Kevlar skid plates

Joe

Any chance you could make kevlar skid plates? Most of our cars are pretty low to the ground and I figure it would be a good way to protect those expensive T4's.

If your talking about just a flat panel, let me know what size and how thick, and I'll see what I can do.

How thick would the pan have to be to be strong enough to absorb various impacts and abrasion?

Not to take money from you Joe, but wouldn't some of that plastic based material used in WRC cars be a better solution?

I would hate to gouge the heck out of some relatively expensive carbon/kevlar material.

No problem and your right a plastic based material would work also.
