Looks like it belongs on a F-350 dually. Not feeling this one.

that looks stupid unless you're actually gonna use it for rally. as for hitting curbs, just learn how to drive. i honestly don't see how you could hit a stock height vehicle on curbs. you'd really have to try to do that.

It's part of the Lancer's "rally heritage." How's that work for ya?

As for me, I guess I'm just the worst driver you've ever met. Good for me. You don't have to like it for me to want it...

PS - just because my car is currently "stock height" doesn't mean it still will be in the future...

i’m all about rally…so if it is not ‘overpriced’ and won’t rust or tarnish from bad weather conditions…then i’ll put one on my car.

If you actually rally the car, this isn't for you. There is a vast difference between a rally skid plate and a skid plate meant for a street car.

don’t worry - i don’t jump the car!
i do simple dirt / tarmac trails…small things - i don’t do anything close to CRC events…although one day i’d love to (in a different car)
i also do some time-attach events in the summer on track, and i like to get aggressive, so i know for a fact this would help me out, as last summer i could have used something like this on the front of my mini.

Useful if you live in less than perfect places or take the car off road occasionally. I'm getting a skid plate because I enjoy taking my car onto dirt and gravel trails but with the way the engine is designed, it sits really low.

If you're as bad a driver as I am, you'd know.

you don’t need a rally car to have a little fun on a simple dirt trail.
it’s nice to mix it up a bit…tarmac gets boring after a while. lol

Try to find a good hiking trail that starts at a nicely paved road.
