On a whim I found the turner skid plate on sale and pulled the trigger. Impressive piece, fitment was spot on and it cleans up the front end. I wanted to preserve as much of the front drop look.
Finish looks good, I may purchase some black paint for a few bolts. The only con is the additional front end weight.
Shipment packing for the skid plate was destroyed by shipper, I was sure the mounting hardware was lost. A corner of the plate took an impact at some point, not enough for a visceral reaction. The fact the plates remained intact during shipping is a testament to durability.
Whether through experience or luck, the seller shipped the mounting hardware separately so I had all the materials I needed. Separate the bolts into groups before you start the install. Bolts for the frame rails are the shortest of the bunch.
I ended up with two extra short bolts that I assume is used for the e90. It was nice not having to baby the bolts through the oem felt.
