When I installed Eibach springs on the car, when pulling it off the lift, it pulled off the majority of the plastic under the car. (smooth, I know)

I tried to re-pin and zip tie back together but it's still not as tight as it was before, and sometimes rubs when going over bumps etc.

Do all of you leave your plastic skid plates installed?

 

It sounds like you should just get a metal skid plate lol. Those plastic plates are cheap as heck! Mine was destroyed just by hitting something on the road.

 

Mines still under there and in perfect shape after 3 years and Im lowered on Eibach as well. Ive looked into metal ones but no way Ill pay $500 for something I dont need at the moment.

 

destroyed mine by hitting a rock in the road while driving Angeles Crest Hwy. It's currently being held together with zip ties, while i decide on whether or not to make my own under tray or buy one of the premade ones..

 

Made my own from abs plastic and works like a charm. Plan to eventually reproduce it in Al, but money is tight, at the moment

 

Do you have a cad / CNC / drawing file? or measurements that you would be willing to share with the group? I am sure many others are interested, like me in making their own.

Thanks in Advance!!

Maybe you could speak more of your process on how you made it of ABS?

 

Its not anything fancy, by any means, I just used a large flat sheet and laid the stock tray atop it for basic shape/size and made sure to cut a bit larger than necessary so that I could trim to fit the way I wanted during install. I can take some measurements, but its really not anything that most go-getters couldn't work out on their own

 

I am lowered on Tein S-Techs and mine are perfect still and with 50miles on the car I took it off road mud and all lol best way to break it in I think
