Nice product but the design has a flaw. It lacks holes to screw it to the bumper. The flap will crush, unfold, tear if you dont add something to keep it in place. I added some brass threaded inserts to the bumper and drilled some holes on the plate to secure it with some m2 screws.
only lasted a couple days, then the front bent down and broke off
The front skid plate does not last long - the front lip got bent down after 2 runs. Rear skid plate lasts longer.
I have gone through 3 of these so far. They will bend down and drag. I'm going to explore other options.
Great quality and fitment like you would expect from Tekno. Protects the chassis nicely!
Reviewers agree the skid plate fits well and protects the chassis, with praise for fitment and build quality. The main recurring problem is the front lip, which several owners report bending down, sometimes after only a couple of runs, and then dragging or breaking off. One reviewer noted the design lacks mounting holes for securing the flap to the bumper and added inserts and drilled holes to fix it. Another reported going through three units. Rear plates were described as lasting longer. Reviews are mixed overall, with the lower ratings concentrated on durability of the front flap.
