The point is they stick out an inch from the bumper and deflect cones at drift days and help the car skid over curbs, dirt and rocks when you go off the track. We're not talking about pros or even well pre-paired tracks. Shit happens.

We can debater to no end it's actual effectiveness, but if people think it works, well trusting your weapon is half the battle.

Let them have fun and in 5 years maybe they will go "god that was dumb".

That post had nothing at all to do with plywood splitters. The discussion has moved onto "skid plates".



I simply don't understand what oil pans realistically need to be protected from that a simple, easily and cheaply replaceable, piece of aluminum sheetmetal can't handle. Matej in particular seems to be interested only in "skid plates" that are capable of withstanding a scud missile attack.
