Anyone know where I can get some skid plates for a MKIV GTI? I found 1 site but just wondering if theres anymore out there.
edit:
I also have another question. I found an aluminum one from diesel geek and a OEM steel one from ECS tuning. Which do you think would be more effective? The OEM steel one from ECS seems like it could take a lot more damage, and I've heard the diesel geek ones don't work that great because the aluminum is right against the oil pan, so if something hits, it will just transfer the damage. Im also thinking the steel one because it says it sits an inch lower so it shouldnt be right up against the oil pan. Does anyone have any experience with skid plates?
My GTI is about 2'' lower and has 15''(for now) on it and I already cracked an oil pan. The roads in Des Moines are horrrrrrrible.
Here are the 2:
