It's certainly the nicest thing on the Rot Rod by a very good margin:





(EDIT - Fixed link. Thanks, lateapex911!)

I wanted to note, perhaps there was concern over the ability of the composite material to withstand the torque of the M10 fasteners, but I did torque all 4 fasteners to 35 ft/lbs and there really is no issue with this, they pull up to torque just as well as you would expect (perhaps better!) than the steel plate.

Also I risked life and limb to shoot some strength demos... if you're unconvinced of the durability of the skid plate these might change your mind. Sorry for the poor quality! Some good comedy, though...
