DieselGeek vs ECS Tuning skid plates
Posted by: Jedi mind trick (1701) on 2017-11-25 20:27:08	Share \| Report

Any opinions or experience with the DieselGeek Panzer skid plate vs one that has shown up on ECS Tuning? Similar designs. It looks like the DieselGeek plate maybe covers more, goes farther back under the pan?

DieselGeek $229

- DG for sure. better coverage, and thicker material. It has saved me several times. - ski ya later 2017-11-26 10:44:22 (528 views)
  - if Jedi is correct the ECS is 25% thicker - Obijuan 2017-11-26 16:25:05 (562 views)
- High probability that ECS just knocked off the DG design... support the little guy, not ECS. - Roger 2017-11-26 05:41:08 (462 views)
- Same thickness? - UrSkid 2017-11-25 16:27:39 (480 views)
  - DG: 1/8" alum 12 lbs; ECS 5052 alum 4mm 14 lbs, so about the same. - Jedi mind trick 2017-11-26 16:09:54 (420 views)
    - .125 and .157 so 25% thicker - Obijuan 2017-11-26 16:23:55 (566 views)
