    Has anyone installed skid plates on your 488 GTB? If so which manufacturer did you choose? Thanks!

    Scrape Armour looks like a really nice setup. I have the suspension lifter but still am considering a skid plate set for extra protection for the unexpected..

    We are a Scrape Armor distributor. They have been quite popular. Great product. If anyone would like a solid discount on their products, feel free to PM me. Happy to throw some savings your way.

    I ordered my 488 with the suspension lifter which I hope will suffice without added protection.

    I'll second the skid pucks from Fabspeed.
    Easy installation into the OEM screw holes on the underside.
    Had mine installed and thankfully have never needed them anyway.
    Contact Travis Moran at Fabspeed [email protected]

    I have the suspension lifter as well. I have not scraped at all but I am looking into skid plates as added insurance for the unexpected time when I am going too fast forget the lifter and scrape. It happens its just a matter of when... The 488 has great ground clearance but I hope to keep the front end pristine. In the event a skid plate gets scratched it is just plastic vs the factory paint getting scratched.
