I'm looking into skidplates for my girlfriend's 2002 Subaru Forester, she uses it off road a few times a year, and managed to tear off the factory front plastic skidplate in doing so.
I was wondering, are there any skidplates available which are cheaper than the $150 the dealer quoted for a replacement? (apparently there are zero subies in junkyards down here, so that's not an option) An upgrade is very much preferred, so it won't happen again.
I would be willing to fab one if there's a material which doesn't require welding etc that's stronger than plastic. I'm primarily a Nissan guy, I know on Xterras there have been some experiments with HDPE that have yielded some decent results...
Or if you have designs for your own custom ones that I could possibly have fabbed at a metal shop that'd be great too.
We thank you for the help!
