future in mind, I didn't go that route. It literally takes less than 5 minutes to drop the plate and re-mount it for oil changes, etc.

It looks great, I want one.

[WRXCMM]

i need one...how much do these run for?

[409industries]

The access hole is a cool option, but yes illegal for stage rally. The plate is not difficult to remove and install. I do it all the time without any help.. just using my hands (and a little help from my leg)

:)

[UP2MTNS]

yeah, pretty much the same plate. the mounting hardware is a little beefier than my 'old' skid plate. :)

[BlueREX04]

Yea defiantly It would almost be better if the bolts were Frenched in.

[kreitz3]

Oui.

[BlueREX04]

Nice... :-) I was wating for some one to catch that. just so that the bolts dont get sheered off.

[UP2MTNS]

if the bolts were Frenched in.

what's that?

Like countersunk?

[JacksonRally]

Yea countersunk is awesome and I do that on prerunners but for a race truck I usually just leave the bolt-head exposed....Why?? Well the countersunk hardware likes to trap dirt where you would normally put the allen wrench to remove it and dirt has moisture so it likes to rust, now you have a not so ideal fit of wrench to bolt and usually strip out the bolt. Now if its just plain tight you push harder and strip out the head. Or if you landed on a rock and damaged the bolt a little you cannot put the allen wrench in.....so you end up having to weld something onto it to remove it....so the standard hex-head bolt even though ugly is more practical....my .02

[409industries]

Yeah ive never had and problems with it exposed like that. But then again, im not getting airborne and landing on exposed rock either...

but we can dream......for now.....

[409industries]

soon enough! i'm seriously considering DMS 50mm's now. Ok were getting off topic again (in true DI fashion)

[Not All There]

looks good, id like to see how they do at some of the rally's up here in the next few months. Cant wait for one for my 95 impreza!

[worldrallyblue]

mmmmmmmmm DMS 50mm's.............. one day

[BlueREX04]

Yea sorry been busy.. Frenched is having the bolt assembly set in so it is either flush or out of the way of debris.. some one might have already said this. :)

[BlueRu]

I love the sig Blue!

[BlueREX04]

Thanks BluRu I saw it and I just had to have it!
