Factory skidplate - if I take it off will I see

A: Lower engine bay temps due to increase in airflow
B: Worse fuel economy due to decreased aerodynamics
C: All of the above
D: None of the above
E: More chicks due to the sexy D30 up front being more visable

D, None of the above.

Putting one on didn't affect any of those for me. Also, I have not "chinned" the Heep to find out if it protects the steering.

We don't need to discuss how low anybody's D-30 hangs, but mine is still visible under the front skid.
