[QUOTE="pierceography, post: 1364248, member: 26311"] I'm sorry that constructive thoughts instead of emotional responses don't resonate with you; But at least you managed to answer my question, and also prove why my point is perfectly valid. The skid plate is a functional instrument that doesn't serve any aesthetic purpose. So who cares if it has surface corrosion? I sure don't. The entire purpose of the device is protection of more critical components. So yes, my acceptance criteria for a *skid plate* is 100% based on its function alone. If you're concerned about corrosion, clean and seal the undercarriage. I paint corrected and applied a ceramic coat to my Raptor. Am I lamenting about how the clear coat is inferior and unacceptable for such an expensive vehicle? Nope. I understood that the clear coat scratches easier than I'd like, so I fixed it. Ford has never claimed to seal the undercarriage of any of their trucks (the same as they don't claim to apply ceramic coats to the paint), so I'm not sure where this expectation they should is coming from... As somewhat of an aside, you really should watch the emotional responses in general. Why do you have to immediately jump to personal insults when someone doesn't agree with you? You're much more likely to get your point across when you use facts and remain objective. (I will point out, that earlier in this thread I noted that if the corrosion was beyond what OP felt acceptable, he should exercise his warranty right -- I never accused him of being wrong or feeling like he shouldn't seek remediation) Anyhow, time for me to enjoy my drive home in my Raptor... Corroded skid plates and all. [/QUOTE]
