Aluminum Underbody Shields?

[Kpwweb]

Anyone replace the stock plastic underbody shield (faux skid plate) with the aluminum kit offered by GM (pn 23176881)?

How was it/how does it fit?

Any pics?

I'd be interested in a real pic and what it actually covers and protects

Me too! Most "descriptions show a picture of the current plastic underbody shield. ^. This is incorrect.

The correct picture is this one.

I'd love to see one on a truck to also see what it covers, how it installs, and if it is any better than the plastic unit. I'm inclined to think so, but...

Btw, it looks like top and bottom are reversed (flipped) in this pic... They should both be rotated 180 degrees. And I'm not entirely sure where the black plate goes?

My 2004 has a tiny little skid plate like that black one under the transfer case. That'd be my guess.

That makes sense. Thank you!

Got pics? Does it cover more than the original plastic piece etc?
