"Rally" Skid plate
 
I was just playin around with my xmod till i decided to make a new skidplate. This is a pretty good skidplate cuz it keeps rocks n stuff out of the inside of the car.
Skidplate without the body:

My guess is either a Mountain Dew, Sprite, or Canada Dry bottle. ;)

Have you field tested that? The normal skid-plates are good but does that really keep the debris out?

It could unexpactedly channel it in. If it works can you post a pic with the measurements.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE COME UP WITH A WAY TO GET SOME MORE GROUND CLEARANCE :( .

I've read about a dual tire setup but I havent tried it yet.

anymore ideas?

I tested the skidplate today. It really does work because i had less dirt and grime than when i ran it with the regular skidplate. The only thing thats not so good about the skidplate is that leaves sometimes get stuck under the second layer. BTW i used a sierra mist bottle:p

Maybe if you can find a way to extend the dampers and just stretch the springs...
