More info
Primitive Skidplates offer the best protection for the underside of your car, they are rally proven, tough enough for off-road abuse or to save you from that random piece of debris laying in the middle of the freeway.
- Made From 5052 Aluminum.
- Polished Finish.
- Offers full protection of the underside of the engine.
- Rear edge of the plate is up-turned so if you have to reverse over something it won't get hung up.
- Improves aerodynamics and airflow.
- Does not reduce radiator or cooling system efficiency.
Thickness:
The 3/16" is the most popular, if you have any doubt about if you're even getting extreme enough off-road to warrant the added protection we automatically recommend getting the 3/16". The added cost and weight over the 1/8" is very minimal, but the one time you need it, it pays for itself. We also recommend it for any vehicle participating in Rallycross.
- 3/16" Plate weighs 18.5lbs
Oil Change Access Hole:
**** FUMOTO VALVE IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THIS MODEL ****
The Oil Change Access option gives you the ability to change your oil with out removing the Skidplate, it is a 2.5" round hole that gives you access to the drain plug. For more info read this article: http://get-primitive.com/blog/oil-change-access-holes/
