Stock Plastic Skid Plate question. - Subaru Outback

Anson · 09-14-2010, 05:15 AM

Hi,
Did a bit of off-roading last weekend on the beach.
I ripped the Skid Plate off when I bottomed out - put it back on today and im not 100% sure if it should be hanging down like this...Cant remember what it was like before, but fairly sure it should be "Flush" with the rest of the car...
The subby is an '06 3.0R.
Cheers.

This. Try Rallitek, Primitive, or make good friends with someone who works in a machine shop.

Cheers for that guys, I'll have to make one at work out of alloy when we get a bit quieter... Might even make up a rear skid plate as well.
Will 3mm plate be thick enough?

**Brucey** · 09-15-2010, 12:52 AM

3mm might be a bit too thin. Mine is 3/16th and I wish I would have gone for a full 1/4 sometimes. It depends on what you're doing though I guess.
