Default Skid Plates Anyone?

well, I designed a composite of a procharger J bracket and powerdyne F-body bracket to allow me to use the procharger belt drive system on a Scorpion head unit. It placed the head unit scroll about three inches below the lower radiator support. I'm thinking a steel skid plate running from the lower support to the rack and pinion plate is probably a good idea. Anyone else need to add some protection to their low slung setups?

I think I will go by the local 4 by 4 store and ask if they have a skid plate for a F-Body?

I've been wanting to do a front undertray and belly pan on the car, but I lack a rivet gun and a few other tools to make it possible. I'd love to get it done and see what gains I could get even on MPG. We all know how funky the underside of our cars are and how bad the turbulence must be as well!
