Re: T31 bash plates (Full Undercarriage Protection Set)
Just wanted to post this information which most of you (and especially those of you who already experienced undercarriage damage) may already know:
A quick calculation of the cost to replace any of the major undercarriage components will show you the true value of the bash plates:
• The approximate cost to replace the front Oil Sump is $2,200 (parts only)
• The approximate cost to replace the rear Differential is $4,500 (parts only)
• The approximate cost to replace the Rear Bumper is $900.00 (parts only)
That’s close to $7,500 just for 3 components of your car not including labour to fit them.
The full undercarriage protection and the bash plates will make sure these expensive components are fully protected and will replace the pathetic plastic guards that are there at the moment.

Re:
Hi Gail,
As you stated correctly, the bash plates can withstand a reasonable knock but they're not built or designed to be bullet proof for sure.
The service guys will almost never tell you about anything they see under the car until it is too late or is causing the car to behave differently.

Re:
The rear bumper acts as a scoop especially if the beach exit is rough can can rip off. To prevent the bumper from ripping you'll need the rear bash plate to tuck it in. Don't know any other effective ways of tucking the bumper. Lots of documented incidents in the earlier posts in this thread.

Re:
Look at the suspension lift thread for options. With the right mods, the exy goes to a lot of places. Have a look at the other threads.
