Yeah, but I'm wrong. If the work is done in Michigan, then Michigan tax will be applied, no matter where the car is from. Only if Ryan ships it out-of-state does he not charge sales tax.

South Side Performance also makes them for $375 + tax/shipping. I got a custie one before theirs went into production and it was $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

My custom one is 1/4in aluminum attaches the same way the OEM plastic cover does those are all the specs I have/know of if I had more I'd send them to you.

That SSP plate is not a rally plate. Yeah, it might be enough for some or even most rallycross events, but it is not a real skidplate by any stretch of the imagination. Plus, I am not at all impressed by the method of attachment.

Same goes for the CBRD plate.

Apologies. I'm not sure now where I saw the other, thin, road-racing plate.

I know you are looking for something stronger but heres my SSP under panel. It's only 13lbs and bolted on really good. I ran over something today, not sure what it was but it was big and heavy, the panel did what its suppose to do.

Besides being way too thin, the other problems with using an SSP underpanel as a skidplate include: (1) the lower lateral suspension braces should either be part of the plate or protected by it, (2) the plate should overlap the front half of the lower K-frame at a minimum, (3) the plate should be firmly mounted to the chassis under the radiator/intercooler, (4) there shouldn't be any access ports, and (5) all of the exposed bolts should have round heads.

I point these out not to rag on SSP (because they sell it as an undertray, not as a skidplate), but to point out why you don't want to use an undertray as a skidplate.
