I spent a good hour or two cutting out some extra 3M material I had leftover from doing a clear bra on my car. Thought this would work out great. Cut it to the chassis and everything. Lasted less than a 5 min practice on track. I've come to the realization that chassis are supposed to wear, and you replace them when they do. It's a part of racing. I will never run skids or anything that sticks below the chassis as this affects the suspension up travel, and if you set your ride height to the skid to get back the up travel, then you just raised your entire ride height by the thickness of the skid. No thanks. It doesn't matter what the bottom of your chassis looks like, no one "should" ever see it unless you're having 'one of those days' at the track
