Need some input on a idea I've been tossing around for awhile.

My undercarriage has been taking a beating since I dropped the car again. If it was just the frame I wouldn't be concerned but with all the extra turbo piping (crossover, dump tube, 3" exhaust, etc..) its becoming a problem. The exhaust flanges alone are taking out road reflectors daily...

So I'm wanting to get a full undercarriage scrape guard. Anyone done this before? Where can I buy? Was thinking I may have to hit up the 4x4 shops since they build scrape guards all the time. Thoughts?

An example:

B you can build one your self so easy.. First build it out of cardboard, bolt it down like it was made out of Stainless Steal or Aluminum. Then take your template to a shop and they can make it for you.. Done deal..

ATX350.. Find a machine shop to make you a full skid plate and lets get a group buy going.. None of the shops around me are willing to do it without charging me an arm and a leg...

Lastly.. STOP THIS MADNESS.. Some people need to read the threads and understand what AGGRESSIVE WHEELS AND STRETCHED TIRES are..
