Aftermarket front under-tray replacement

[globalrebel]

So, I know a lot of us all hate the damn flimsy front skid tray/under tray that always seems to flip under itself and cause headaches.

I know that there is an already available option from aFE or something, but that is like $500?!?!

I reached out to this company in Vegas, Nevada and they can actually get one created for us for around $200. But, to do this, they will require a dummy vehicle. I don't live in NV so I figured I would post this out here to see if anyone might be interested or available to assist?

I'm sure the company will give a steep discount (if not free) to the person who provides the test fitment car.

Is anyone available that would be willing to reach out to the company and discuss what it would like like to get this done for everyone?

They make it all out of Stainless steel.

Let's just back up a little bit

It is not a "damn flimsy front skid tray/under tray that always seems to flip under itself and cause headaches"

It is there purely for aerodynamics. It was never meant to be undercover protection for the vehicle

Go back a few years and no car had anything.

The only people who put sump covers on were those in 4WDs going bush bashing.

Glad to see that you are encouraging manufacture of after market items that may be useful to anyone wanting to go do that. Kia, designing a sports car and testing it at Nurburgring obviously didn't see any need for it

Not AFE, it’s FSPE, and we carry it on our website here:
2018-2023 Kia Stinger - FSPE Lightweight Aluminum Front Bumper Skid Plate - K8 Stinger Store

You’re right that the price comes out to over $500 with shipping included, but that’s because shipping for a large, heavy item like this usually runs around $50–$60 across the country, sometimes even more.

Aluminum is lighter than steel, but it’s also more expensive, and in this case, it’s the better material to use. With the current tariffs on steel imports into the US, plus the higher shipping costs due to its extra weight, I find it hard to believe that anyone could realistically sell a similar product all-in for around $200. That seems nearly impossible.

$500+ is definitely a significant investment for a part like this, but it’s a one-time purchase that will last the lifetime of your vehicle, and the quality is truly second to none.
