    It’s a skid plate. Protects engine from debris and provides aero.

    JFC…that’s not a skid plate, and that’s no what a skid plate does.

      That is literally the aftermarket part name for it when you buy them online. You have to remove it to drain the oil. This thing is so thin it’s basically a dust cover, so all it provides is protection from road debris and helps with aero. It isn’t going to protect anything if you bottom out.
