Well, finally made these. Let's just say I have some cool tools to "play" with.

Looks like some pretty big meats on that VW, got any other pics of that thing? I'm a little bit of a VW nut.

DirtSlinger,

Those look stout.
You may want to consider adding a few 2"drain holes near the back by the low spot.

And also, that's got to be the cleanest shop floor I've ever seen in a fab shop or auto shop

Thanks!

I added some drain holes as someone else mentioned as well.

Yeah, our floor... It's really nicely polished concrete. Maybe too nice. Your heart stops for a second if you even drop a bolt or socket.

That's one of my brother's toys. He's been daily driving it this summer quite a bit. About 70 miles a day.

I know where you at. I've been to jays outdoors in the past. Have to get to cops and donuts next. Do you have a retail store there? .

Haha Yeah two of my weaknesses. Cops and Donuts and guns from Jays!

I don't have any sort of store. This skidplate was just something that I designed and made with stuff at my families company. I wouldn't be opposed to make and sell them if people were interested. PM me if you would be interested in one and would give you a good deal if you stopped by and I'd put it on just to make sure they'll fit other Gen 2's besides mine

I'd be in for a set. Sadly, its a bit too far of a drive for me to be the test mule.
