His warranty is void because he installed aftermarket turn signal fluid!!!

Isn't the skid plate held on by screws? It's possible that if you are bottoming out that you could have busted the screws that hold on the skid plate. Might as well take it to the dealer if you can get around to it!

Well I am running the no skid plate mod.....What about you Jon. It's a hot mod. the advantage is that whenever you are leaking oil....there is a cute little puddle under your car when you leave a parking space.

Lies lies all LIES! I'll have to show you next time. There are 2 "sections" of skip plate under there. One towards the front right behind the front bumper and one further back like just behiind the oil pan. Not sure if this changed from year to year bumy whole under carriage is wide open. better airflow

No I put the skid plate back on in preparation for Don Davis auto show ... one less mod that I would have to worry about

But now that I'm not going to the Don Davis thing I might have to re-"install" the no-skid-plate mod!

That's a hot mod. Not many people run that one. But that mod puts you over the 5 mod rule right. You'd have to step up to the "mild" class with that mod secured.

Buy the right size bolts and make sure to get WASHERS to go along with it, problem solved.
