Product Details
The factory plastic belly pans provided for modern vehicles often act as under-engineered, cost-cutting parts that leave critical components exposed. For the daily driver at stock height or the enthusiast with an aggressive suspension drop, running without durable underbody defense leaves fragile oil pans, expensive exhaust sections, and vulnerable fuel systems wide open to severe damage from potholes and road debris. This comprehensive full-coverage system, engineered in-house by ECS Tuning, creates a unified line of defense between your underbody and any road hazards you might encounter.
Protecting the front of the vehicle is the ECS Aluminum Street Shield Skid Plate. Constructed from 3/16" (4.76mm) thick 5052 aluminum and weighing only 16.15 lbs, this plate features factory-modeled air ventilation and encompasses the full length of the engine undercarriage from the front bumper cover to the front engine subframe. It acts as heavy-duty armor to guard your engine's vitals against road predators that could easily puncture a factory pan and dump your fluids.
Moving further down the undercarriage, the kit integrates the ECS Street Shield Tunnel Brace to protect critical driveline, chassis, and exhaust components while reinforcing the midsection. Fabricated from 5/32" (4.0mm) thick 5052 aluminum and weighing only 12 lbs, this mid-brace section bridges the gap from the front subframe to the rear tunnel cross brace. It bolts directly to the front subframe and lower control arm bushing housings using included zinc-coated subframe hardware and OEM-coated fasteners to establish a smooth, aerodynamic underbody while maximizing structural rigidity.
Completing the total vehicle defense architecture is the ECS Fuel Tank Street Shield Skid Plate. Manufactured from high-strength 1/8" (3.175mm) thick 5052 aluminum and weighing 19 lbs, this panel encompasses the full length of the fuel tank to protect your gas tank, exhaust path, and rear suspension parts from impact damage or fuel theft. It fastens directly to the rear of the tunnel, the inboard trailing arm mounting bolts, and the rear subframe, utilizing an engineered exhaust housing contour that maintains ample clearance for OEM, ECS, and similarly routed aftermarket exhaust systems.
