These skid plates are a steal compared to factory counterparts. Too bad these parts rust - especially on "SUVs" that tend to get wet and dirty under the floor. Modern cars, I just wish Dorman would make this model in a two piece configuration like they do for many other models. This would eliminate the need to remove the axles and make installation much easier. As well as complaining here, I emailed Dorman saying the same thing. That passing complaint aside, these parts look great and I'm sure they will last the rest of my car's life.
