DG Panzer skid palte installed... It is more than just a skid plate...
I didn't bother taking pics or doing a write up since DG has comprehensive directions online. The install was very straight-forward, and not difficult. I used ramps, which worked well, but it obviously would have been easier using a lift. After getting everything snugged down, I then tightened my strut tower brace bolts. The minor creaking I have been hearing is now gone, and the car feels better. The skid plate is beefy and ties in to multiple points to stiffen up the frame, and it works. It is worth every penny of the $300 price. Get one.

Nope, didn't think to weigh it. It has some holes...
There are a couple holes and one trapezoidal cutout, but not the same as the factory plastic belly pan. The skid plate is smaller than the belly pan, so it allows air to get in from the outside. I don't anticipate any problems with heat.
