some1 told me that get a plate and fit it to the frame shouldnt cost more than $50 dollars. you can get it bolted like stated above or with cut outs to get to the oil filters and things like that. i saw that idea up close and personal at the last car show the subaru rally WRX had the whole under body covered

When I do it, if I have a digi, I'll get some pics.
That would be tight if you could do that. Thx!
