Aluminum Street Shield Skid Plate
Turner must've recently came out with this skid plate that fits F2x/3x 2/3/4 Series. What do you guys think about adding it for extra protection under the car? Too much? Price is a little steep, but I think it might be good insurance from damaging components from road debris, etc. Appreciate any thoughts or experiences if you've had/have one.

It's definitely better protection but won't improve airflow much if at all.
Also it's for RWD cars only. FWIW |

I have a Turner skid plate for my f80, but I haven't bought one for my m235. Skid plates are highly recommended for f80s because of the oil cooler placement.
My stock m235 under panel has seen better days. I will probably replace it with one of these down the road because why not.

I went to install the Turner skid plate and noticed the stock skid plate had two squares cut out close to the turbo and wasn't sure if they were there to help cool the turbo? The Turner version doesn't have those openings.

I noticed that in the pics and reached out to Turner. They basically told me it was on for 4cyl cars that supposedly don't have those turbo cooling holes.
